Day 3.

My second full day here. Right now, I am sitting with the other people from the compound and eating a chicken and bacon sandwich in one of the cafes. The food hasn't upset my tummy yet but it definately doesn't taste like home. Right now, I could go for one of mom's egg salad sandwiches.
We went to church this morning and on the way there, we saw a snake. Holy cow, I nearly peed my pants! I grabbed onto Kelseys arm and she laughed so hard at me. I am such a baby. Once we got to the church it was everything I thought it would be. So simple yet so beautiful. Everyone was so nice and as we got started.... A GIANT GECKO came crawling across the wall. We all laughed and it was nice to see some of the local wildlife!
Lastnight we went to Danyne's husbands restaurant for pizza. It was delish. I have been meeting so many people and it is great to make connections with people from all over the world.
We are all without internet right now. We have had to go to cafes and it seems like we will be without internet for a while. Much life mexico... Everything is done in "African Time". This is tough for me as you all know I am very set on times and being there when it is supposed to happen.
I think this post is a little all over the place but that is seriously how I am feeling. I really want to talk to some people home but because we are really only on the internet at like, 3AM your time... It has been tough. I can do this though.
Thank you all for following me and giving me the encouraging words. I need to hear this once in a while. Thank you. Thank you.
