smell that? .. yea.. thats fish..

So, here i am, in Mazatlan Mexico.

I feel like i have so much to tell you, but not enough words, or time.

Leaving Canada was an interesting feeling, I wasnt really feeling anything.

I mean it was tough to leave my family and friends behind, but I can deal with it.

I had a pretty good flight from toronto to mexico city.

The highlight of the flight was when the flight attendant asked me if i requested a 'lactose free' meal. I told her yes, so she hands me my tray that says 'lactosa free'

the smell of pancakes an syrup flooded the small plane we were in, I got excited to see what I was going to have for breakfast.

Eggs, Salsa, Homefries, all smother in cheese.

Ha, FUNNYY

My flight from mexico city to mazatlan was average. It was in the smallest passenger plane I have ever been in, I arrived at the airport slightly delayed to find C. A wonderful part of my DTS staff waiting with a sign that read 'YWAM'

We got all my stuff in the truck, and headed for the base.

We arrived at the base, I put my stuff in my room, and went downstairs to catch the end of dinner. I sat down meeting many many people, and felt totally at home.

this is where im supposed to be.

Although I was totally exhausted I went out exploring the town with some of the other students. One of which is a french canadian, who was homeless in Mazatlan for the last few weeks.

Mexican culture is amazing, taco stands everywhere you go, music, fun, and laid back all the time.

The base itself is amazing.

We are right on the beach of a bay. Our balcony over looks the ocean.

Me, being the canadian I am, I sleep on the balcony listening to the waves.

Its to 'frio' (cold) for the other students but its just perfect for me.

The base needs to raise 4 million pesos in the next 2 months for the last payment to own this piece of property, please keep our finances in your prayers!

Over the last few days of classes, I wasnt really learning anything, but then again it was just orientation. This whole week is just getting a ready and setting expectations for the next 6 months.

Yesterday G talked to us about the 'rights' we have as people that hold us back from God.

It really got me thinking about my own life, and what I have the 'right' to. I discovered so much about myself and how selfish I can be.

Yesterday really brought light to the fact that I am going to transform as a person while Im down here.

Im so stoked to be here serving God, by serving the people of Mazatlan Mexico.

Thank you for being a part of this journey.

love you all.
