She Made It!

November 6, 2013

Hola familia!

I made it to Mexico City! Oh my goodness is it so beautiful! I am going to love it! Only got lost in the airport a couple of times, ha ha. One sister accidentally went through a security thing on our layover so she had to go through security again! But she made it so it wasn`t too big of a deal! My flights were awesome and I had the window seats both times! Yay for windows!! But it was kind of a bummer because I didn`t sit by any of the other missionaries. There were about 25 of us on the flight. We had about ten from Salt lake then we met up with the others in Texas.

 Super crazy sauce my companion is Kaitlyn Williams, Hermana Williams. But it was funny because she was the one other sister that I was really talking to on the plane and during our layovers. So that was really cool when we got here and we were companions! She is the second oldest of 7 kids, she is from Eagle Mountain, went to Rockwell. She is allergic to gluten! Crazy that we became pretty great friends before we even got here. Such a blessing! We were both glad our companions were not crazy! At least that we know of yet. ;)

We traveled by bus from the airport, a big CCM bus! Got to experience all of the crazy Mexican driving! It was super wonderful. Hermano Silva taught us a little spanish on the way over. It was a great experience. Funny cause the guy at the airport who was inside to greet us spoke no english! So fun though! Learning lots and it hasn`t been that long!! Some random lady at the airport translated for us! Basically he said follow me and we went and got on the bus.

We basically put on our name tags, watched a welcome video then came in and wrote you! We recieved a huge envelope upon arrival that has our key to our apartment, apparently the sisters are all in little casas, so that will be fun to check those out! It also has some random info, a map, two name tags, one of which I am wearing! Crazy! I think today we get to unpack and finish orientation then tomorrow we start head strong! It will be so incredible!

I also think I have to visit the doctor about shots. . . whoops! haha. It will all be great though!

Oh and Hermana williams is headed to Houston Texas for her mission! So that was kind of neat we stopped in Texas on the way. She seems super incredible! Can`t wait to get to know her more and learn some spanish! 

I am starting to understand what Collin said about the keyboard. . . whoops! 

Love you,
