 I Haven’t Emailed Since Last Year

Anyway! 

We're at a bowling alley right now, it's my companion and another missionary’s bday today. It's weird how all these people are younger than Kenedy. For his birthday we got to leave our area and go to Walmart!! That's how exciting missionary life is. Jk [just kidding] it's actually awesome but in other ways. I bought a lil strap bag to carry my things, which I learned in mission lingo is called a pros bag.

I've mentioned them before, but some of my fav people we’re meeting right now is a single mother and her 8-year-old daughter, she’s so cute. The mom is on disability so she's not bringing in a lot of money, so we brought them a couple fun stuff like decor and Martinelli’s for New Years, and it was fun. Their neighbor who is also a member brought them groceries, it was sweet.

I gave a talk in Sacrament, and I was SO NERVOUS, like irrationally so, but I didn't embarrass myself too much. It was lowkey clutch because people said, “good talk” or “thanks for the talk,” and it was a good opportunity to meet new people 

Hmm what else

I swear my memory is as bad as my dad's hahaha, sorry dad. 

OH it was like warm and sunny this week. The snow is melting, and it makes me so happy. I can finally see the grass and MT Is beautiful. 

New Years was fun, we just stayed in.

I guess that's it. The week does fly by. I get why people say the mission goes fast. I’m not gonna lie, I’m still more excited to come home than I am to stay for two years, but I'm getting the hang of things. But I'm excited for the version of myself that will be back after all of this. So I have to stay.

I get to

I'm trying to think more outwardly and selflessly, but dang it it's hard haha 

It'll come with time. 

Oh we went Frisbee golfing last week. It was so fun, my district is the best  AND we had cake for the bdays.
