what?? how is that possible? it's a very strange and conflicting sensation to feel like you've been somewhere for a long time and yet still feel like almost everyone around you is a complete stranger.
we've already been given a speaking assignment for next sunday, sigh. i knew it would come quickly, but that was really quick! course, they're acting like they're desperate for people because the ward was split back in the fall. i think they were just used to having a ton of people and talents because they still seem like a stronger ward than many i've been in previously.
part of the reason these two weeks have felt like more i think is because between trying to get supplies to put the house together, sports, and a well-timed RS activity i've been out of the house more in the last 2 weeks than probably the last 2 months of living in fresno. and it's been heaven. this place feels like my perfect place in so many ways. so many things i've been wanting, but had no access to in fresno. god has been so good to me! i feel ridiculously blessed.
my house is in order, (almost) everything has a place, and is even in it! we got rid of so much stuff, it's quite a relief. i'm just so . . . happy. and relieved. and excited.
the only negative feelings i'm feeling right now is the realization setting in of the distance we are from all family. it still feels close, which is great because really it's a doable weekend (if we had the gas money anyway), but i'm starting to miss everyone. it's nice to know that we have plans to visit in june so at least it doesn't feel like it could be forever until we get to see family again, but still, it's tough. so i just want all my family and friends out there to know,
I MISS YOU ALL!!
P.S. if anyone comes up this way for any reason (like just to visit...), please please, let us know. we'd love to see you!!
