Why does EVERYBODY have to speak Spanish??

Honestly - why does everyone have to speak spanish all the time???  I know there are a lot of people that Habla english!   I think they are doing it just to bug me!!!  Well, it's working!  I haven't really written about this week, mostly because I don't have Internet use for most of the day!  So here goes!
Monday - Nov 24th - our first real day in the mission.  We got up early - (of course we got up early, living with Greg and all)  and headed over to the mission offices and the area church offices.  We walked into the mission office of which we live - Mexico City West.  There were Elders and Sisters everywhere!  Actually, they were trying to call us because 2 Sisters were there looking for the doctor. We hadn't even met with Dr. Ruiz yet.  Oh well, we took them in a room and talked to them.  One Sister had her foot all wrapped up.  She stated it had been hurting for days.  She was walking on her toes everywhere she went.  We unwrapped it and Greg pulled and pushed to try and find out where it hurt!  She didn't really know!  So Greg asked her to stand up and walk on it - which she did and voila!  no more pain!  So the first patient we saw we cured instantly!  How's that for medical service!
We walked up the hill to our office which is a good 1/2 mile away and met with Dr. Ruiz.  He couldn't have been happier to see us coming.  He already had our names on the door of the office and our pics up on his big medical board!  He gave Greg tons of info about tons of stuff - in SPANISH of course!  Him and his wife then took us on a drive to a hospital and clinic!  We could never find it again if we had too.  The Dr. was very nice - not a member - but took care of the missionaries.  We saw an Elder that had pneumonia and an Elder that probably had a bulging disk from playing soccer in the MTC.  We ended up sending that Elder home to get his back fixed!  Dr. Ruiz then drove us around the city a little.  This really is one big city!  I don't even want to talk about the traffic!  We were really tired by the time we got back to the office.  We walked home and ate our first meal of chopped up steak, green peppers and onions on a tortilla.  The salsa we bought was way to spicy so I had ketchup on my tacos!  The group that lives here in the hotel - couples in the office, area Executive, history people - all had FHE.  The lesson was on the Wizard of Oz.  I think because that was what the pics were of - of course the lesson was given in SPANISH!  and this day is done!
I do need to take more pics which I will do today!
Mexican moment #3  There is a street that we use to come home from the office  and you drive on the wrong side of the street for a block!  Only street in Mexico like that!
Hasta Luego!
Some pics!

Here is what is on the door to our office!

Dad trying to figure out which way is up!
Those are all of our missions behind him!
Wahoo!

Big front door to our office!
The key to the door is 3 1/2 inches long!
It only took dad 1 minute and 33 seconds
to get the door unlocked the first time.
He is down to 28 secs now!

This is a big board with all the Dr's that are suppose
to be helping with the different missions!
Some scary and some crazy Dr's we are finding out!
