It actually wasn't as bad as I thought...

Well I survived the past 2 days! My companion is Sis. Summers. She's from West Jordan (or maybe it's South Jordan I don't really understand Utah). She is super nice and she wears glasses like me so that's awesome. We also have our own room so that's super fun! I am having a great time! We are learning so much already. We had to teach our investigator today all ready but she's really our teacher. I am so tired all the time but also so so so happy. I love it here and I am excited about the next 4 weeks. 
I talked to this lady on the plane on the way up though. Her name is Joda and she was the most positive person I have ever met. She shared a scripture with me from her good news bible. It is Philipeans 4:4-13. It was a bit different in her bible but it still sent the same message that we should all be positive and willing to share the gospel. I told her I was on my way to serve a mission and spread the gospel and she was so excited. She thought it was amazing that I had the opportunity to spread the gospel and then she said a prayer out loud right there on the plane thanking Heavenly Father for letting her sit next to me on the plane and to bless me on my mission. She was such a great person and I am so blessed to have been able to sit next to her and talk to her on the plane. 
My district is fantastic. There are 3 sets of sisters and 3 sets of elders and all of us sisters are going to Philadelphia so that is so fantastic. There is such a special spirit in our district that is so amazing. 
I saw Jeremy! And we took a picture but I'll send it next week because we only get to send this one email. Our Pday is on Thursday but since next week is Thanksgiving it will be on Friday so you'll hear from me then.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
