Arrival to Mexico City and the CCM (Mexico Training Center)
Hello friends and
family!!! Oh my gosh I don’t even know where to begin these last 9 days have
been crazy! So when I got to my terminal and was alone I sat down and looked
around and saw some other missionaries sitting there too! I was so excited
because I wasn’t alone after all! (I apologize for the grammar and spelling but
these are Spanish computers and keyboards and it’s kinda hard to use) Anyway we
all talked for a bit then boarded the plane. That plane ride was only about 3
1/2 hours but it felt like foreeeeveeer. The plane was small and felt really
rickety and I think being nervous made it feel longer I don’t know. When we
landed it was pouring rain and we had to go through customs, get our bags
checked, stuff like that. I had to sign more visa stuff when we got to the van
that picked us up. There were about 5 other missionaries on the van with us so
we had 12 total. the drive to the ccm was INSANE. Mexican roads are so hectic
and stressful I don’t know how we we didn’t see, cause, or be in an accident in
the 30 minutes it took to get there. so we finally get to the ccm, we unloaded
our stuff, went in and got our badges and packets with our schedule for the
next six weeks and other papers. after we did some orientation we had dinner
and went straight to a devotional. Every Tuesday we have a devotional, either a broadcast from Provo or an area authority speaks. Last Tuesday David A Bednar
spoke and it was fantastic! He spoke about enduring to the end and how God and Jesus
Christ know us each individually. We then went home to unpack and sleep
