First Day - He made it to Mexico!

Hello!
Well, I made it to the CCM. i´M attempting to write on a spanish keyboard, this might be a little bit choppy for a little while.  The Flight was good!  From SLC I flew with three other elders and five sisters. Once we got to Dallas we picked up a few more Elders and Sisters, by the time we got to Mexico I think there were fifteen or sixteen of us new arrivals.  While we were boarding our plane in Dallas an Elder named Elder Fakahafua (Samoan) went and asked the lady at the gate what boarding party was entering the gate and she replied "yours is" we asked if she was sure, because our boarding party all day has been group 3. She then immediately went to her microphone and said "group three now boarding" and then asked to see our tickets.  She took our tickets and then printed all the Elders new tickets with lots of leg room. It was awesome! not too sure why she did all that though, I´m just going to simply take it as a tender mercy on our first day out.
Mexico is crazy by the way! the lanes are tiny and traffic laws are left to interpenetration. and the houses and the shops and the everything! It{s a whole new culture.  A little too chaotic for my taste, I suppose I`ll get used to it.  CCM is beautiful! It{s like an oasis away from the city. I havent explored yet but Im sure Im gonna love this place a ton.
OH and Elder Fakahafua is my companion now!  Most of the people just called him Elder F, I called him Elder Smooth after he got us that leg room, but I suppose I should probably learn to pronounce his name now.
My P day is on Thursday, Im not totally sure if itll be that way throughout my mission, I guess we´ll see as I get used to the way things go down around here.  Youll hear from my next thursday or tomorrow, not totally sure yet.
I love you all!
