One more day in Mexico...

Hey! I haven't written in a while... I am not sure if anyone reads it, but just in case, I want to update it! :) I have had a good few weeks. I have time for nothing but to go to and come from work and actually work. It is good though. I feel like I like work for the most part and I am getting to meet people, do new things... I haven't been to church in a while now and that needs to change asap because I don't want to get lazy. But I am thankful God has me here and I feel like I am in a good place... at a point I wasn't sure I was meant to be here, but I feel like it's a stage in my life He wants me to go through and endure. I am trying to enjoy it while I am in this moment.
Other more trivial things are that traffic is awful. It is so awful! It took me 2 and 1/2 hours to get back to my hotel the other night (Friday) when on Saturday, it only took about 12 minutes. I didn't come back from work on Saturday, but from a place called Lomas Verdes, which is a little beyond work. Crazy, right? I was there on Saturday and Sunday because I went to see a friend of mine who was playing a tennis tournament. She is from Argentina and I had not seen her in nearly seven years. It was good to encourage her during the tournament and be a fan :) She lost in the finals -a great score considering she was playing a professional tournament. It was fun to watch, but I must admit it was hard to just watch and not play :(
So... to get there both on Saturday and Sunday, I rode the public transportation. I am telling you this is so different! It seems like Argentina is so developed compared to Mexico sometimes. I had to take 3 buses to get there and walk some. The first bus I got on, I had no idea how things were done. In Argentina, we have change machines to pay for your ticket. Here, we had to give the money to the driver, which made me think it makes it to easy to be dishonest. So, I told the bus driver where I was going and he told me how much and that was it. I went on and got on a seat and guys my legs did not fit in the tight space. I feel so tall in Mexico!!! I mean really!! So, after that, I took two other buses and got pretty near the tennis club. I guess another interesting fact about the buses is that they are a little dirty, but I was trying to block that out and think of the people riding and their stories and their lives... but really these buses are so funny looking I wish I had the guts to take pictures... I just don't want to show off my camera everywhere, I have been told is not very safe, so I try to be very cautious (without being paranoic). Of course being cautious means I do everything I want to, but I have taken off any bracelest and rings that could be valuable. That way, if someone steals from me, I won't feel that bad. Everyone tells me I am pretty brave though for riding on the bus :) I love to do things like that and besides there is no large enough budget for taxis everyday. Mexico City and everything about this city is beautiful in its own way. I am happy and alone but happy. Finally, huh? I am getting used to being alone a lot or maybe just to be content with my situation, knowing God is my friend and my adventure buddy.
So... I have to run to my neighbor's house to have dinner. One of my first dinners out and about. I really hope no chiles are in the food this time ;) I love everyone, thank you for reading me, and I hope this finds you doing well. Chau my friends and I can't wait to hear from you!

Chile & Mexico...

I am not going to post pictures yet because they are still in my camera. I went to Chile as many of you know for a work event. It was a good event, many people showed up and we visited a ton of clientes. It was a learning experience for me. I also got to see my parents there... it was great to see them, my sister Gorda and Ana, one of my nieces. We had a great time and got to see an amazing country, where I would like to return for longer than just a week.
Now I am back in Mexico and my life is lonely. I reach out to the Lord to find some peace and answers to my questions. It is hard though. But you know what? I am blessed. I can't complain... the Lord has promised to take care of me and He has plans to prosper me. He loves me and He is faithful and I hold on to that. In a world where everyone and everything fails, He is a faithful Lord and I am blessed by Him and His wonderful character. His daily mercies are enough and plenty.
That is all I have for now. I will post some pictures of Chile and my new home in Mexico -a hotel called Batia, located in front of "The World Trade Center," which reminds me of the country I used to call home not too long ago. I miss it and its people, but I am rejoicing in my very small sufferings knowing that God is working in me. That is hope I only find in God and fo which I am thankful.
