Ok, so to start.... oh life! Thanks for finding out all that info about school and work and housing and stuff. I don't have any requests as far as roommates... luck of the draw this first semester back. Yay! If it is possible, request an upper level apt (no basement) and not the buildings on the bottom- they are in a different ward. So it would be the buildings that are closer to campus.
As far as job stuff goes, I think doing afterschool stuff would be awesome! I just need a place to stay... If you could, ask Zach to talk to his friend and see what the process is like to nanny. Last summer I was looking into it as well and they did have some openings for nannies in Logan- so that might be a possibility as well. I just don't really know what would happen with paying for somewhere to live? I think a good nanny job mostly has to do with networking and knowing who you are dealing with. If it means a set job I will do the Bar T5. Let me know what you find out! Please and thank you :)
What else...? Why does my brain think I am coming home tomorrow...? We are on the last week of the transfer. It has been a pretty trying week. It is really interesting because at the beginning of my mission I told myself that the fire would never die! I would want to do this forever and ever! Well... After tracting in ice and freezing cold weather, I was reconsidering that this week. It has been a tricky week to keep my mind and heart excited to go knock doors again.
I need to continue to count my blessings though. Liz is rocking and ready to get baptized! We are planning and preparing for that this coming Saturday. We have our second Family Home Evening on post tonight. We had a miracle day with 12 lessons on Tuesday! But the rest of the week was kind of weird.
The weather started to get really bad on Thursday evening. Friday we stayed in all day due to ice rain. Saturday I was fighting really hard about tracting so we got to do service on post instead- which was awesome! We are finally starting to see progress in some of the investigators that we have had to find on our own. But things are good. I just don't really like the cold... and I think it is very largely impacting my mood :(
We are getting excited for Christmas activities though. We have a Christmas Zone Conference on Thursday. They asked me to do a musical number. I am excited about that :) We also get to do white elephant! No set times about calling home for Christmas yet. Let me know your schedule when you can so we can start figuring that out as well.
Well, life is humming along. Still moving forward and doing the best I can. Keep me in your prayers.... My heart and mind need some kicking to get back into gear. Maybe transfers will help with that? Guess we will know by Saturday.
I sure love you all! Have a great week :)
LOVE Always,
Sister Alicia Johnson
