OFF TO MEXICO -- THE AIRPORT

We left for the Salt Lake Airport  at about 6:00 in the morning.  We met Elder Adam Curletti there with his family.  I had never met Elder Curletti, but we both knew Karen Payne, my former next door neighbor who I used to practically live at her house.  Karen gave our moms each others' numbers.

We took a few pictures, said our last goodbyes, and then our mothers walked with us up to security. I saw Elder Cooper Ballsteadt, Sam Ellis' cousin in the line.  I also saw Wendy McGregor who was off to Los Angeles.  I made it to Mexico City MTC okay.  

First email home:  The flight was way long but everyone has been super nice to me today and I am starting to make new friends.  Mexico City is such a cool place and I love looking at all of the buildings because it has a bunch of buildings up on the mountain almost like favelas.  Today has been really hard but I am making it through fine.  I just have to go day by day.  I was lucky because I got to sit by Elder Curletti on the way here on both flights so I always had someone to talk to.  I am just starting so everything is still weird but things will be okay.  I haven't gone to my room yet so I don't know who is all in it but I am hoping for the best.  I miss you all and I can't wait to hear from you.  Love you so much.

The next morning at 7:30 a.m... I felt that yesterday was the hardest day of my life.  But now I have a companion and things are getting better. My p-days are on Thursdays so I don't know if I will be able to email again until a week from tomorrow.  Keep me in your prayers.  Love you and I will keep pushing forward.
