From Monterrey

April 14, 2009

hey,
Well I made it ! ha it has been a long couple of days, but they have been good! I found out where I am going to go for my first area last night, I´m going to a place called Hermoso and it is up in the northeast corner of mexico. I guess it is about 5 hours from here ? ha so i have a long ride ahead of me. My companion is mexican, so that is good ha and he speaks a little english so that is good too. I have no idea what it is going to be like up there, but i am way excited to get started. Ha it is way hard to understand what people are saying down here, because they talk so fast ! But i can pick out a few things that they are saying. So anyway they have a mail system here that works the best and they said to use it for packages and everything, because it is quicker and safer. You send the mail to McAllen Texas and the President goes and picks it up every so often. So this way ot will be safer and we want have to pay for foreign stamps . I will write the address for you guys and you can tell everyone else about it. Lets see what else, ha it is way hot down here ! We were wearing our suits yesterday and it was way hot in them, but today it has been a lot better because we didn´t have to wear our suits. My p days are going to be on mondays, so thats when i will be writing emails. I guess you got the money put on my debit card ? I guess i will be able to let you know what my area is like in my next email ! ha it will probably be nothing like it is here in the city. It is crazy here and way cool. There are a ton of mountains around the whole city, so that is cool . I think that someone is supposed to be calling you guys to tell you that we made it okay ? Or maybe they already have ? idk anyway i got to go but I'm doing good ! love ya bye ! Dallas
