I am in Mexico right now as of very early this morning (my flight landed at 3:00AM and I got to my house after 5:00). After being delayed 2 hours in Chicago (with a plane and no gate—which was slightly confusing/frustrating since there were many empty gates) we got here and were pulled over by the police just seconds after leaving the airport (literally). Anyway, that took just over 30 minutes and we were again on our way. I met my family and I love them already. I have two sisters (only one of whom I’ve met—the other is married and out of the house) and that was a wonderful surprise. God is so good!! Today I slept in and woke up to a wonderful, relaxing day with the fam. After breakfast and chatting with my mom (Alejandra), I met my dad and we all ate almuerzo. The food has been delicious and Alejandra has been great about asking me what I like and dislike. Then I unpacked my suitcases (feeling a little self-conscious as my 8-year-old sister Jenny kept talking about how much stuff I have). Then I played with Jenny and we ended up playing cards. I taught her and her mom war and they taught me a game too. Then we all went to the tienda (Walmart-like store) together. It was cool to walk around with them and compare products/prices to the U.S. Then we came home and ate dinner and watched a little T.V. (movies in English with Spanish subtitles). It was a great first day in Mexico!
