MOM....
Saturday
was my P-day this week because yesterday was "In-field Orientation",
which consisted of 13 hours of sitting in a room and learning about how
to work with church members in the field and how important it is to
teach lessons with members present. I haven't gotten a calling card yet,
but I will, and it should last for much longer than I'll probably have
to talk. I think I'll probably only be able to call from one airport,
and my companion and I are on splits because he needed a haircut, so I
can't ask him what time we'll probably call. I'll probably call during
my layover in Phoenix, and hopefully that will be in the morning but not
too early. We have to leave at about 5, so I figure that the call will
probably be somewhere between 8:00 and 10:00. I'll try the house first
and then the cell phone. I think that I should be okay in terms of
traveling there! I'm excited to get out in the field and work.
The
past couple weeks have just been crazy. I realize now that I should
have done so much more to prepare me for my mission. We're so blessed to
be members of the Church. I know that this church is true, and I love
having the constant companionship of the Spirit here. The MTC has been
awesome in terms of testimony building. I'm going to give the Lord 2
years of awesome service, and I know that a mission isn't even a
sacrifice because of the blessings He will pile on in return. It's
impossible to "get even" with the Lord because even if you try to, He
blesses you seventy times seven whatever you do.
Well, this email
is a little short because I have a little less time today than usual to
write emails. I should have more time in the field on P-days, and I'll
also hopefully a bunch of awesome stories to tell as well!
I sure miss you, mother! You were (and still are, ha ha) an awesome Mom. Thanks for getting me here. I love you.
