Hello everyone!
Wow, the past couple of days have been busy! This weekend I went to three parties with my family. The first one was a church ceremony. When Mexican children turn three, they have what is called a presentation at the temple, just like Jesus had in the Bible. They have a small ceremony with songs and prayers to present the child. We went to a beautiful chapel at a convent for the ceremony and a cute little nun presided over the ceremony.
After, we had a party for the little girl who was presented right outside in a garden. There was food, kareoke, and a clown. It was fun, but it lasted for literally 10 hours. I got to know some of the families church friends. The food was pretty good. They had some people come and they made the food right there. I had chicken, tortillas and some sort of bread and meat combination thing.
The next day, we went to Mass early in the morning. It was so full we had to stand up! It also lasted about 1.5 hours. After, we went to Mely's Mom's house for breakfast for a couple hours. I had sweet bread, orange juice and tacos which was kind of strange! It was nice to meet her family. She has 11 siblings so it was loud.
Later that day, we went out to the family's ranch house out in the country. It is in a really hilly part of Queretaro, so the scenery was pretty. We had a barbeque out there with the church friends again. I played with the little kids the whole time so I had a lot of fun.
More about the first days of classes later!!
