This first week started off super slow but by the end its been going by really fast!
I'm loving my time here! My whole zone is from Utah, and now I see what people mean when they talk about Utah Mormons being a bit different. Their standards and way of life are a bit different than of those from the east coast. They are still really fun and awesome though! My whole district has become good friends and we have a blast together in class.
The food here is almost identical to what they serve at BYU, so it's pretty good. Meaning I have to work at not eating dessert with every meal! I'm doing pretty good at it though. The Spirit here is amazing and I can feel myself growing so much! I feel like a totally different person than I was last week. And I know by tuesday when I leave I'll be that much more than I am now.
People here constantly talk about how hard it is and how much they miss their family and how they all thought at one time about going home, but I have never felt that way. Yes, it was exhausting the first few days, but it was also so much fun! I never thought it was hard, just tiring. But it was so worth it, I didn't want to change anything. Why would anyone want to leave this amazing Spirit? I'm having a blast!
I do admit though that I was a bit sad today. I opened up my mailbox, and the only thing in it was a letter from Rachael from California. I miss you guys! Email me! Mom, I know you just missed me, but I wouldn't mind emails from the girls too. Oh, and can you send Nuna and Papa, Andrew, and Kevin's emails? Oh, and Grandma's too? That would be fantastic.
I love you so much!
