The First Days in Mexico

Our first few days in Mexico were soooooo busy! We arrived in Mexico City (MC) and sat in traffic for about 2 hours and then finally made it to the guest house where we were staying. We unloaded our bags and then I (Gabrielle) couldn't decide if I was more hungry or tired. So I figured I would feel better after we ate. So we chose to go to Chili's! It was the best meal we have had in a long time. It was so good and tasted just like the states. After we ate I regained enough energy to attend a birthday party that night for another missionary family with another association. The girls had a really good time and we were able to have some cake and ice cream. The next morning was when we were scheduled to go to the immigration office to have our FM3s checked. We were so blessed to have a lawyer with us to guide our every step. Otherwise we would've been lost! That night we took it easy and rested a bit. The next morning we left at 5:15am to drive the hour and a half to Puebla from Mexico City. It was dark most of the way but by the time we made it to Puebla we were greeted with snow capped volcanos. Sorry I couldn't get any pics for you, but it was really pretty. We arrived in Puebla around 7:30am and later in the day looked at our first house which is the one we are currently trying to get a contract on as I type. Pics to come later! Below are our pics from Mexico City and a few from the city of Puebla. Next blog will be Happy Birthday to Evie! Have a great weekend!

Oh Gabrielle these are great pictures! I can't wait to get there! It seems like forever until we actually arrive in Mexico. Praying you find a home soon.
