hola!!!!
ok juuuust a heads up this keyboard is straight up CRAZY so
please excuse my less than accurate grammar. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS GOING
THROUGH MY HEAD RIGHT NOW AND THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER. I
cannot believe that I am actually in Zac Quists beloved land, Mexico city. I
had a great day. Seriously it has been so fun and the absolute epitome of
adventure.
I have just been out of my mind excited today. I got on the
plane to Dallas, and nothing terribly eventful happened on that flight. I sat
next to a really cool guy who was way chill. I just read PMG (the
missionary handbook) like no body’s business because I wanted to finish it before
I got to the mtc (missionary training center). Goal accomplished. anywayyyyy. I
got to Dallas, dad thanks for the tram tip bc I knew exactly what to do. no
sweat.
I immediately checked the flight board to see if my flight
was delayed because KYLIE HIRSCHI (cousin and college roommate who is also
going on a mission and is heading to Portugal today) WAS GETTING TO DALLAS
AT 540 PM AND I WAS LEAVING DALLAS AT 535. Alas, there was no delay. My heart
broke a little bit when I had to board that plane. I stared at the stairs to my
gate as long as possible to see if she would come running down. to no avail.
That was maybe one of the hardest moments bc I knew we were so close!! But it
is ok. I met two lovely Elders (male missionaries) at the Dallas airport.
hahahaha they are sooooooo funny!! We have been cracking up all day. Elder
Christofferson is from Fresno, and Elder Manning is from southern Cal. 19 and
18 respectively. We have been chatting away and so excited and just
loving this exhausting day. The three of us were the only lds missionaries and
we grabbed a bite and got on the plane.
The second flight was a little different than the first. I
got on the plane, and this is what I heard,
´aspdiufhañekfioludhfioasduhfoiuashdfipuhawiaeiu´ in other words, the language
of spanish. FULL IMMERSION FIRST DAY PEOPLE. WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS
HOLY IS GOING ON HERE????????
Additionally, some tips for the human race. Don’t open
lotion in a pressurized cabinet. And after you do that anyways, and learn that
it will explode all over you, don’t open your water bottle IN YOUR FACE and
have it spray you in the face bc the Mexican lady next to you will NOT laugh
and you will not know how to handle the situation. Instead you will awkwardly
wipe the water off your face and muffle embarrassed laughter.
The plane ride was so awesome. Every time I
would look at Elder Christofferson I would crack up laughing bc he always had
this bewildered look on his face. He is sooo good though. He is really
energetic and loves the mission already.
Oh and a girl in front of me lost something and was asking
me to help her find it in Spanish. I got the general idea and I tried to help
but I kept saying, “uhhhh lo siento!!!”. We flew over Mexico city after a quick
flight and it is gigantic!!! I had no idea and the lights were soooo pretty. We
landed and we went through customs, made some friends. Mexico. What a place.
We found the MTC personnel and guess what folks??? no
ingles!!! Perfect! hahah. We had no idea what was going on. They
asked us some stuff, we tried to respond. They took us to a van and we tried to
make exchanges in Spanish. we did pretty well actually. so that was fun.
Mexican drivers are que loco fyi.
So we are here. I ALREADY LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I love it. The
spirit is strong here and I know I am not alone. I feel so great and just keep
laughing and smiling. Bring on the challenge.
Let the games begin!
