Hey everyone!!
I'm really glad that Amanda
had such a great time with Mitch at prom. I read about it in her letter to me
and I wrote her one back this morning, but it was before I read that she had
already gone. So i'm talking like she hasn't gone yet.
Speaking of letters,
I wasn't able to write any on either of my flights because on the first one, I fell asleep off and on for two and a half hours and then on the second flight I was in between to ladies that kept asking me questions about the
church and about being a missionary. SOOOO I spent half an hour last night
writing a few letters and then some time this morning writing a couple
more.
As for where I live, I'm in
Chevy Chase, MD which is in D.C. and our apartment is the church. I'll send a pic
in another email of what it looks like. But our apartment is in the bottom of
the church. It's on western Ave. But you can't send me mail or packages to
where I live. You have to send them to 11700 Falls Rd Potomac, MD 20854. That's the mission office, and they will forward it to our mail
box. Keep in mind that all mail will take about a week and a half to get to me.
Ya, like i said before, I haven't had anytime to write anyone, so I haven't been able to write Keaton
either. I hope to write him soon though, I want to tell him about everything
that's going on.
Ok, story time! So this week
was probably one of the worst/best weeks of my life. I had a dream this week
about pretty much everything that I have been homesick for. So Mom, Dad, Sairah, Amanda, Cindy, and Herc are all in this dream (don't be offended if
your name wasn't said. I said pretty much everything, not all). This dream was
so real when I woke up I was really depressed. When my companion went into
the shower, I broke down crying because I felt so homesick. So I got
down on my knees and prayed. I told my Heavenly Father that I needed his help and that I couldn't handle the homesickness any longer. I said, "I put
myself in your hands Heavenly Father, I need you to lift me up and help me." After that, within a few hours I was feeling better. I still had homesickness,
but it wasn't nearly as bad. The next day was great!! I hardly felt any home
sickness and I was happy. I felt like I was getting more comfortable with
everything and that I was learning a lot. So that was my major spiritual event
for the week :)
It's ok that you haven't sent
me anything, that's my fault for not telling you where to send it. As for the
emails and letters you can do what ever you would like :) It will be great
hearing from you either way.
Well I have to get going.
I love you all and I cant
wait to heard from you all!!
Love Elder Gold
This is the church where Elder Gold lives in the basement.
