Greetings From Queretaro

So, I’ve been in Querétaro for a week now! It is a beautiful city, with wonderful people… at least the people who I’ve met are wonderful! I’ve gone to the Centro (downtown colonial area) a few times, been to a couple of malls, the WalMart, and several restaurants. I went to my new church, Horizante, last Sunday, and I think I will like it a lot! The first few days, I stayed with Julian and Whitney, and their little daughter Micaiah. But Whitney and Micaiah went to the States this week, as Whitney is having a baby in about a month. So I am now staying with Martin and Mayte, and their daughters Yetzi and Isamar. Wonderful!

I met my new Mexican family today – the family who I will live with when I return from language school. The family is a woman named Gabi who is about 40 years old, and her two kids, Roberto who is 15, and Gabi who is 12. They are all really nice, I think we will get along well. I want to try my best not to put expectations on them that they should be like the Delgados – NO ONE can be as amazingly awesome as my Honduran family! But, I do certainly hope that this family will be amazingly awesome in their own way!

Monday, I move to Guanajuato for language school. The amount of time I spend there is pretty much up in the air… Before I came, I was scheduled to stay 3 months. Then I came, and they thought 2 months should be good. Today, my team is thinking that maybe I will just stay for 1 month, then come back to Querétaro and study a couple hours a day with Sandy, a girl on our team who studied to be a Spanish teacher. Either way works fine for me!
