I´m here. Its official. I met my trainer\companion for the next 6 weeks his name is Elder Sorensen!!
He is so funny and I love him so much! We are gonna be able to help so many people! He's our District leader as well and one of the funniest people. He's from Colorado which is good because he speaks English. I got to Villahermosa and met my mission President, President Haws and he's such a good guy. I am one of 21 new missionaries that flew in yesterday. I literally couldn't be in a better mission. My mission is the highest baptizing mission in Mexico. They broke an all time record last week with 51 baptisms in one week! They had over 200 just last month. It's crazy and I'm so ready for this. The people here are all so nice and we are able to talk to so many people.
I am currently serving in Agua Dulce in Veracruz. That literally means water candy but the water is all green. Agua Dulce is a village or city built in a jungle. There are so many mosquitoes and everything is very very green. Its so cool here and I'm so excited!! Our casa is one of the nicest in the missions and it's really big we live with a lady in the ward! We also get to live with two other Elders. I still have to shower with a bucket but its okay because we have a CLIMA!! Its just a little AC unit that sits on the window, we are living lavish out here. We have a dog his name is Floyd his fricken nasty but also just a good little guard pup hahaha
I hit the ground running we got to Agua Dulce dropped my stuff off and went to a members house for dinner and got to share a little message. The people here speak so weird. It's so slurred and really broken Spanish which makes it harder to learn but ill be okay i just need to talk a lot. I talked a little and smiled a lot because that's all I really know how to do hahah. My companion is so great he said to just always follow the spirit no matter what and things will be okay. It was really cool and we were able to get a referral from him.We have a lot off appointments. The members are so involved here it's awesome it makes me realize how much better we need to get in the States. I've only been out a little but the most important thing I've learned how critical members are.
I'm kind of a little shaken up and nervous because I still have no idea what's going on. The way of life here is polar opposite of the way it is at home and I'm getting used to a new way of doing things. I've never had to live with someone 24/7 until now and I'm nervous how that will be by the end of the transfer. It's still weird to think about how I'm on a mission and that this is so real now.
We walk everywhere and it is so humid everywhere we go!
I miss all of you guys soo much sorry I didn't have a lot of time today to write but I have some pics!
