Dear journal,

Things have gotten better! The hardest part is over...at least I think!

I said my goodbyes, I successfully made it ithrough three airports by MYSELF! BOOYA! Okay...I lie. I successfully made it it through two and a half airports by myself. I needed some assistance in the Monterrey airport. Ha ha. I had a little...okay a BIG...detour in the Monterry airport. I was lost in seconds. I tried keeping my cool and acting like I knew what I was doing and knew what I was doing, but that act worked for only a good.....2.6 seconds.

Then I was cryin like a baby again, freaking out that at any second my head was going to be sliced off my a very unhappy man who wanted some drugs. SCAR-Y!

So...within seconds some kind, gracious fellow that worked at the airport came up and tried to help me get to where I was headed. But...being that I was completely beside myself and just wanted my mommy, NO SPANISH WORDS could come to my mind, let alone out of my mouth!

So that was quite the scene- one man speaking Spanish so fast you'd swear words were coming out faster than the speed of light, and one girl studdering so much you'd swear she'd never been out in public before.

Well... to make a long story short, I eventually found my way around the airport and my ride to Back2Back! Woo hoo! HALLELUIA! Praise the Lord! I survived!

So...I get to Back2Back, meet the other interns and some staff, sit down, take a deep breath, pray to God He gives me strength to finish the day, step out of my dorm, take a look at the mountains and say "LET'S DO THIS!"
