I am here!

Well, I am here. I arrived about 8:00 monday evening, cruised around the city with Jessica (one of the missionaries from the US) for a while, picked up her husband Jean Paul from school and then went to my home. Not going to lie, I am a little overwhelmed. I feel like my 6 years of studying spanish are completely worthless. But it was just the first night, so hopefully it will get better.
My house is great, I love it already. I live with Evy, who is about 40 and her mother America. They have a beautiful home. I have my own bedroom and bathroom and there is even a pretty fountain in the back of the house that she said I can sit and read by. Evy can speak English if she needs to but knows I need to practice Spanish. I think they are a little more direct than many Mexicans, for example, they just keep telling me that I have to tell them when I don't like any food because they want me to be comfortable and they want me to feel like family.
Even though I am asking myself "what the heck am I doing here" I know that God is in control. Evy and America say that I am an answer to prayer because they were praying that God would send them someone to live with them. Someone to whom they could be a blessing and someone who could bless them. Thank you Jesus that I have a house in which I can be comfortable! (despite the lack of AC)
Today I will go to Horizonte Church and meet the pastor and just be generally oriented, so I will let you know how that goes!
