I´m here and alive!!

I need to make this short, but I wanted to let everyone know that I am in Mexico and all is well!!

The two days worth of bus rides was pretty exhausting because both of my departures were very early in the morning, and I can´t really sleep on buses. So very sleep deprived I arrive in Cuauhtemoc yesterday evening with 4 other fellow students. Today we all slept in and then got a tour of the Mennonite part of the town. I don´t feel like getting into details, but let´s say I ate a lot of cheese... and there was a bunch of white folks who didn´t speak English or a lot of Spanish... and there was a dog. But I am well and things are going great so far. Tomorrow I meet up for class, and then I will be heading out Monday to stay with my host family! Very exciting.

Other than the area being beautiful and the people being more than accomidating and friendly, we´re all kind of learning things as we go along. Please continue to pray for safety and good health for me and the group. Also pray that the whole group will get here soon, cause not everyone is here yet. Okay.... that´s it! Adios!

Vaya con dios,

Leah
