The mission has been very good so far! I love it here! It's kinda like Maryland weather-wise right now, so it's a little wet and a
little cool, but not as humid. It must have been dry all summer, though, because everyone's lawns are gone!
When I first arrived, I got to
meet my mission president, and I like him a lot. He is really loving, which
is good! But other than that, it was all instructional, and that was
boring, but my first night here we stayed in a hotel, which was nice of them, and
they did a lot to welcome all of the new people.
The next night was
when my mission really started! It was interesting: our lesson canceled
but we had dinner with a member who took us to a sushi restaurant. I had decided that I will never say "no" on my mission to food, so when the
member asked if I was ok with sushi, I said "yes"! So, I ate some and it
was ok. I had like 5 or 6 roles, so I think I did well, and who knows, maybe
I'll like it one day! But it made for an interesting first night. That
was also the first night with my trainer, too, and I like him a lot. He has
been on his mission for 6 months and is from Rexburg. His name is Elder Denney (yes,
with two e's). He is a good trainer.
The next day was Thanksgiving! It
was great! Our zone did a service project at an older lady's house for a
few hours and then ward ultimate frisbee, which was a really fun way too meet
some new members! Then that night we had Thanksgiving dinner twice!
Once at the bishop's and once at a member of the ward council's house. That was good and filling, and yes I ate my vegetables!
After that it was
a lot more mission-like. We met some investigators had some lessons and
even met four investigators. It's been a great week!
I'm on a bike! I got a loner from the mission that I get to use for my
whole mission. Most times the bikes are pretty bad bikes, but mine is
really nice!
But I like biking a lot. It's really fun!
