Anna and I were asked to speak in church today. I know that some people dread it, but for some reason I really don't mind it. I especially enjoyed it because it gave me the opportunity to talk to and get to know more people afterward. One family even invited us over for dinner and family night tomorrow night!
One of the best things about today: We made a new friend! It's been hard getting to know people because 1) a lot of people look at us as "just some more BYU girls that will be gone in a couple months" and 2) we lack adequate means of communication and transportation. Today, however, some of the YSA at church set up a ride for us to go to a Musical Fireside tonight. Doron came and picked the four of us up and we ended up having quite an entertaining drive to and from the fireside with him. He is an interesting guy--spray painted car, works as a manager of a store called "Just Jeans," wears snakeskin cowboy boots--but he was so friendly, absolutely hilarious, and is going to make a great friend for us four Colwill girls. woot woot!
This picture has nothing to do with today, except that I found it as I was looking through some of my pictures and I think it is beautiful. I wish I could take credit for it, but Anna was the one who took it in Queenstown. Props to Anna! I love it.
