Life is soooo good!

so we have only been in mexico city for like three full days and it has been so amazing. god is soooo good. he has truly provided for us here. first of all our friend javo picked us up from the airport without telling us. such a blessing. love it. then we already had a hotel lined up for us to stay the first night. then alicia, becca and i plan out what we want to learn and how we want to grow during our 6 months here. the coffee shop dream. thats all i really have to say. it is going to happen. i know it will. god is sooooo good. we are all on the same page and it is amazing. i am so excited to see how we grow.

so our second day in df we go check out an apartment and it is perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! right in the middle of the city. right next to a metro station. perfect price. just pefect. safe. yellow walls. 2 bedrooms. bathroom. kitchen!!! living room with amazing couch and really cute table! coffee maker! oxxo right around the corner. perfect. absolutely perfect.

third day in the city. new years eve! amazing! so in the afternoon we are walking down the street and we meet a couple of guys and their two kids-nephews. so we decide to meet them later and they drive us to the angel in the middle of the city. there is a huge concert with a really popular singer, but we didnt know who he was! jaja :) so then they invite us to have dinner with all of their family at their house. so we walk in and there are probably 20 or so people and we definitely stand out as 3 gringas! so we dance and listen to music and they serve us dinner! they dont even know us and yet they take us into their house. it was so much fun to celebrate new years with our new mexican family! so then their tradition is to right at midnight to eat 12 grapes as fast as they can and to make wishes for each month-grape. so much fun. and then later that night we went out and shot off fireworks. yes thats right. we shot off fireworks. then some police men started walking towards us and we asked our new friend samar if fireworks were illegal. and he was like yeah... totally calm and the three of us start freaking out thinking that we might have to go to jail! jaja. but he was messing with us, because they are all friends with the police. such a good end to the night. love it!

then the next day we just walk around the city and go back to lots of places from the summer--la bella lula, amazing pizza place, hotel mallorca, zocalo, starbucks, some more starbucks, and then a mc'cafe which is definitely a coffee shop in mcdonalds, but it is amazing!!!-- and now we have plans to go to pachuca to visit our friend javo and then to toluca to visit all of our friends this weekend! so so so exciting! i cannot wait!

yay! yay! yay! so god is soo soo good. and i cannot wait to see what happens. oh my gosh, it has only been less than four days and we have six months! i cannot wait! i love you all so much! ah! you should all come to visit! :)
