Just like Michael Jackson did! I'm rockin the suburbs!
...except he was talented.
Hey everyone!
Well, it's been another week. But the big thing about
last week was Halloween! Spooky. 2spooky.
So spooky, in fact, that missionaries aren't even allowed
to go outside during this time! Because everyone thinks we are just idiots in
costumes trying to get free candy, and also everyone wot have time to talk with
us! So, what is a missionary supposed to do? Sit around in their apartment all
night? That is an option. Or, what you can do is watch a little movie called...
REMEMBER THE TITANS.
That's right, we got permission for two zones to get
together on Halloween and watch Remember the Titans! It was awesome, because we
usually don't get to watch movies as missionaries. And the parts of overcoming
racial differences actually really applies to the state of the Salt Lake City
West mission right now: We all come from different mission backgrounds (Salt
Lake, West, Central, South) and we are used to different ways to do things. We
also are basically still in cliques, but as we realize that we are all on the same team with the same objective, we
will become an awesome team.
And that was probably the highlight of the week.
And also: there was this crazy light show Halloween setup
that was absolutely fantastic. It's in the attached video.
There hasn't been a whole bunch going on right now, which
is surprising because we cover 14 wards, so things should be crazy busy.
But we're starting to pick things up. It'll take a lot of
work and a lot of prayers, but we will get things kicking.
In other news, for the first time in three years I threw
up. Pretty sure it was food related, because after dinner last night I can't
keep anything down except water. So that's been fun.
One thing about our area is that it's super rich suburbs,
but in between neighborhoods there is a bunch of undeveloped fields. Makes
really good photo ops.
Attached are some pics of those fields, and the time me
and elder Woolf found a printer just in the middle of a parking lot, and also
the sunrise yesterday that my Mom would be proud of!
Well, thats all I really have to write about today. Keep
me updated on how things are going for all of you, too!
Love each one of you all!
