Some new adventures here in Mexicooo

Hello my beautiful amigas!

Or...I mean Dear Blog,

So we have finished exactly 2 weeks of classes and we have exactly 2 more weeks of classes left. Wheww! I had my first oral presentation on Wednesday in my Conversation class. I did mine on Thanksgiving and it was the most intimidating, terrifying thing I've ever done. Glad it's over! Then today I had my first written test in my Grammar class, not that bad so that was refreshing. Then in my Convo class, we watched a movie called El Estudiante...not a bad Friday!

Sarah and I have been laying out multiple days periodically throughout the week. It's something that is so relaxing for us after a long 4 stressful hours of class. Today, some guy who is maybe in his mid 30's (who we've seen once or twice before wandering around) offered us a drink, we said no thanks. Welp you bet your bottom dollar within a total of 3 minutes, he was right back with 2 red cups with Mali-freakin-bu (remember Bear!) and pineapple juice. Haha oh this guy. We laughed and drank some of it ;)

We went to Puerto Vallarta last weekend!!! SO FUN! Our hotel was more of like a resort, huge, right on the beach, 2 huge pools, 3 bars, buffet meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We loved it. Sarah and I got such a deal for the weekend. So cheap! And we didn't leave the place, food was included, drinks, everything! Loved it!

Tomorrow we are sleeping in for the first time in a while :) and then just hanging low all day. Yessss probably be out by the pool again ;), studying for our first Vocab test (don't worry it's just 5 chapters of words ugh.), eating and hanging out. Looking forward to it! Sunday we are going to the Gran Plaza in Zapopan. We will either take the bus or a taxi, it's only about 15 minutes from us. Lots of boutiques, good food, movie theater, etc. Our homestay money doesn't include food on Sundays so we are going then and not tomorrow since we have to buy food anyways for ourselves :) We're excited!

OH! We got hot water in our shower today!!! No idea why but it was the nicest treat ever. Never knew how much I took for advantage something like hot water, huh. Thank you Jesus for the little things. Also, there are giant ants in the bathroom. I mean GIANT. They're on toilet seat too; I'm always so afraid yuck! Sarah saw the huge cockroach last night. Supposedly our exchange sister has seen it before too. Disgusting.

Sheesh what am I going to do when I'm up at camp and don't have access to a computer like I do now! Shoot. I'm kinda getting anxious for my leader position for camp. 2 weeks and 1 day till I'm up there. I was asked or more informed that I would be speaking and giving "My Story" once I arrive to all the 200 people on the staffs of Forest Home during Orientation week. Very nerve wracking to have been chosen like that. But very exciting.

I'm praying for all 7 of you individually and for our group as a whole. Everyday. Love you friends. Miss you mucho!
