Hermana Davis Ventura California Mission: My First PDay in Mexico CityMy di

Ola, I'm in Mexico. I met Elder Barker at the Pheonix airport, and we were glad that we flew together. They forgot us at the airport so we had to hang out for about 2 hours until my mom called and got someone to come. It was a little scary. He is from Hurricane. We also flew with the Arizona Diamondback players. On the plane everyone gave Elder Barker free food and stuff because he was a missionary. They didn't realize I was. Not used to Hermanas, I guess. The first night was rough, but now were all having a really good time. I love you much!!!!!! Mexico City is crazy, but its super fun. Its exactly like in the movies. All of the hills around us are filled with houses. It was pretty different when we were driving here from the airport. It is a scary city. The Latinos always say Corona viruuuussss if we use Siracha, because it has Chinese letters on it. They are hilarious. They are only here for 3 weeks because they already speak the language. They try to get us to shake their hands and then say Corona Virus. No one is allowed to shake hands here because of it. To get in and out of the CCM you have to go through a ton of security all of the time. so it keeps us really safe so that is great. They check all of the IDs, under the car, and everything. I cant sleep though because of the dogs barking and the sirens. There are a ton of parrots here, and they are really loud too. The first night I thought I was going to die lol. It is super hot and humid. I've never lived in humidity so that has been different. they say I have the best Spanish accent so that good. now its just memorizing vocab. We have a red bible. It has all of the Spanish words in it that we need. Everyone here only speaks Spanish so we use it a lot and a lot of times we just don't talk. They always say "speak the language" :). I have to memorize the first vision in Spanish. We cant drink any of the water. So, there are water dispensers in every corner and we fill up our water bottles. I am glad I am not using my contacts at the MTC. The white dots we have on our name tag are hilarious they always say bien Venitos we hate it. the CCM is the safest place to be in Mexico City. It feels like an abandoned city. There are roads, houses, and buildings, but no cars and very little people in the training center. Our apartments are crazy lol, but its fun. There are usually 2000 missionaries here, but there are only 500 right now. Our district is the first time there have been more Hermanas than elders. So, that is cool. At least the first week is over. I have my testimony memorized in Spanish for the fast and testimony meeting. I have already filled up 1/2 of a journal. So, i am glad that I brought 4 of them. I love all of my district. Most of them are from Utah. My pday will be on Wednesdays for the rest of my time in Mexico.
Adios,
Hermana Davis
