Hey everyone! Wow, what a change!! It is so weird being in the outside world! It is crazy!! But Guadalajara isn't quite as insane as Mexico City. I am now in Ocotlan, Jalisco. My companion and I just got to our apartment this morning, and it is pretty nice. I didn’t get any pictures of that, but I will next week!!

It was so great to be able to call home at the airport! It was so awesome, even though I cried like a baby, it was great. I didn't have a whole ton of time though (April: 4 minutes actually). We got to the airport about an hour and a half before boarding, but it took forever to get to the gate. So my calling time was cut super short.

The CCM was great, and it really helped me prepared for this. Especially the language! It’s incredible! I can’t understand everything, but I can have basic conversation with about anyone. But the CCM was great to me. I'm going to miss my old district, but I'm sure I’ll have more than enough fun here!! 

My mission president is super cool! He's very nice, and loves to talk. Not quite as strict and demanding as I expected, but he's awesome! My companion is on his last three months of his mission, so as he helps me through my beginning, I help him through the end. hahaha! But he is so cool, and everyone says that he is one of the best missionaries here. He's like a celebrity with all the other missionaries, especially the Mission secretaries. Our apartment is definitely a fixer-upper, but it will be great! 

Oh man, how crazy overwhelming though! I’m actually out doing this... what in the world happened! So much has changed in just these last two days. It's crazy! But I know it will all be for the better. Oh and did I mention that Elder Taveras doesn't speak English? But that’s ok, he’s great, and has tons of patience for me. I'm stoked to be out here. Thanks for your prayers, and I'll give you a better description of things next week when I actually know what I'm doing. Haha, Love you all, have a great week!

My p-day will be on Mondays, But because my companion didn't have his yesterday because of travel, the Pres told us we could write home today.

Love,

Elder Kaden Quinn

These are the last Bingham kids I'll see for a while. The steak was finally broken after Elder Halls came. It was 11 weeks with a Bingham kid in the CCM. 

The next one is the two districts in my zone from the same generation (April: meaning, they came and are leaving at the same time).
