I really like this.

Sorry I wasn't smart enough to flip it. This pic brings to mind the perfect word: cheerny (cheesy + corny).

Today was my first day of classes. Loved it! The teachers were great, the classes seemed challenging but fun, and I was surprised how much Spanish I understood. I need to take some pictures of the campus, but it's a really beautiful place (like everything else here, haha). The buildings are designed to all have plazas, so it's easy to meet and mingle. I don't have much to say other than I'm excited for what's to come!

And though I'm becoming más o menos (more or less) accustomed to the bus system and the general locations of things, I had yet another bus adventure. Today I got on the correct numbered bus, however I was at the wrong bus stop, meaning this was the bus on the way back from where I wanted to go. I basically took a bus that was going in the total opposite direction of school... on my first day. Long story short, I ended up getting off and taking a taxi to school. Oh and today when I was walking home, I got lost. I think I've seen just about all the good--and bad-- parts of the city. God is definitely using it to teach me some things. Humility seems to be the reoccurring lesson

And I just came across an amazing song that I felt the need to share here:

Things to come:
More about Querétaro, my city of residence.
Info about my university here
A typical day in Mexico
Other international students

Prayers:
For a pure heart with pure intentions
Focus for why I'm here
A willingness and openness to what God has in store in Mexico
For a fruitful relationship with my host family
Patience with learning Spanish
Confidence in my identity in Christ
