1st day in Guadalajara
Hi everyone!
I made it into Guadalajara last night around 11, It was cool to see the
city at night. My P days are on Mondays, but they are letting me write
today because it is my first day. It was good to get to sleep last
night, but I only got like 4 hours, I had to wake up at normal time, and
I got to the apartment sometime around 1. Today we had our
introduction to the mission, and we had our first meal at a members
house. It was good! We had pasta, rice, and some type of cow meat.
I´m actually not sure about the cow meat, I asked my companion and he
said that it was cow, he just wasn´t sure what part. Oh ya, my new
companion is a native speaker, he is from Wahaka which is a town in
Mexico. He talks very fast, and I have a hard time understanding him
sometimes, or when he uses words that I don´t know. So far spanish is
alright, I can get the gist of what people are trying to say, but it is
good. He is a great guy, his name is Elder Rodriguez, and we will get
along just fine. Mexico is very different, there are a lot of stray
dogs, but it is quite pretty, I will send pictures of the apartment and
everything in my next email. I got sent to an area called Tlaquepaque,
and this is just outside the main city, and is only about an hour away
from the mission home, When we were walking over to our meal with a
member, it started to rain, and it turned into a small typhoon! When we
got to the members house, we were soaking, but I am dry now, these
clothes dry pretty fast, thank goodness. We also have an investigator
with a baptismal date for this Saturday! I had nothing do do with it,
but I am excited to see it. They try to get at least 1 baptism per
week, so I am excited! So far everything here is good! I will write
more next week!
