1st Day

It's Tuesday afternoon and my first day in Mexico. Our trip here went extremely well! We made our way through luggage check-in and security in about 15 minutes. It could not have gone more smoothly. Our flight to Houston was delayed, and we were worried that we might miss our connecting flight to Mexico City, but God was looking out for us. It turned out that our flight to Mexico was delayed as well, giving us ample time to get there and board the plane. When we arrived in the Mexico airport, we were able to find our luggage in only a few minutes. We also made it through customs with no trouble at all, and only waited about 10 minutes for Bethany and Kurt to arrive to pick us up. Ironically, the drive from the airport to Bethany's house was the most eventful and exciting part of the entire trip! I received my first culture shock as I watched a semi-truck come within inches of our car!!! The driving down here is insane! However, apart from the near death experiences, the drive was a great time to get to know Bethany and her fiance better. Finally, around 1:00 am we arrived safe, sound, and very tired at Bethany's home. We spent the next 45 minutes becoming familiar with the house we will be staying at and talking with Bethany about old memories and her life here in Mexico. I am really excited to be here, and am very grateful that the Lord blessed us with such a wonderful, safe, and uneventful trip to Mexico City.
