Friday
Well, another week has come and gone! Crazy. It's amazing how fast time goes! The days truly do feel like weeks, and the weeks pass like days. Well, next Friday I should get my flight plans! Woohoo! I'll be sure to let you all know, so you can know when to expect the phone call. Also, on that note, I'll probably need the calling card information.
Yeah, I did run into one of my former high school teachers. I was quite surprised! She offered to drop stuff off at home if I need anything left behind. I may have her drop off some of the older letters, not sure yet.
I haven't gotten the family picture as of yet, however, I'm hoping to get that in the mail later this afternoon (I assume that it will be in it).
Monday I spent the day in bed with a pretty bad cold. I made it downstairs twice during the day so that Elder Utley could get food from the vending machine. As of now, I still am feeling a little sluggish, but with time that will pass.
On Tuesday, we got to hear from Elder Richard G. Scott. After his talk, we had the opportunity to shake his hand. How incredible is it that we have a prophet and apostles on the earth today! It was quite the experience for me.
This last week I had another good experience in the
I appreciate the prayers for me. They've definitely been a strength to me, and it's something I always look forward to.
The work is hard, but will go on. I have grown so much even in the short time that I've been out thus far. I'm definitely looking forward to getting out into the field!
I've been keeping busy here. It will be nice not to be sitting in the classroom for hours on end, but at this point, it's still necessary for my learning. I have had some really good times with my studying. I've learned so much from my study times. I can't believe how well I know the language! Obviously there's a lot of room for improvement, but it's coming along pretty well.
Well, in our zone, we are now the second oldest district. The one that is in front of us leaves the week before we do. There are 3 zones younger than us (as of Wednesday). I feel like it was so long ago that we were the new ones, but how quickly time goes.
I've been playing a lot of volleyball this last week. That is always fun. I've realized that I don't think I've felt this good in my life. Obviously it's hard, but it's amazing being in "the service of your fellow beings." God is watching out for me. I am grateful for all the love and support.
Well, my time is about up on the computer. I love you all, and thank you so much for your support and letters!
Love, Elder Meservy
