Since I got here everyone has told me, "Just make it til Sunday and you'll be fine." Well, I've made past Sunday so hopefully what everyone says it true!
Sunday was actually the best day I've had here by far! Although I did miss my afternoon nap the spiritual high that I felt definitely made up for it. We spent most of the day just studying the scriptures and Preach My Gospel, aside from that we had church and a amazing fireside! The speaker was Stephen B Allen. He gave an awesome talk and the spirit was so strong!! Especially at the end when we sang "Come, Come Ye Saints." It was awesome to see all of the missionaries there. They said that right now we are the biggest group of missionaries that's ever been here. When Brother Allen got up to speak he told us we could take off our suit coats (we have to wear them to all devotionals). It was amazing how much lighter the room got because of all the white shirts.
The language is...well its coming. Sometimes I get frustrated because I don't know what my teachers or the elders around me are saying, but then I just have to remind myself that I've only been here a few days that it'll come eventually.
Since I've been here I've seen Colton, Dalton Smith, Steve Heath, Dallen Reber, Jared Sullivan, Mike Anderson and Brody Faucett. It always makes it nice when you see people you know.
I'm so excited to see Chase in a few days!! 4 years is a long time to not see him so I'm glad I get to see him for a bit.
I'm so grateful for the opportunity I have to do this! It has already changed my life.
Thanks for all your support!!
