I love you blog, because everything you write is so raw, authentic, and real, you don't try to sugar-coat everything, or make it sound miserable, you just tell it like it is! <br /> I'm a teenage girl that has huge dreams of being a missionary in Mexico someday..I've learned soo much about the mexican culture through your blog! Like how you have a tienda in the same building as your apartment, and how 30 minutes Mexican time is about an hour. Thankfully, I've almost mastered the Spanish language, so I will have that advantage. But it seems like you're getting along really well, and learning a lot. You're having conversations in Spanish, reading and understanding signs, and seem to be getting better and better! You seem like such a dedicated, ambitious person, sometimes the things I read on your blog make my jaw drop, like moving to Mexico, and that one church that you blogged about with the filthy kids' room, you're inspiring! I know that if you, and American just like me, can do what you've done, than so can I!<br /> Sorry this comment is soo long!<br /> Blessings,<br /> LocaChicaLocaChicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12117730179272395229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-20383286395901309532010-04-14T12:39:45.600-07:002010-04-14T12:39:45.600-07:00Way to go!

You're really doing well. Don'...Too good! You're really doing well. Don't worry about having to jump through a few CR hoops, it's really a good thing and you'll do fine. I've seen some really badly run CRs, with bad reputations and chaos, so it sounds like you've got a good one there.<br />I want to send you an EMSpanish book because you're going to need it at CR, but I can't find your email. Can you send it to me, Amanda, so I can shoot you a book?<br />Send it to: spanish4ems@hotmail.com<br />I think you'll have all your confidence back very shortly.<br />Saludos.- Mexican Trailrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05987460497945211699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-30803517241546741002010-04-13T17:51:38.437-07:002010-04-13T17:51:38.437-07:00You see, Amanda?

I went there myself today and was very pleased. I am going to tell you something else. It is going to get easier and easier at IMSS because once they get to know you, you will become a celebrity. I am the only Gringo that I know of that uses the local IMSS which services over a half million people. If you have patience and are always nice you will soon become a favorite.

Going out and doing things on your own, being able to ask questions, understanding the answer, having conversations, make phone calls -- oh, such essential things in life!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963493525235524241noreply@blogger.com
