¡Hola!
I'm here in Mexico safely. Having fun doing the work.
After we got off the plane we got picked up and went to the President's house and had dinner and interviews. They are really nice and funny. we stayed the night there. After breakfast we had training until 12. We went to a restaurant and i had my first real Mexican tacos. They were good and I did not get sick from those (or from others yet, knock on wood). After we had our changes meeting my companion is Elder Medina.
He is from Mexico city his family is not to far from the temple. He is 18 and about my height. I think that the mission president will be or has sent an email with a photo of me and my new companion.
After the meeting we went to our apartment and dropped off my bags and went out to work. Our area is in the city "Reforma" is the name. We have two wards: Reforma and La Perla. Our apartment is small but nice.
We have just been working the rest of the days. We have had appointment but people have not been there. We have a few that we have taught. It's hard not being able to help that much but I do put some words in. We did not have a baptism yesterday but there hopefully should be one this week and I might get to do it
My ankle and finger are good. I have some blisters from walking and other pains for walking all day but hopefully with time I will get used to them.
The Spanish is coming along. It's hard to understand other thing that aren't the gospel but with time.
Ester week is a big thing down here. Sunday I got to introduce myself in both wards so that was fun. So 6 hrs of church
Thanks for Everything and for all the love and prayer. Tell everyone hi for me:
Con amor,
Elder Templin
