Arrived in Mexico

Well I made it to the MTC or CCM as they call it here. We had a nice drive, and by nice I mean slow and hot, through the city from the airport. I think Mexico City can be summed up in three words: huge, dirty, crowded. Someone tell Dallin and Ben that it fi's dirt. From what I saw of New York and what I've seen of Mexico City, New York has nothing on Mexico City when it comes to size and filth. My friend that I sat by on the plane Elder Thorpe (I'm pretty sure he'll be my companion because he is in my room) and I gave out a Book of Mormon on the way to Dallas to a guy named Frank from Raleigh, North Carolina. Mom, Elder Thorpe is the one we saw at the airport that you said I should have asked him his name so if I talked about him you would know who he was. Anyways that was pretty cool. I just barely got my name tag so I guess its official. It feels pretty good to have it on. Before we didn't really know what to call each other.

             We just had a dinner of pizza, juice and some fruit with flan for desert. There was one red fruit, I don't know what it was, but it tasted strongly of baby diarrhea, so that was nice. It's actually is quite cool here and it doesn't seem too humid. Also the spray paint industry here is striving, I have no doubt. It is so crowded. I'm looking out the window right now at the houses that are just stacked on top of each other on the side of the hill. Obviously, the CCM presents a stark contrast to the rest of the city because the grass is nice and trimmed and it's really clean. It's far bigger than I thought. There are a lot of soccer fields and basketball courts and I've haven't even seen all of it yet. Anyways it's pretty exciting. There are a bunch of Elders going to the same mission I am and they are in the same boat as me. Their missionary portals all say Santa Ana but they don't know about San Salvador West/Belize.  There aren't very many missionaries here right now. It's pretty empty. I haven't seen Tanner yet but I'm sure I will. That's pretty much it for me, just a lot of sitting today. I will have more great experiences for next time and my letter will be more exciting and I'll think of some funny jokes or something.

I love you all and thanks for reading.
