i´m here!

here´s a quick note to let you know the four of us all arrived safely in Mexico City yesterday. Derek Hostetler met us, him and his wife Ana are the country representatives for MCC here in Mexico, and we´re staying at their house. Their three year old son, Lucas provides plenty of entertainment for us. This morning we were riding a combi (like a VW mini-bus??) back from the Mennonite church we worshiped with, and going extremly fast down a hill when Lucas turns to Ana and asks, ¨Why are we going so fast?¨ she responds, ¨I guess the driver just wants to get there¨and he responds in a very confused manner, ¨But we are not a race car!¨ ...at which we all burst out laughing. :)

Early tomorrow morning we leave for Cuernavaca, the city I´ll be in this year. The four of us will all be in language school for about 4 weeks, living with various host families. I´m really ready to start using more Spanish and can´t wait for classes to begin!

I wanted to post a few pictures but have to appologize because I cannot figure out how to rotate them! Nonetheless, the first is from the rooftop of Derek & Ana´s house, the second of some flowers they have growing outside.



Peace & Love,
