It's been a long few days but super great!!!! It's been intense but really fun! My whole district is brand new and we're all going to San Diego speaking English! I love them all!!! It's an adjustment to not say guys or dudes. The elders have decided to punch each other every time they say that word. Yesterday at church I was sitting in front of them and I turned around and called them guys so they all instinctively hit me. The president was not happy. I wasn't even phased, I just thought it was funny. We are learning some mind blowing doctrine and it's great! Sister Larson and I teach really well together. She is like a doctrine wizard and I just sit next to her and make the investigator feel loved. But we split up the work, don't worry ;). She also runs marathons so we run together! We run laps on the track and she passes me like crazy but it's still a good time! I've seen a TON of my friends here so that's been really comforting! Sorry I'm drawing a blank of everything that's happened. But being on a mission is not easy! But it is VERY rewarding! My advice to all of you is if you is if you have any sort of sorrow or burden at all, turn it over to the Lord. It seriously lightens everything and just brings a certainty that everything will be okay. I'm going to admit that I haven't prayed before like I have in the MTC. It's sometimes a hard thing to humble ourselves and ask for help but it is so necessary and peaceful. Even if there is someone reading this who isn't religious or believe in God, try doing this and see if your burdens are lightened. That's all I have time for. I love you all!!!
Love, Sister Pilkington
