Week 2 - A Church History Tour +

It's been fairly uneventful since I last wrote. Sunday we went on a church history tour of the area. We saw where President Hinckley lived whilst he was on his mission here. We also saw the rivers that were the original baptismal sights of the first saints in the area. There were chunks of ice in the rivers and we all were very grateful for the fact that we have warm baptismal fonts today. We also got to see some snow on their one "mountain" in the area. I got to throw my first snowball in years.
We had to sing in the local ward as well on Sunday. It was interesting. when there's 11 sisters and 30 men, the melody can somewhat get lost....
 
This is hard work over here. We all are beginning to look like zombies. we head for breakfast at 7:30 AM and don't see our rooms again until 9:30 PM, from class to class, investigator to investigator. It's highly stressful at times. Sister Melander and I just had enough the other night, we were so easily distracted in class and the moment we were able to leave we went to the cafeteria for a late night snack of apple slices coated in Nutella. It is our new comfort food.
I get along well with my teachers though, I'm able to joke with them and our district is just basically the coolest. We quite literally are becoming more like family everyday.
