Se encuentra mi maleta (My baggage is found!)

Hi all!

Guess what!? I faxed the baggage people last night with a picture of the bag and also a long list of all the contents and its value in USD (for compensation purposes) and what do you know!? Today they have found it!

I still have not received it, so don´t stop praying, but I´m really excited! God has taught me a valuable lesson - I don´t need my "stuff". But it will be really useful to have my stuff returned, especially the Aussie items - footies, Vegemite and souvenirs that I can use for Australia Night this Friday.

This afternoon, we went to the University of Queretaro and handed out notices about my English classes and the Australia Night. It was cool how interested the uni students were. Back at Melbourne Uni I think we would have just walked on by! I start my first English class on Thursday night, so please pray for that.

After that, I worked at Global Grounds with a couple of the young Mexican guys - Alvaro and Sergio. We were really quiet to start with so we just hung out together and played guitar and read the bible - that was super cool. Later we got really busy so I was making coffee and meeting new people.

I am continuing to learn Spanish, but as always having some funny language faux pas. Today is was quite sunny and we were walking down the road and I said: "Estoy muy caliente" That literally means "I am very hot" EXCEPT in Mexico it means "I am very horny!" hahaha so I learned that I should say "Yo tengo calor" which literally means "I have heat" and that is better.

Signing off for tonight!
