Well as you can tell by the title of this email I have made it to Alaska and it is a lot different than what I thought it was going to look like that's for sure. But my first week in the field was good and bad ngl some struggles for sure but just trying to do my best.
Sunday- Today was the last Sunday in the mtc and last "Go and Do" experience which I'm not too sad about leaving behind lol. But it was good it was kind of sad to realize that our district only had 1 more full day together because I love them they are so awesome and I already miss them so much.
Monday- Today was the last full day of class with my district and it was important just to enjoy it because of how much I hated 3 hour classes they were honestly so fun to have with my district. I definitely had the best mtc teachers before so sister klemann, and Brother Thompson were awesome for me, the night class was the last time we were going to be together so we all shared our testimonies and it was so sad but the spirit was so strong in there you could feel it so strong it was crazy.
Tuesday- Today was when everyone had either left or was leaving before we had class so we all hungout before saying bye and me and my comp were the only ones that left on Wednesday everyone else left Monday or Tuesday. So we combined with like 2 other districts who had the same problem as us that day for class. But we checked in our bags and sang in choir that night and had a devotional which was awesome.
Wednesday- I had to wake up at 3:30 in the morning to get to the airport and it was good to have real food again and not mtc food. But we had a layover in Seattle and from Seattle went to Anchorage. On the plane flight I had a kid who had been like kicked out of his house or something like that who was bashing me on the plane for being a missionary for like the whole 3 hour ride and I was just telling him I wasn't trying to argue. But I ended up seeing Lincoln Hodbe from high school here which was so sick.
Thursday- we stayed in a hotel overnight and the beds were so comfy and then we had orientation and games and then I flew out to north pole to see My trainer and a couple of the elders took me to taco bell which was cool cuz some people came to make fun of us for being missionaries and then we ended up teaching them and giving them a book of mormon which I guess you can say I brought the spirit.
Friday- first day knocking doors which was scary ngl. I got yelled a ton and had like a 12 year old kid act like he was gonna beat me up which scared me so bad for some reason but some of the areas in north pole are pretty sketch so that doesn't help.
Saturday- pretty much just tried to find people on Saturday and then after that we had a member meal that night which was so good and worth it. Our apartment is like 1000 degrees so the members gave us a swamp cooler so that was life changing.
Sunday- just church same old same old and meeting a lot of the members that are in my ward.
Monday- weekly planning and some meetings. Also my comp locked us out of the apartment so we were late to the meetings which probably wasn't a good first impression.
But anyway this week was like a 6/10 so hopefully it gets better.
Anyways I'd love to hear from all of you so please feel free to reach out to me that would be awesome!
This is what all the roads look like
Member gave them those chicken legs and he said they were fire.
