Week Six: Estoy En Mexico!

I cant belive it but im in Mexico! the trip went well and we didnt have any real problems. when we arrived in Guadalajara we were met by the Mission President and his 2 APs. 

We went to the mission offices, dropped off our luggage and went to the mission presidents house to have dinner. we had something called carne en tu.. something i cant remember what it was, but it was a stew thing and it was really good. after dinner we had interviews with our president and recieved instruction from the aps and the mission presidents wife hermana camerillo. 

we ended our night at the secretaries apartment. we had 12 elders and 5 matresses lined up on their floor. 

​Our first night here we had 10 elders sleeping on 5 mattresses in the secretaries apatrment. it was an interesting night...

Its was a pretty interesting night. this morning we went to a chapel, had breakfast, listened to a talk from president camerillo, and then recieved our trainers.

I dont remember the name of my trainer and im to embarassed to ask him haha so ill let you know his name next monday (my pday). He doesnt speak english, so its a little difficult to get to know him and stuff, but he is from mexico city and i can tell he is going to be a great trainer. we already taught a lesson to our landlord. we were just there about 10 minutes ago and it was difficult because i dont really understand all of what is going on, but my companinon does a good job of letting me talk about things i can. like the book of mormon and the restoration pamphlet. we committed him to a baptismal date and set up an appointment for tomorrow. this is crazy and i cant belive im here, but im excited to work hard and hopefully be able to speak spanish soon. while in the mtc i thought i was pretty good, but i now realize that i can speak less than most the 2 year olds here hahaha ok well i dont have much time, but i just wanted to let you know that im here and safe!

this thing jumped out of my bag a couple of mornings ago when we were about to leave the apartment. i dont know what it is, but it scared the crap out of me.

this is my pillow.. i think it was white at one point, but now its almost golden yellow

sorry for the 4th letter, but i just realized that i never said where i am! im in Patrea which is a suburb of Guadalajara. the climate is actually not bad, but it has been cloudy almost every day, so im sure its going to be super hot soon. oh and i eat beans and tortillas almost every day because thats what everyone is mexico eats! we eat luch with a member almost every day and we always get some kind of beans, rice, and meat every time and i love it! mexican food IS THE BEEEST.
