It does not feel like Easter to me. I'm living in a foreign, non-Christian country with no family. (But they're awesome and sent me some candy.)
I did enjoy General Conference yesterday and today. And I had my final interview with my bishop. My mission papers are done! I just need to meet with my stake president (next Sunday) and then we'll send them off.
Yes, I'm counting down. Here are the things I'm excited for
--finishing this semester
--going back home
--serving my mission
And they'll all happen soon! The first two will occur on June 25th. The third, well we'll just have to wait and see.
Something exciting: Elder Bednar is coming to Kaohsiung!!! He'll be giving a devotional this Thursday night. I'm really excited. He holds a special place in my heart as the former president of BYU-I. I think it may even be possible to shake his hand. I planned to be there super early. But then I asked my stake president how early I should go. He said 6:30 for the 7 pm meeting. Say what?! It's an Apostle of the Lord! I'm probably going to leave soon after I get off work at 4:30. I want to be in the comfortable chapel seats. Oh and I want to be close to the podium.
