Hi mom and dad,
I got into Mexico a couple of hours ago, and just finally set up this email account! the plane was fine, and there was one other elder going with me from Arizona Elder Nelson, from mesa AZ. When we got to Texas we went the the terminal for mexico and found two other elders sitting waiting as well. The flight was drawing near and we thought that it would just be us five on the plane to Mexico, and we turned around and counted 45 missionaries coming down the escalator! Over half the plane was full of missionaries, from all over the place, going all over the place.
I got to sit next to a lady that lives in Mexico City on the plane, and I spoke with her in Spanish a little. No one else knows a lick of Spanish on the plane, so that made me feel really smart, and I was asked on the bus and in all the instructions to translate, because at the MTC not a single staff member speaks any English Mexico is just like it is in the movies, crazy driving, everything is old and beat up. I didn't see more than a handful of cars that weren't dented all over the place. Also you can't stand a single place on the street without being at least 10 feet away from graffiti.
The MTC is really nice, it has a super high barbwire fence, and a huge iron gate, so it is somewhat secluded. I'm really excited to be here, the weather is awesome like 75 with a little bit of humidity.
