ELDER WEBER has ARRIVED in COLORADO!

Hey guys, so guess where I am, right now?

That's right, Fort Collins, Colorado!

...Okay, technically it's Loveland, Colorado, but that's not what really matters here. What matters is that I'M FINALLY IN THE MISSION FIELD!!! This is great! Colorado is a lot like Utah, actually, so it doesn't feel all that different from home. Except that it's a bit hotter here, and a little less hazy. Oh, and though they say that Colorado is 'mountain country' the only mountains I can see are about a hundred miles off in the distance, so its a fairly flat horizon all around me. Sigh...though, I guess it could be worse. I could be in Kansas.

 

I've gotten my first real companion. His name is Elder Proffit. That's right, Proffit, like Prophet. I have REALLY good feelings for this mission! He's a nice guy, really helpful, but he doesn't seem to talk much. Not that I talk all that much either, really. Hopefully, though, when it comes to study time and our lessons, we'll be able to speak up to one another, and help each other when needed. For now, though, I'm just going to try and follow his example as I try to keep up with the new life in the mission field.

 

For the 'luxuries' of my mission, there's actually a bit to talk about. First, there is a temple, the Fort Collins Temple, being erected while I am living in this area.

 

 

In fact, the church building I will be attending Sundays at is RIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD FROM IT!!! I'll be able to watch it go up each Sunday for the next few months! How awesome is that?! Oh, and we get cars, too, and phones to call our investigators. Sorry, but I can't text or call any of you guys while I'm on my mission. Sorry! Lastly, as for where I'll be staying, I'm now living in the basement of a nice member family, the Houses, who seem like a really nice family. Hopefully, I won't be a burden to them.

Well, that's it for this week.

I'll write to y'all again probably come Monday.

Until then, catch ya later!

--Elder Z.S.Weber
