Day One

     Today was kind of rough. It was definitely a weird experience to walk away with a complete stranger; to not see my friends, family, or anything I know and love for two years. I will miss my nephews and nieces growing up. When I come home, the little ones probably wont recognize me, but that is okay for I am on the Lord's errand embarking upon one of my most important journeys of my life.

     They sit me down in my class room, and I met my district. They seem like good folks. We were all kind of sad, but excited for the journey we are on and nervous for the unknown. I haven't eaten all day; I had no appetite. I start to realize how hungry I am. My companion comes in and he is a pretty cool guy. Our teacher walks in and didn't speak one word of English. I had no idea what I was going to do, or what was going on, but I just knew things would be okay for I am consecrating all to the Lord. What can go wrong? After dinner, it was all downhill. I had no time to be home sick at all. I think this is going to be alright.
