Gutentag to all!
I made it! It has been a pretty
crazy couple days! As you can tell my P day is on Fridays! And yes mom I
did get your Dear Elder! So I will start out from the beginning, but
its too much to tell everything so I will just give it briefly.
So on the flight I was right next to Sister Jarman. She is awesome!
She is basically my big sister here, and we see each other every now
and then. And right in front of us on the plane was Elder Bensen! The
one from Gilbert who is going to my mission! He played lax for Gilbert
High so he knows the Palmers as well! So pretty boring flight, and then I
landed, got picked up, then on the way! So when I got picked up at the
curb it was awesome! I am SOOOO glad we didn't drive up. It would have
been ten times as hard for sure. But I got picked up and my host Elder
started taking me around. Right before I went into one of the buildings I
saw Elder Huntter Jones with 2 T's! He is going to Cambodia, and we
were pretty good friends in HS. So it was just a whirling dirvish of
activities until I made it to my classroom. We got my books, I dropped
off my suitcases, and headed off to class! It was just a blur of walking
all around. And btw I am staying at Wyview. The main campus is
obviously inferior to us, and our food and rooms are better apparently.
All of our classes are at Raintree.
So we got to our classroom, which is our District. My District has 4
Elders and 4 Sisters. 6 of us are going to MN, and 2 are going to OKC
(Sherod's mission). The 2 Elders going to OKC are in my apartment, and
they are awesome! One of them is Elder Debenham from Draper Utah, whos
dad apparently started the X Games, and he was an ESPN anchor! He went
To Alta high school, and him and Mitch were friends because that's where
Mitch went before QC! His companion is Elder Olsen, and he is from
Glendale! He went to Deer Valley! I told him where Denae and Danny used
to live and he said that was his ward, but he didn't know them... My
companion is Elder Kelsch! He is freaking awesome! Even after 2 days we
already are on the same train of thought and definitely understand each
other already, He is from Herriman Utah, and he is a convert, and his
conversion story is pretty nuts. I might tell y'all later.
Our District also has 4 Sisters, Sister Childers from Eagle, ID,
Sister Smith from somewhere in northern Utah, Sister Eicher from
Houston, and Sister Jackson from Idaho Falls. They are all awesome
sisters and I love having them with us in class! And they are all going
to MN! Total, in our zone, there are 19 going to our mission!!! Holy moly
right?! There is one Sister from Perth Australia going to our mission!
Last night we met as a branch, which is also our zone. Our branch
president is President Stice, and that guy is amazing! Seriously he is
the bomb. He is making sure we are not average missionaries, but
EXCEPTIONAL missionaries, and that is what I am and will be!
I have spotted 3 friends so far too! I saw Elder Ashby who is in
the West Campus with me at dinner my first night! I didn't have my
camera, but he got a picture. I have also seen Elder Stout like 3 times!
He is doing awesome, and it is so nice to be able to have family here!
There is so much I want to say, but I don't really have enough time!
I
will just leave you with this: I know that my Redeemer lives! I know
that this is the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, and has been fully
restored in these days! I am so grateful for the opportunity to be able
to be a servant of our Father in Heaven.
With much love!
Your friendly neighborhood Elder Evans
Oh and P.P.S I am our District Leader and Elder
Olson and Elder Debenham are the Zone Leaders, and Sister Smith is the
sister leader thing idk. Peace be the journey!
