Bienvenidos

So Week 1!
The first week we arrived and read through the Bible. We do this to prepare ourselves in some ways, to lay a foundation and to get God's heart for the area and the peopl.

We spent alot of time getting used to the food (which we have been so blessed with probably the best torta place in all of Mexico across the road). We spent time getting to know the area and praying. We also met some amazing new Mexican friends which join us in doing evangelism, and we also went to our first Church service in Mexico City.

Here are some images that can help describe where I live:

I really love this car, alot look similar to this actually.




Fresh fruit is a bonus!




Housing - I really love the bright vibrant colours


The Metro - generally an alright experience. Except at peak hours where your likely to be squished up against the glass doors!


Dinner at our house with our new Mexican friends!

So How Did I Get Here?

Hola Amigos,

So i'm now in Mexico City, and I am seriously slack at writing blogs. :)

Well I went the long way round to get here, due to the whole Visa issue trying to go to Kona earlier this year! So I was blessed (some would think differently) and able to fly:
Perth to Singapore.
Singapore to Kuala Lumpur.
Kuala Lumpur to Amsterdam.
Amsterdam to Mexico City.
Total Travel time = 56Hours.

I did have alot of fun, including when my Visa card blocked me off when I was in KL, and was forced to eat the Tim Tams I had packed in my luggage for the 11 hour stop over.


In KL - "That's how it's spelt right?" .. "Yeah, that'll do."


Kuala Lumpur


KL - I was able to keep somewhat occupied with the Fifa - however I did fall asleep on the couch.


Now off to Amsterdam


Just before landing in Amsterdam - Jesus you're pretty sweet.

I was able to head out in Amsterdam, which was really great, minus being there at 6am local time, and barely anything was open. But my first time in Europe, so very exciting. I managed to get myself a Dutch pastry and a fresh OJ! But I couldn't find any coffee shops that were open that early, so I headed back to the airport!



Arrival In Amsterdam - I'm getting a little tired now!


Amsterdam - Professoinal at public transport


Amsterdam - Really Beautiful - I loved it!


Amsterdam - Quite possibly the coolest bike ever!


Amsterdam - I've seen places similar to this on movies, so pretty.


Amsterdam - Fifa Fever


Amsterdam - Little babie swannies


Cannabis - Why Pay More?


Amsterdam - The dutch pastry mmm.



Amsterdam Coffee - Two of the best words in the world!


I really liked this door entrance


Fresh OJ!

Then finally I was on my last flight to Mexico City, which was brilliant, definately recommend KLM airlines :).


Mexico City!!
