Elder Justyn Pollock

3/14/2013 ¡Hola! They are giving us a little time today to email you and let you know that we got here safely. I got here safely, but had some difficulties when I arrived. I thought some people at the airport atleast would speak English, but I was wrong. I didn´t end up meeting with other elders, so I was alone when I arrived. I exited the airport to a giant crowd of taxi drivers wanting me to take their taxi to their hotel, but I couldn´t find the MTC driver! I walked around trying to find a way to call him (I had the phone number) for about 15 minutes. I could not get coins for the telephone! Nobody would give me change in coins, and they ALL couldn´t speak English! I was just barely able to communicate with anyone. It was a pretty scary 20 minutes, but finally someone approached me who knew English well. They helped me to find someone with a cellphone, and call the person who told me just to wait right there and I would be found. I tipped that person well because I don´t know what I would have done without her help. When the MTC driver arrived I was skeptical of everyone at that point (people kept approaching me talking in spanish)and tried to make sure they weren´t going to kidnap me haha. I finally did get to the MTC (CCM here). I have to go so I´ll tell you more on Monday! I am not in dire need of anything at the moment so don´t worry about me! I hope all is well at home. Love, Elder Pollock P.S. I totaled over 5000 miles of travel in one day yesterday. Crazy.
