Sorry this was a little far back...

Week 2 (maybe 3?)

Friends and Family

This is going to be short and sweet:) I arrived in Nashville safe and sound last Monday and spent the night and the presidents home before heading off to.... Paducah Kentucky! whoo! Yeah I never thought that I would be here. I am not going to lie is it hard here. The one thing that is supper great though is my companion! Her name is Hermana Garlitz and she is awesome! I know that I can do anything with her. She can turn my sad day into the most memorable one. I have met great people and the leaders of the church here are great. I did however speak in sacrament. It actually wasn't has hard as I thought it would be though:) The church is the same where ever you go. I think the greatest lesson I have learned so far is humility. Some of the people around these parts have real problems. They live in places that I would never survive in with conditions and are even hard for me to comprehend. I was telling my companion on the first day out that I had never seen the world like I see it now. In Utah I was exposed less to such worldly things but my spiritually was less, and now my spiritually is a constant flame but the worldly things come across with exclamation points. I miss Utah and I miss the MTC and I miss the comforts but I know that I am doing the lords work. I know that this is the true church! I know it and I cant deny it. It brings me happiness and I need to share my happiness with these people.

I love you all!
