I am starting to get so excited!!! Today I started and finished packing my bags for Mexico. Let me tell you something....packing for 12 weeks in two 50 lbs. bags is no easy task! I was quite impressed with the fact that I managed to pack all that I thought I would need in two bags weighing 49.2 lbs each. Guess I cut it kinda close.
On Thursday mom, dad, and I are heading to Nebraska to see family and on Sunday I will fly out of Omaha. It will be a long day of traveling, but by the end of the day I will arrive in Mexico City and head to Cuernavaca to meet my family.
I have been in contact with the director of the school, Leticia, and I have received the information on my home stay family!!! I will be staying with the Zamora family. They live within 5 minutes of the school, which is nice because I can walk to and from school easily. The wife is a teacher and her husband in an engineer. They have two daughters around my age who are both married, one of which lives in Spain. They have two grand kids and one of them tends to spend a lot of time at their house. The Zamora's also own a small store were they sell Mexican arts and crafts. I will have a roommate but I don't know who she is yet.
The director of the school, Leticia, is best friends with this family and every week they get together for a Bible study. I'm so glad to be with a Christian family and I have been invited to join them in their Bible studies.
That's all for now and I'm counting down the days till my adventure officially begins!!
