So any ways answering your questions I am doing pretty great! A LOT to adjust to but as Gordon B HIncklys father told him "forget yourself and go to work" I have taken that to heart! The first night that i got here was rough.... I was the most homesick i have ever been! But the next day i prayed all day and honestly i can say that i am doing AMAZING!! The weather here is kinda crazy, we get days where it can be nice like in the 50's and others that are like 30's and below. Here in Hershey from the sound of it they dont get to much snow here, plus we are on the down side of winter so no i have not gotten my boots yet. My companion is Elder Rasmussen, no relation to coach rass, but he is related to some people from tremonton. His family is from Orem. He has lived there his whole life! We live in a brand new app. its is so nice! We do not live with any members. The ward boundaries here are like the ones in O'fallon HUGE!!! The ward here is amazing!! Here in Hershey they have the Hershey med center. So full of Dr. and there familys. We get fed pretty well ;)
This week has been super slow.... Here in Hershey there is a lot of people that just aren't open to hearing the message we have to give to them. It makes it hard honestly. Hershey is an old old town so there is a lot of people just stuck in there ways and are happy. Which is fine, I just wish that i could help them a little more with the message we have. Cause if they are happy now, think of how happy they could be with the restored Gospel. I know that the Gospel brings only the best of feelings to anyone who is willing to just hear us out, and take in to their hearts this message. We did how ever get to talk with some people around our place and made some good friends, like Mr Willy he is an old retired truck driver, who has a talking bird.... Its the coolest thing in the world!! Oh and i cant forget Shirley! Shirley is a convert of a little over a year which means she can go to the temple! She is the coolest person on the planet. She is so loving and kind to any and everyone! I love her! She gets to go to the temple this weekend and will be sealed to her husband who passed away about 17 years ago. Now you see Shirley is gettin up there in age, her health is going down and its the saddest thing ever. She keeps saying to us that she has only held on this long to sealed to her husband and than she can let go. And that honestly makes me so sad... I dont want her to let go. She is my favorite person in the world! Well I love you all! Talk to you later!
