Alrighty then, as you can tell from my subject line, I am getting pretty dang excited to get out there. I am still a little bit nervous about the whole speaking a different language thing, but it's all good. I do get to call from the airport, so that's cool. I don't know exactly what time I will be calling, but I have to be to the travel office at 6 am, and our plane doesn't leave until 10 so anytime between then I will be calling. I don't remember if I told you already or not, but we got our flight plans last week and I am flying alone! oh yeah. I get the whole plane to myself to share the Gospel with everyone. And that also means that I will have about 6 -7 total hours out of the next two years that I don't have a companion. I can't decide if that's good or bad. haha.
Well, about the last week - before I forget, I need about $130 sent to me in cash because I don't have anymore and I couldn't get any from the ATM. Before friday would be great cause I need to do dry cleaning, but I don't have any money because they don't accept debit cards. Alright. Well, this last week has been pretty darn good. Just like all the other weeks here. This last sunday, for our fireside, the BYU men's chorus came and did a concert for us. It was so good! It was especially nice to just be able to sit and listen to music. haha. The language is coming along pretty great. I am excited to get to Boston and see how much I really know, rather than how much I think I know. haha. In the TRC this last saturday, we taught a college student the first lesson. She was supposed to be roleplaying like a new member, but, as typical with all the volunteers in the TRC, they never follow the situation, so she was answering all of our questions normally. I decided that was a really good thing, because it felt like a real lesson. I realized that since she was answering as herself, we could probably help her testimony and faith grow for real, rather than just role play it. It was really cool. plus, when we started, she volunteered to say the prayer, and it was the FASTEST prayer I have ever heard. I thought our teachers prayed fast, but hers was ridiculous. I am hoping that's not how they talk when they are talking to each other, because if it is, I am in trouble. haha. It was sweet though.
haha. Kadin- that is too funny. Sorry little bro, but as one who went through pain and misery, I know how you feel. The first few weeks here were a bit hard trying to write with my retarded finger. It's so annoying even still, because, even though it is healed up, I have to use lotion so it stays hydrated and doesn't crack open again, and I hate lotion. it makes my hands feel all greasy. ugh. But anyway that's pretty funny - now you can say that you beat me to it in breaking a bone. haha. Sorry for laughing but it is funny.
When mom said that Dad and Kurtis enjoyed the hike to Angel's Landing, is that the one in Zion's that is really tall and you have to use chains and stuff to get up there? If it is, then sweet. that's cool. But I'm not jealous because I'm on a mission. haha. Just like when Dave and Nate try to make me feel jealous that they went to the Muse concert last monday, and then I say that I'm on my mission, and then they can't argue with that. haha. Just kidding. I know Nate reads these so haha for him. Well, I need to email Justin still so I am going to stop writing now. I will get to email once more before I go to Boston, so be looking forward to that. haha. Alright. Love you! have a good week.
