I made it to Hermosillo yesterday and I´m already loving it. Although I feel like i´m dying in the 80º weather (this is winter) I might actually die in a few months when it starts to be 120º regularly. I started sweating about 15 minutes after we landed in Hermosillo and probably wont ever stop.
Love and miss you all!

I was also surprised to find out President Hernandez doesn´t speak any english so our interview was...fun. And then I got my training companion Elder Cornejo who is from Ecuador and also speaks no english- so about 3 hours after getting to Hermosillo I was on a bus to Guaymas without really knowing what was going on. My Spanish actually isn´t that bad and it´s getting better all the time because I dont have anybody to speak English and Elder Cornejo is very patient with me and an awesome missionary. He only has three months left before he is done so i´ll be his last companion. He just got done serving as AP and everybody tells me I have the best papá and I can already see why!
We´re opening a new area in Guaymas so we don´t really know anything about the area or have any investigators but ater today were going to meet with some members of the ward here and then see if we can find some people to teach. So far i´ve been told our mission is the 3rd hottest in the world but it also has the best carne in the world so those cancel out right? I actually had a quesaburra last night which is just a huge delicious burrito with tons of meat- that was only after I passed up some tacos de ojo though so we´ll see if the food is always that good hahaha we live in a little old apartment in the middle of the city and we´re surrounded by these big mountains- it´s super pretty here!
It was a little hard to fall asleep last night with the heat and all the city noise (tons of police sirens) but thankfully I was super tired from traveling all day and Im sure I´ll be pretty tired everyday so that´s all okay! This morning we went grocery shopping and I started talking to this 3 or 4 year old girl and she gave me some candy- she was the cutest!!- so im going to start keeping all my dulces in my backpack for the ninos!
The mail here is slow but if you want to send me something you can send it to the mission office in Hermosillo and we get that mail once a month- they say Dear Elder works the best but the mail usually work it is just slow. Or you can just email me! This is all pretty crazy but I love it. Im ready to show my faith in Jesucristo and go to work!
