Week 30

Hello all you lovelies!

So I just wanted to talk about how awesome Utah is! Half a year ago, I was pretty bummed that I got reassigned to the Salt Lake City West Mission instead of Perú, which also paired with the bummer of being a virtual missionary as well (which crushed my dreams of eating so much good food with the members

). But honestly I'm super duper grateful to still be on a mission and also have all the benefits of living here in Utah.

I'm super lucky to be in a mission that has technology, functioning plumbing, air conditioning, hot and cold water, cars, a (somewhat) logical road system, people that obey the law, real beds, and Walmart. But arguably the best thing is all of the support that we get here. It's basically impossible to walk down the street without getting honked at by every other car just to say hi. Also, the only people that are probably more devastated that we can't eat with the members are the members themselves! But... that doesn't mean we're not disappointed... cause we are.

Another perk of being here is the occasional time that we go to a fast food place and the worker/owner either gives us a discount or sometimes they don't charge us at all!! There are also some more well-known missionary hook up restaurants that do indeed hook us up. For example, there's a restaurant called Leatherby's where just for the missionaries, the dessert is free. That sounds great, but what's even greater is how deliciously ginormous their ice cream is.

Keep sending me emails and letters! I treasure everything that I get, and while I love you all equally, you will become highly favored in mine eyes
