It's been a crazy long
day but made it to Colorado! I got my first area and trainer. I'm serving in
the Greeley area, Windsor Stake, in the Bison Ridge ward in north east Colorado
and being trained by Elder Litster. He's a really cool guy and we get along
perfectly! He's from Simi Valley in Ventura county, he graduated same year as
me and has been out almost 15 months now. I got to meet some other elders that
drove us to drop our stuff off at our place and they're serving in the Richey's
ward and one of the elders has been there 4.5 months and finishing his mission
there so he's gotten to know the Richey's really well. Oh yeah haha, the area
we're in doesn't have a car, so we're either biking or walking, not sure yet
cause we currently only have 1 bike. We're living in this members house and he
reminds me of grandma Loy. He's this older guy who lives by himself in this
nice 2 story house and he set us up upstairs. He's so funny, he plays his TV
really loud and he has a stereo that he puts a CD in of just bird noises and he
plays it all day long I think it's hilarious! He also has a pet bird named
Kirby. He's still teaching math at Aims Community college out here too 4 days a
week! Which I was blown away by when I heard cause he's probably at least in
his 80's and he's still teaching but that's awesome for him. But yeah day 1 was
sweet the guys in this mission are really cool and I'm pumped to get to serve
and work with the people out here. Sis Harkness got assigned to the YSA ward in
the same zone as me. I got to see Elder Arnold and Sister Lewis too which
was super cool! When I first arrived in the airport the AP's told me I was in a
biking area and that my comp was a tool so I was a little bummed and stressin
over it so I said a prayer about it and the Lord answers prayers! Cause I love
my comp and think he's dope and ain't even sweatin not having a car. The Lord
answers prayers I know this to be true and there is power in prayers so always
remain faithful and PRAY!!
Love you and praying for you all!
