I'M HERE!!!
DAD!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! WISH I COULD BE THERE TO HUG YOU!
i love dc. soooo much.
president cooke and his wife are absolutely amazing. they weren't kidding when they said this is the best mission in the whole world. my trainer is sister leben from germany! germany, mom!! she's amazing. today has been pretty crazy though. i need you to write me letters that include simple/fast recipes and how to pick stuff (produce) out in grocery stores. all letters and packages should be sent to the mission office.
washington dc north mission

send everything there and then they forward it to the visitors center for me! so you'll never need to update my address.
we were assigned to work in the moville seneca area. i honestly don't really know what that means, but that's our area. SINGLES WARD! thing is, it's not even a ward yet. not even a branch. they're calling it a "group" so our job will be basically what we did in the singles ward at home, but the in-actives and non-members outnumber the members. it's crazy, we're starting from absolute scratch. our area book is entirely empty, everything is new. crazy huh?! we just tried calling the bishop - no answer - so we sort of have no where to begin right now.
today has been crazy. technically we're not supposed to email right now, p-day ends at six, but sis leben said it's necessary that i email home. i ate breakfast at the mission home and i've had two granola bars since. i'm starving...
tell me about your phone call with president! he told us he called all the parents last night. i can't even begin to tell you how amazing president and his wife are. how did i get so blessed?!?!
we arrived at the airport, were greeted by president, wife, and a few missionaries. we then took the metro and were asked to place a book of mormon. i was terrified and certain that it wouldn't happen for me. i then ended up talking to a woman, and my intro was that i get motion sickness so don't be weirded out if i'm like staring at you (she was sitting backwards) - i just needed to look out the window so i didn't get sick. we ended up talking and i ended up giving her the book of mormon, a mormon.org card, and also got her email address so i can follow up.
p-days are going to be mondays. so i will email you again in a few days!
also, i think i might be allowed to blog for reals once i get settled and start working with facebook!!!!!
