October 7, 2013




Hey family, 

I made it to Mexico. I’m serving in Mexicali. It’s way hot here. The mission president doesn’t speak English. My companion is Elder Hernandez, he is from somewhere in Mexico, the other two elders we live with are from Peru and Mexico. My companion and the one from Peru know a little English. There is a lot of poverty here and a ton of dogs everywhere. Our house we live in is pretty nice compared to the houses here, we have a shower, its only cold water haha but that’s alright. It’s really humid and hot here, it’s a good thing I came right now because in the summer it gets up to 120 degrees everyday. My Spanish is improving a lot and I am beginning to kind of understand some things. It’s pretty sketchy here, especially in the dark, the sun goes down at about 6:30. There are a few people that speak English here. I met a guy who works in Jackson so it was good to talk with him in English. All of conference was is Spanish so I didn’t understand anything. The food is pretty good down here so far, you just have to make sure you are drinking clean water. It sounds like you had a good time in Utah, that’s good to hear. Anyways I don’t have a lot of time to e-mail, next week I will try to send some pictures, I don’t have my cord with me right now. Anyways I hope you guys are doing good!!
