I went to my new student ward for the first time today, and it was great. There are probably a total of about 30 freshmen in it, putting them in the minority, and not-freshmen in the majority. I'm pretty excited about that. There are an incredible number of barely-off-their-missions young men who are really funny to watch. A lot of them cluster in groups, and a few make the effort to actually talk to girls without another guy standing right next to them. Many of them bore their testimonies in chruch today in the same manner as many other missionaries that I've heard...it was really fun. There's a great spirit about the ward though, and I think things should be great. In the ward today, we got nametags with our names on them (duh) and where we're from. Mine stated that I was from Flitzxle, Pluto. I'm not sure if the new bishoprich was stating that I am out of this world, or punishing me for not having records in the ward by making me from a non-planet. Either way, I liked it.
Speaking of newly returned missionaries, Best Friend just got back a little while ago, and life has been so great! After this summer, I expected a potential dip in the excitement/happiness factor, and there hasn't been one. If anything, my happiness is multiplying exponentially...and that's a lot of happiness.

Dear Novel,
The bishopric had to be bullied to realize how out of the ward you are. Madam Manatee's self defense probably helped here. They agree to a whole lot more when you've got them in headlocks.
Hehe that's really funny. Sounds like your bishopric has a sense of humor. Kind of like my bishopric when they called me to teach the 7 yr old boys...
I'm so so happy that things with Best Friend are going so well! And I'm glad you're able to be a functioning member of society, despite the giddiness :)
Also, if and when any blessed events happen, I will happily make the trip to Utah. I totally want to be there.
