The Journey of a Thousand Miles

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, so watch your step. The MTC experience so far has been rough but it is good. I have learned quite a bit and definitely learned to rely on the savior for the areas in which i lack. I am improving in the language and teaching little by little. My teacher informed us that the Marshall Islands are like the 1950's and Kiribati is like the 1850's there are many stories that he has told us as well as our other teacher that have been interesting to say the least. The plane ride over is going to be great because our zone is the loudest in the whole MTC i would bet money on it. Samoa, Marshalls and kiribati all flying out on the same plane the other passengers are going to hate their flight i feel. I sent a fake letter to my companion and he thought it was a girl when he got it the reaction was priceless. He opened it up and was so excited and just watching the excitement turn to a reaction of basically "you jerk" was absolutely hilarious!! The food here is going from good to bearable to the point now hwere i just really really contemplate on going hungry and fasting for the entire week until temple day where there is real food in the cafeteria. haha. I just really want to get out there it is going to be an adventure and i really want to experience it. All the support has more than helped me stay it has helped me realize who i am and who i am trying to be. I have definitely started to lose myself out here and all that is left to do is love the people and when the time is right i will be able to again find myself but not as i once knew me. I look forward to that day. I am trying to get these pictures to work but they are giving me a hard time so hopefully ill have something to send home. This week sped by and i can only imagine the next 3 disappearing, i know i want out now but when the time comes i will feel unprepared. I will just have to be sure and remember that it does not matter how unprepared i feel as long as i know i am trying my hardest I will have what i need and that will be all that matters.
Well I love you all and thanks again for the love and encouragement.
Love, Elder Scot Carrington ;)
