August 6 (First Day in Las
Vegas
Dear family,
I am here in Vegas, and it is awesome. I haven’t met my companion yet. I am exhausted. I had to get up at 3:30 this morning. President Black seems really good. It’s weird, I felt like I already knew him and
I can’t think of where I would have met him.
The other letter was written Friday and I have been kind of sick
Saturday, Sunday and today, but I think I am getting better. Just stepping into the Vegas airport, there
were billboards and screens you don’t see in any other airport, a mirror
ceiling, and slot machines all over the place.
I didn’t get a missionary opportunity on the plane because the kid next
to me was just leaving EFY. The mission
mom or President’s wife just said they’ve had missionaries gain over 100 lbs
because of the way members feed out here.
So our mission currently has 136 (26 came today) and we plan on being at
190 soon (20 next week). By what they
are saying it sounds like I will never really be more than 1 hour out of the
city. I know Heavenly Father loves us
and that I am truly serving Him through His church and I am excited to share
that!
Nathanael
