First Day in Mexico

 Alexys was put right to work and didn't have a lot of time to email. Her P-day will be on Mondays so our first real mission field letter will not be till next week. Here is a little of what she was able to write today. She is having some culture shock I think.

Hola! Im here in Oaxaca! I have my new companion and I'm in my área. I'm safe, I don't know Spanish and my mouth is on fire and Im just sweating, but its okay! I'll figure it out! I'm in an área on a hill so I'll be getting my exercise. I'm close to the misión home and i will get to go to the temple sometimes... its definitely a culture shock. but my comp is from California and she can speak english. I'm sad to have left my ccm hermanas. my pday is on Monday! so I'll talk to you again then.
I love you more than ever, Hna Womack

A second Email

I got to Oaxaca really late last night and I am exhausted. but I actually start missionary work today. how loco is that? I can't wait to fall asleep tonight.
It's hot here.... it's really hot. I'm just sweating... haha I'm going to look like an angel these next 16 1/2 months... haha. Hermana Bowman and I placed our first book of mormon on the flight and we taught a lesson and committed him to read the Book of Mormon and pray- he said that he would and we're going to keep in contact with him. He was a life saver in customs last night too.
My first food down here was a hamburger. it was the best hamburger I have ever eaten. we ate that at about midnight and then we didn't get to bed until probably 2. That was a party.... let me tell you. I really miss ice already. and flushing toilets. haha oh well! let my adventure begin!
wish me luck! I'm praying for you!
I love you so much

What a crazy experience she is starting today. =) Pray for her to adjust to her mission. She needs them. -Debi
