First day outside the MTC

Hey Mom and Everyone!

I am going to try and be shorter today, sorry, and I will do my best to email everyone!  The last few days in the CCM were pretty cool, I´ve felt pretty much every emotion about coming out into the field.  Excited, Happy, Motivated, Nervous, Uncertain; but the most overwhelming feeling I really feel is just peace and hope that everything will work out and I am where I am supposed to be.  Anyways, I am so ready for this, this will be such an adventure.  I got your last donuts mom, thanks you sooo so much.  I got all of yours and girls letters too, I got Grandpa and Grandmas, and all of Dad´s letters.  I guess the mail was just super backed up, so I got all the letters, even the ones Saturday, all Thursday.  I was really happy to hear from you all, and I can´t thank you all enough for all your support.  I love you all and can´t wait to share my experiences with you.  So last night we had to say bye to our district... It was actually really really sad since we got super close, we all cried, I led our district in a district chant and we have plans to meet back up again one day.  I will miss them a lot, and it was really fun spending a few more days in the CCM.  But when we met our mission President this morning, he came and picked us up, he was super excited and enthusiastic.  He gave me a big hug, and I almost started to cry because I could feel how much love he had for me already.  His wife is amazing too.  We just took a bus to our mission home, talked the whole way, and I am sooo pumped and ready to serve.  I am legit convinced already that this is the best Mission in the World already.  For some odd reason, facts like this is the poorest mission in Mexico City and we are going to eat some really gross food has made me even more excited, because of all the adventures and experiences I will have.  Not to mention I am going to work my butt off to bring everyone unto Christ, baptize, and serve.  I am ready to work hard, and this mission is one of the most productive in the world.  I have recieved soo many comments on how good my Spanish and how strong my testimony is which has given me confidence, but I am striving to be humble and I know these things are only possible through my Savior, Jesus Christ, and my Heavenly Father.  On Sunday we had one last fast and testimony meeting with everyone.  I shared my experience with the Book of Mormon, and definitely had the gift of tongues as I shared in Spanish.  So Monday´s will be our new P Days from now on, but next Monday is some weird creepy Holiday here in Mexico, and we have to stay in so I probably won´t email until Tuesday. Well, I am great guys, I love and miss you all.  I don´t meet my companion until tomorrow, but I love my mission President so much already, and the people in the mission are way cool.  I took a million pictures this week haha so I will try to send as many home as I have time for and then hopefully use wifi to send the rest home.  Anyways, if you want to mail stuff, you can send it to my mission home (The address is posted at the top of the blog).  I am finally ready to get to work, and I am so excited. I hope Spanish picks up fast!  Talk to you guys next week, Adios!!!
