Arrival in Torreon

Hello everyone! 

I hope you all are doing great! These past two days have been a bit shocking for me ha. The 13 of us made it to Torreón yesterday at 8 in the morning. Presidente Reyes met us outside the airport, hes very nice and told me to say hi to all of you. He doesn't speak any English, just like my comp. My companion is Elder Fuentes. He is 24 years old and is from yucatan right by Cancun. Sense he doesn't speak any english, I guess that means ill have to learn quickly ha. After that we just had meeting with the APs and the president all day. I guess next Weds. all of the missionaries here in Torreón are going to go sing christmas songs in the city square or something like that? so last night we all go together and practiced the songs we will be singing. I love singing in spanish, ( even though i have no idea what i'm saying most of the time ). Yesterday was some huge holiday here in Mexico, something to do with the Virgin Mary, so it was just pure chaos in the streets. For that reason we had to be back to our house at 7. The ride to my house will be one I will never forget. In one small car they crammed 8 missionaries into the back seat. So there I was, first day in Torreón, running off 0 sleep for 40 hours, crammed into a car with 7 other latinos that don't speak English, flying through the streets of Torreón with dancers and fireworks all around me. It was a crazy night. Then to top it off, we had 2 extra missionaries with us for the night, so i had to share my small  twin bed with Elder Trejo. Its been an eventful day and a half. Tonight we have five teaching appointments! I'm a little nervous considering how much spanish i know currently. Pray for me ha. Life good. Couldn't have asked for a better trainer. I love you all sooo much. have a great week this week, and ill be on again next Monday. 

Con amor

Elder Richardson.
