First off.....You'll never guess what I had for my first meal here in
Idaho.....
Yep. You probably guessed right. A potato. I only had a potato because the sister that fed us never got a good heads up that I was gluten free... haha I'm sure this will be a common occurrence!
Well I am here in Idaho now, and surprisingly enough, I'm not freezing cold! My jacket and layers of clothes are keeping me warm. There is a bit of snow and ice on the roads. Aaaaand right when I was assigned my companion, I was handed car keys. They are trusting this Arizona girl to be driving??? Maybe not the smartest thing ever, but I am learning! Ha! My companion doesn't drive, so I am the designated driver!
Back track--Christmas in the MTC was......AWESOME!! We woke up to a wonderful white Christmas!!! That really started my day on a happy note. Elder Bednar spoke to us Christmas morning. Love that man. Then, there was a 2 person performance of the Christmas Carol. That was neat. And that evening we had a surprise guest come sing for us....... David Archuleta!! Whoohoo! After his performance, we all watched Ephraim's Rescue. Overall, Christmas really was fantastic and super special.
December 29th finally arrived and I am in Boise! I love my mission president and his wife. We ate a lunch with all of the new missionaries and the trainers. Then we were assigned our companions......My companion is Sister Eas from Hawaii! We cover 3 wards--2 family wards and 1 YSA ward!!! I am WAY excited because the work is busy, there is so much to do, and so many people to meet! Like I said, I ate with a family that first evening and right after had our first appointment with an investigator.
Today we had our district meeting, so I have been meeting lots of other missionaries. We also had another appointment today and taught the lesson of the restoration. It went amazing!! I LOVE teaching!
Well time is short, but I will be back on Monday, my regular P-Day! I love you all!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
