Mucho tiempo en avion, pero llego en mi casa

Hey everyone!

I'm home safe and sound after a long time travelling! I started out on Friday morning in Mexico City, then flew to Houston, then to Los Angeles and spent ages about 8 hours in the airport there, then finally the 15 hour flight home. I managed to sleep for about 6-7 hours on the flight back to Australia which was a blessing.

I've been doing pretty well all day, but I've hit a brick wall and I think it's time for snooze!

So yes, I'm back in Australia - it's a very different experience being back than being in Mexico. I'm still speaking and thinking in Spanish back here a bit because I've become so used to making a big effort to do it over in Mexico. It was funny because when I was tired in Mexico, I found it difficult to speak Spanish. When I left Mexico and was tired, I would start speaking Spanish!!

I have met so many amazing people during this trip both in Queretaro and during my travels. I met some cool people in the airport at LAX while I was waiting for the plane - a guy from Mexico City that lives in Sydney, another surfer from Geelong, an American guy who imports custom wheels, a christian American girl heading over to Europe for a week, a stack of people heading off to go on a cruise... so many cool experiences!

So now I'm trying to settle back in to life in Australia for the moment and seek God's plan for the next part of my life. It has been good to reflect on my experience serving God in Mexico. It has truly been a life-changing experience that has changed my priorities and taught me that I can trust God fully, with everything.

I'm so thankful for all my friends in Mexico and I hope and pray that I can see you guys again soon!

I think I'll keep on updating this blog for a bit whilst I kinda integrate back into Australia and keep in touch with my friends in Mexico so keep checking back!
