One Month plus a few days....

Okay, so Landon said that I had to post a blog by today at the latest. So here it is...

Work has pretty much taken over our weekdays, which is good because we needed something to do. I finished the classroom training last week (Landon is done after this week) and was on the call-floor today taking calls. I was so nervous to take a phone call, I was scared I had no idea what I was doing, but it went better than I had expected. I only had like three tough calls that I really had no idea how to handle. Other than that it was alright. The day tends to go by faster in the phone calls I think. Before I realized it, the day was over and I felt like it was just time for lunch or something. I think I can learn to enjoy this job, the people seem really nice and are very helpful.

This past weekend we went down to Fairview to help Landon's Uncle Joe with building the house they have down there. It was a pretty small town but the area was so nice and the house was really, really cute. At first we were helping with the wood floor trying to get that laid and that was really funny. My job was just picking the next piece of wood or putting glue down. Landon got the hard work of banging and nailing all the wood in place. But he did a really good job. Then I got called out to help out his Uncle Joe with the railing for the decks. That was interesting because I tried to reach what I needed to but I ended up having to basically crawl under the deck in the dirt to help out with that. I didn't mind that, it was fun. The only not-so-fun part was trying to get all the sawdust that embedded itself into the braids I had that day out. There was sawdust everywhere.

Anyways, on the way out there and while we were there, Landon's Cousins Hannah and Ethan thought it would be fun to play the question game, which consists of me sitting there answering questions that they ask. It was funny! They asked questions like "what pizza do you like", and "what's your favorite things about Landon", and "where do you wanna go on vacation". They were really cute though. On the way back, we just asked them school-related or random fact trivia. I think they enjoyed that a lot.

Sunday was really nice. At church we met someone who just got back from his mission in the Detroit area and we were talking to him. He was really excited to meet us and I was excited because he ended up knowing all three of the missionaries that I was taught by. It was really fun to talk to him. Unfortunately, we didn't get to talk long, but hopefully we can talk to him again. After church we were locked out of the house so we had to go run around looking for Charlotte back at her church because I had the Ward Missionaries coming over for the new member discussions a little bit after church. They were super friendly and seemed like really nice people, I think Lacey and Aubrey were their names. I feel bad about not remembering, but I'm on overload with names right now. They just came by to get to know me a little, so hopefully I will start meeting some more people. It's been kinda hard because there are a lot of people and its hard to tell if someone else is new or not, but hopefully I will start meeting more people in the weeks to come.

I think this Thursday Landon and I are going to go to the stake Institute class to see if we want to go to that class. We also can go on Wednesday so we have two classes to choose from. I really enjoyed the little bit of the institute class I attended out at Eastern so hopefully we can get into a class out here.

Right now we have been here just over a month, and hopefully in this next week we will be driving our own car. I feel bad that we keep borrowing cars from Debbie and Rand and Charlotte. I will feel a lot better when we have our own car. We're going to go look at one later on tonight when Landon gets off work. Hopefully that car will be a good deal for us and we will be on the road in the next few days.

Well I'm gonna end this one here, I have to finish writing my missionaries letters about this past week!!
