ok so i am here in mexico now and it is really huge! Like when we landed in mexico city it was the biggest city i have ever seen. it has houses everywhere and when we flew out it was like so lit up. there are just so many houses and it is weird, they just like build their houses right up the side of the mountain. but ya, it is really cool here and really a change. the drivers down here are insane. they can never ever say that the utah drivers are bad -like they don't always follow traffic rules -- signs or stop signs are pretty much optional!
so my companion will be elder lopez and i am going to my first place to serve and it will be mazatlan - sweet huh? it's going to be way cool! just getting to know the language and do the best that i can do and just hang in there. it is way hot here like getting off the plane you could just feel the wetness in the air and it was like on your hands and everything. I sweat more in 15 sec then i have when running a mile.....but this is really weird typing on a mexican keyboard and the capitol button is different and so ya and its got the accent thing and all so it is really different.
i will email you like monday is the p day and so i will let you know how my new area is. i am good and healthy and am ready to get out there and start doing the lord’s work.....love you guys tons and tons and hope you are all doing good and work is fine....ask me any questions you want and i will answer them next week. love you and take care
love you tons
