I have done it! I have moved into a town with more people than cows for the first time in my life, and boy, is it different.
I have gotten two ID tags in two days and a little more than I bargained for on both days.
Day one:
I was at the LDS Church Office Buildings to get my ID tags to allow me entry into everywhere I need to go for my mission. I felt lost and disoriented, but boy, was I happy! What a dream come true. As I walked back to my apartment, a sweet woman stopped me on the street to say "you are beautiful! You look like Rebekah, you know, the one who marries Isaac in the Bible." Hot dang, I look like a biblical beauty. All is well. Such a sweet compliment.
As I traveled further down the sidewalk, (keep in mind, the walk is only 4 minutes to my abode,) I hear someone shout "Hey, HEY!" Naturally, I turn to see who wanted my attention. It was an elderly man... With his pants on the ground. DANGER, DANGER, WILL ROBINSON. SEE NO EVIL!!!!
I had been flashed. I had been flashed on my first day in Salt Lake right across from the temple. Clearly, this man had no respect for biblical beauties or such a sacred building.
Day two:
Fast forward (or flash forward... Ha, I am hysterical.) to today. I began work today and am LOVING it. Talk about an excellent place to work filled with excellent people. As we went through the motions of checking a guest out of a building, her large box of props for her TV plug tipped over the hand sanitizer which then squirted... Straight into my eyeball. Good aim, hand sanitizer. You should try out for an MLB team. You'd totally make it.
Anyways, that is all I have for now. We'll figure out something more a little later. I'm ill and tired, but I am here and I am happy. The Lord is good to me.
