A year ago today I was set apart by my Stake President as an LDS missionary. A day after that I was in Provo with Shadow Byrn jammin' it on DDR at a nickelcade. The next day I did some touring of Salt Lake City, and the next day I entered the MTC. Three weeks later I landed in Colorado Springs, and on the morn of the day after, I was heading out to Salida to begin preaching.
Since then I've been in a portion of Littleton, served in Woodland Park, and now I'm in La Junta at least until the new year. Thankfully the closest I've been to Springs is Woodland Park; I've heard some interesting stories about that place.
But, yeah, it's been fun. I've never had this much social contact since middle school, and in a way I can't wait for that facet to end. I can't exactly interact with people on a face-to-face basis very well; Shadow is better at that. But I still will always have fond memories; some of my companions have been rather interesting.
Anyway, I'm sitting here at a college library, and just thought I'd say, "Hi", to y'all, seeing how it's been about a year now. A lot can change in a short amount of time if you're not paying attention. I briefly glanced at the web page, and am rather pleased that it hasn't changed too much; still, surprises might abound. I've changed too; probably most notable is a complete lack of emoticons. You learn a lot doing this kind of stuff.
Anyways, happy quarking. I have plenty of plans for when I get back. ;P (okay, one emoticon)
