Man it's so weird to be in a new Area! I don't know SQUAT about where I am or people we talk to. I spent five Transfers, seven and a half months, in Bearcreek. I knew that area pretty well. It took like six Keymap pages to make a map of that area. But Westgreen takes like 20, maybe more. It's GINORMOUS. I can't even unfold a map in the car to try and figure out the roads we're on and learn the area that way because it's TOO BIG. AHHHHH. I'm going to be in trouble when Hna Taets leaves in five weeks.
On the upside: I have a DRYER! YEEESSS!! No more air-drying clothes! And the ward seems pretty cool. They feed us like every day it appears. (I'm going to get even fatter, that I'm not so enthusiastic about.) But apparently it's really easy to lose mission weight once you go home.
A couple of days ago when we were talking about how much time I have left in the Mission Hna Taets blew my mind. At the end of this Transfer I'm going to get my Death Dot (the mark they put on your picture in the Mission Office so they know who has three Transfers or less at a glance) That's soooo wierd. I've been watching other Missionaries getting ready to leave or hitting these milestones, it's just so odd that I'm getting there too.
This coming Thursday I'll complete one year as a Missionary! It was on March 3rd 2010 that I said Goodbye to my Parents and entered the Missionary Training Center in Provo Utah. In some ways I'm surprised, in others in feels like I should have been done with my Mission for a year by now. But when it's finally my turn to go home I know it's going to be so strange.
I'll be able to go visit my old area this Sunday since I'm going up for a Baptism. I'll have been out of Bearcreek for two weeks, it might feel weird going back again. I'm just so thrown off with the new area, new apartment, new companion, new ward. But I'll adjust, it's what Missionaries do. I'll not likely be moved again until the end of my mission, so I'll be in Westgreen for six months.
I hope you're all doing well!
