I have officially arrived. I can´t believe I´m finally here! My companion is a sweet Hermana from Utah, named Hermana H. And I don´t understand much of what´s going on quite yet, but I know that´ll come. Hoperfully I get the gist of what´s going on in our first lesson tonight!
Our flights went well, despite having a late start. And it was wonderful to be able to call home! Next time I hear everyone´s voices I´ll hopefully need to be thinking in a different language then I´ve grown acustome to!
I was feeling a fair bit nervous, but now that I´m here it just feels right. Hot. But right :) It really is a desert here, palm trees everywhere! It looks exactly like what I would have figured Mexico would in an almost stereotypical way. But it´s beautiful! I´m in an area called J. It´s a ward that is split in half with 2 sets of Hermanas. And one of the other Hermanas knows Sister Holly D.!
The mission president and his wife are wonderful. They don´t speak much english, so they had an assistant to the president translate. The elder who was translating heads home tomorrow! It was so exciting to be able to get off of the plane and see them all in the airport!
My companion from the MTC is in the same Zone, so I may be able to see her again soon. Apparently there are under 200 missionaries in this mission. We also are to finish up our lessons early so that we´re back every night. And a rule I wasn´t expecting- we wear nylons in this mission!
I´m off to my first week in the field.
