Hello AlI,
I am here, in Riverside, the land of many warehouses.
This is my weekly email because I have such short time.
We left the MTC at 12 noon and boarded the Front Runner from Provo to the SL Airport. I was traveling with my Comp Elder Hallsted, and two other elders from my district headed to Washington State. Our flight left at 5 pm and we arrived at the Mission home at 8:30pm
I am super excited to get going and feel like I am ready to serve.
I will share one cool experience.

My ASL teacher (Sister Orr) told us a story of how she was exactly obedient and went to bed promptly at 10:30 the night before her departure. She had been very worried about her luggage and the weight she had packed in her suitcases.
I had the same worries, because last night I weighed both bags, one was 55 pounds, the other was 45 pounds. I made some rough calculations and switched items over. I decided to follow in my teachers footsteps and be exactly obedient that night, hoping for the best.
"Obedience brings blessings, exact obedience brings miracles"
I waited anxiously for the time to come when I would leave the harbor of the MTC.
Eventually, after many hours I found myself at the airport, and the dreaded time had come to weigh my bags. I placed one on the scale and found it to be 50 pounds exactly. What a relief. Then I remembered I had 2 bags. I put my second bag on the scale, and it read 51 pounds. I must have made a weird face because the receptionist saw my dismay and looked at the scale, immediately when she looked at the scale, it dropped from 51 pounds to 50 pounds. Both my bags were underweight.
"Exact obedience brings miracles" not just in missionary work.
Anyway, my P-day is Monday, and ill write a bigger email then.
Just about to have an interview with President Hammon.
Elder Hallsted and I are going to be in a trio, I'll let you know how that goes this coming Monday.
Love you all!!
