Next stop...MEXICO!

Hey there mom! your welcome! y muchos gracias mi madre! Welp! im glad im not discouraged tambien, besides, i should be leaving for mexico monday anyways! Yay! yep, on wednesday i was walking to another meeting like any other day when an excited elder jumped out of a building......the door that is...... and asked me if i had heard yet.... now let me preface this tale with a......preface.. there are intercoms in all the buildings through which several times a day you will hear a loud beep and have someone say something like...." excuse me, is anybody there? im looking for an elder ...... we need him to come to the travel office immediately" and then everyone gets excited or upset (if it isn't them, which it normally isn't) and the lucky elder is off to get his visa......entonces (so) these depressing occurences have be occuring to us for the last 3 weeks, where we honestly jump out of our seats and race to the door only to turn back muttering threats for that lucky elder, be depressed for 1 minute and then return to our work. but i guess my name was called when i was outside, so i did a heel clicker in celebration and headed off with one other elder going to the same mission. So yesterday ten of us mexican bound missionaries boarded a van to Salt Lake City and the infamous Mexican consulate. they took some pictures of us, had us print our fingerprints, told us we're probably leaving monday, and sent us back to the good ol MTC.. So! here we go huh? Sad note, my two companions didn't get called, but i would give them two weeks, so all is well.. other than that, its not life as usual (as life usually is and as life usually is in the mtc) because all of the new mission presidents are here being trained by the general authorities, so that is pretty cool. and tonight and sunday we have special devotionals which im sure will be amazing experiences.. but, ill tell yall more when i know more! i love you! hope all is still well! thanks! adios!
