Two MONTHS in MEXICO!

Today I celebrate my two month anniversary of being here in Mexico City. I remember the first few days I got here wondering if I would ever make it through the following months and well so far I have! I have uploaded six pictures that give a slight over view of my time here so far to flickr (yay it finally worked!) you can check them out at:

Hopefully the link will work. I also sent out my november update, once again if you did not recieve it and would like to let me know and I'll get one on the way. I found out afterwards that the computer I was sending it from most likely had a virus, so if you are affected by this I apologize.

Have I ever mentioned that it was always a secret little hope of mine to be in a country while it was experiencing political unrest? No? Probably because I know its a very strange hope, but now I have seen it through. The new Mexican president took power on the first of December despite the man who lost having declared himself present only about ten days earlier. There is much protest over whether or not the election was corrupt and who the true president is, is apparently still up in the air even after a recount. The chamber of congress actually were punching each other during the switch of presidents. I stayed at home that day.

Now I must go and practice singing in spanish for the church service tonight, as we are celebrating Christmas with all of the cell churches together.

Wow! It is a totaly different place then for me when I went to Essenada. Mostly because we were in the poorest part I think.

Actually, it is funny I have a friend here who just married a girl who is from Mexico city. She left a cozy job working for th Mexico bank and her warm weather to come up here in Northern Alberta and leave al she knew to marry my friend. Now that is love! ;)
