Reflective Flight

What is it about flights that make you reflect?
It brings you to life revelations as the earth below you drifts out of sight
Realizing what truly matters and is important in life, are the things you yearn for
I won´t miss my house, job or cutting the grass.
I won´t miss my car, paying for bills or for gas.
I won´t miss my tv, the video games or computer.
I won´t miss my cell phone, driving in traffic, being a commuter.
What I will miss the most are the people in my life,
my family and friends, the relationships we share.
As Solomon said all is vainity under the sun
except of course my ´sun´day nights with my family and friends!

Ok, guys that´s as poetic as I get! Hope you enjoyed it!
Well we made it safe. To tell you the truth I was even a little apprehensive but that has now turned into pure excitement!

We landed, the flight went well. The brothers Curtis and Sandy picked us up from the airport in their huge van that they drove down from St. Louis along with a 18yr old sister, Ashton, from Seattle. We hit it right off. He first took us around to find an apartment. We mentioned Dean´s but he said a sister in the english congregation owns some bungalows that she rents furnished for $300/month. So we went to see those first. They are really cute! THey told us it was smaller than Dean´s but this is the size of a one bedroom american apartment minus the dining room. We have two bar stools. It´s white stucco with a spanish style roof. Tile everything, with huge windows overlooking Oaxaca valley. Hot water shower, fridge, tv (6 channels all in spanish), dishes, pots, 2 couches. So anyone can come visit. She also rents nightly to the brothers for $40 a night so technically anyone who is interested in visiting can stay in the same complex with us.The bus takes about 25 mins to get to the hall.

So we saw the apartment told the sister we´d take it, dropped our bags off and went out to get something to eat in the Zocalo, changed our money...walked up to Santo Domingo...B saw the pure gold plated church...then we drove by the hall, which he thought was particularly beautiful given the area. Then we headed home, went to a walmart like store stocked up on grocercies. Went back and unpacked and made ourselves right at home!

Right wow we at an internet cafe 2 mins from my family´s house, we actually ran into the two girls on the street on our way here... It´s really nice. Oh the place we´re staying is right off the main drag so Curtis lives past us so he said he´d give us rides to all the meetings on his way! Bookstudy is around the corner. I just can´t believe how easy it all was. It was such a blessing...a very easy transition. B seems to be adjusting nicely and liking it. We have our first meetng tonight. Itzel, Josias, the Santiago´s are still here but apparently there´s like 4 other americans down here as well so we should have no problem making friends!
