... and Tuesday I have culture class. I love it. The teacher knew I was new and didn't know much, so he was very animated. He knows some English. He was asking the class how to say these two words in English so I would understand (because he thought i didn't). Out of everyone (who were all on a higher lever) I knew both words. He was shocked. It was awesome. I pick up on the most random things.

... right cheek. Maybe a handshake, or both. ( to men and women)
- If there is an elder or lady near the guys will get up and let her sit.
- very respectful
- men open the doors for the ladies and let them go through the doors first
- Men usually walk on the street next to the lady who is on the sidewalk. (sidewalk isn't usually big enough for two)

Smiling:
- Noone seems to do it. I smile at all of them, as to not seem ...

... 12- 1 am, and wake up around 10. perfect.

There is this one hangout place my friends and I usually go to called Zilch bar. (not a typical bar) more like a chill place where the bartender comes to you. They have live music alot. It is great. Anyways, the other day I was with this guy friend of mine on the little balcony and this cute little kid came up ...

... Oh, and I got a pic with the luggage guy. It was funny.
Then I got to ride in one of JJoe's friends cars. There was no seat belt in the back. To say the least (after my accfident) I was a little nervous. God protected me.
Once I got to the house, Lupita fed me some wonderful food. Arturo (one of Jared's friends) came over. He is so nice. So, we walked all over the city until midnight. It was awesome ...

... I look forward to seeing the whole group together again! It's amazing but I really think I'm going to miss these people when I return. Tonight I'm going to spend the night here in Leon and head back on the bus in the morning.

I need to tell you a little about yesterday. We all went to a local pool for a church service and then baptisms. It was a neat experience. There were over 20 people baptized, 13 of them from the ...

... quesadillas and a fruit smoothie that was amazing.

On Monday night Josh and Jennifer hold their small group in their home, so I decided to stay for that and see what it was like. It was such a great Bible study with wonderful discussion. Most of these people are new Christians that just want to get to know who God is. Many seem to be battling old preconceived notions of who God is, so this Bible study is ...

... Well the fact of the matter is that if it had not been the end of our 42 days we would probably have tagged along just to see the atolls. What we learned from him was that a flight from Vancouver to Belize is $1,500 (round trip) while a flight to Cancun could be had for half that amount. From Cancun it is a short bus ride to the border with Belize and from there it is a short, cheap flight in a small aircraft to the world's second spectacular ...

... colored flowers and candles-which just made the entire place look amazing. I didn't take many pictures, as I said I would- it just felt wrong... here there are people crying and sharing stories in remembrance of their family members... and the last thing I was going to do was whip out a camera and take pictures- I would have stood out like a sore thumb... however Oscar insisted that I took a few inside the cemetery because he understands why I take them- so he blocked me from ...

... a DIOS! Quote of the day (from my teacher Martin- of course) "Ustedes saben la expresión en ingles- 'no se espere hacer mañana lo que se puede hacer hoy' Pero para los mexicanos la expresión es; 'No se haga hoy que se puede hacer mañana.'" Translation "You know the expression in English: 'Don't wait till tomorrow to do what can be done today?' well for the Mexicans the expression is: 'Don't do today, what can be done tomorrow.'" Funny man Love you all! Daniela
