Welcome to the New Mexico Albuquerque Mission

This week has been nothing but crazy. This week started off at 2 am on Monday morning. We had to be to the mexico airport at about 4:30 on Monday. So that's what we did. We were there. and streets in mexico are much better at 4 in the morning. We had two layovers and three flights. We flew from mexico to Dallas. and from Dallas to phoenix, then phoenix to Albuquerque. Don't ask me why, I am just thankful for the flight. We had a 3 hour layover at Dallas and we were getting ready to board and then they told us there was something wrong with the plane and so we waited a couple more hours for a plane. Because this happened we missed our flight to Albuquerque and so we got rescheduled for the 11 pm flight. ugh that's so late. We got to phoenix and ate american food finally. haha but tender mercies all four of us ended up on the 8 flight to Albuquerque because people didn't check in. and so we got there at 9:30 instead of past midnight. blessings. 

We got into New Mexico and the first couple nights we lived out of suitcases in different apartments and so it was hard. The first couple days we spent a lot of it in the mission home with meeting and stuff like that. Thursday is when transfers were and so that is when I figured out where I was going and who my companion is. I am in El Paso and my companion is Elder Palmer. He is from Alaska and is a bunch of fun! We are over a whole ward that before was run by two pairs of missionaries and so we are staying very busy. Our zone actually dissolved if that makes sense and so we got thrown in with another zone and so now instead of two zones in El Paso there is only one. So that is why we have so much. But we have found 6 new people this week and have 4 people on date for baptism. and then of course are teaching many more people but there is that. 

People here are very nice to Spanish missionaries. We get fed well and everyone is just nice. It is hard to understand people right now and talk to people but everyone is so nice and just helps us out a bunch. I'm very excited and know that this is where I need to be. I am still learning names and faces to everyone here and so it is hard for me to tell much about anyone because first off they are all new names but they are Spanish names and so its very hard right now, but hopefully all of that changes very quickly. 

I am loving it a bunch here!! thank you for all of the love and support. I love you all so much!!
