Life is good here, Sister Doggett just got her hair cut by a crazy Malasian and I found a new green jacket that just needs a button sewn back on to be pretty close to my favorite tweed jacket I left behind.
This week has been amazing, I forgot how much I love talking to BYU students until they all decided to come onto Temple Square yesterday night with their Wards. I never realized that time was moving on so fast, in my head it is still the week before Thanksgiving. Then of course I discovered the magic that is the Joseph Smith movie, I love the spirit that that movie brings to the people here on Temple Square. We were assigned to contact people who were going to it and it was amazing to have people stop and talk to you rather than you stopping and talking to them. It was amazing.
Take that fun evening and add to it the newfound proficiency I have found in the Beehive House and I've been doing great this week. Hopefully I won't get too distracted by the Transfer conference that is happening on MONDAY. Can you believe it? So many people are coming back and we're getting 27 sisters in from the MTC. There are going to be trainers out the wazoo. Then of course we are starting to teach the people we talk to here on Temple Square and on the phones... which is going to be an exciting experience.
I've not seen many people who I know, but interestingly enough every other Utahn I've met knows where I'm from which is pretty awesome, but odd when they start chatting about the shopping or the beach while forgetting that we're standing outside in FREEZING weather. oops, live and learn I guess. And now I am famous in the mission for Swing dancing because someone had a jazzified version of Go Tell It on the Mountain and I couldn't help myself with the dancing.
That's what a mission is for, right? Trying new things and helping others come closer to Jesus Christ?
Hope this season is wonderful!
