One Week Out!!!
Hi everyone! I have now officially been in Mexico for a week! It is so crazy! Things are going really well, but it turns out that Mexico City driving is definitely conducive to car sickness! But other than that things are pretty good. I went to church on sunday and that was definitely an experience! Pretty much no one speaks english here which is really hard and it took a long time to find anyone at church who spoke any at all! I found a guy who spoke enough to get me to the right class, a sister missionary who spoke enough to find out I spoke french, and speak that with me, and then finally a guy missionary who was pretty much fluent, and, might I add, quite attractive. So things got worked out pretty well. I also have gone swimming twice, learned a little Spanish, and found out that everyone here is really, really nice. Every time I meet someone new it is like, Beunos Dias! And a kiss on the cheek. Which I think is like the coolest custom ever, I think I will come back to America kissing everyone's cheeks. So sweet!
Yeah, I'm so glad to hear everyone is treating you so nice and that you are learning the language. Hey, you stay far away from those Elders!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteKeep us posted and I couldn't agree more about the custom of kissing everyone when you say hi...so sweet!
I was also happy to hear people are treating you well. The custom of greeting with a kiss on the cheek is sweet! I enjoy hearing from you!!
ReplyDeleteYeah! You made it! So happy all is going well. I'll be watching your blog for all your adventures.. be safe.. :)
ReplyDeleteHey!!! so exciting! You know, Elders are very attractive. :) Especially when they're the only one around that speaks your language...lol. :) Be safe and have fun!
