First Day in Mexico

On Thursday, we woke up at about 5:30am (Not by choice, but by jet lag!) We then met with Jonathan Morton and Christian Mackinnon (HR Director) about our first weeks in Mexico. For the first few months we will concentrate on bedding into our new church, Santa Monica, and getting the language. I don't think we realised how limited we really are without the language, we weren't even able to order a coffee at our meeting. Slowly but surely! In the afternoon we went with Christian's wife Robin (Get used to the names, they'll be used alot!) The Mackinnon's have been in Mexico for 2 years, and live about 2 minutes from our house. They have 4 kids, Maddy, Josh, Ethan, and Amelia, all of which we have great fun with! Robin took us to get a bed, a table, and a washer - it was all great fun. We then had the team meeting with all the missionaries and the Armagh team. The team led worship, and then we had some time going through a lot of team business. Afterwards, Kay Lindsay (Leroy & Kay are the directors of the Seminary) made muffins and party stuff for Julie & I coming. We felt so encouraged at everyone's welcome. We also saw Gary, and it was so good to catch up with him after missing him for nearly 5 months!
