Whew!

So after my shower I tried to get to the convenience store I mentioned in my last post...but the only way besides going on the busy street was to cut across the grass and it snowed last night. I didn't want to get my pants and/or shoes wet and dirty since I was already dressed for my meeting so I went of search of something to eat here at the hotel. I found this...



...Froot Loops and coffee. It did well to tide me over but dinner is coming!

I just got back from my orals and am I ever glad that's over!! It wasn't terrible and I wasn't nervous but it was a lot nerve-wracking! They had to ask me about my beliefs in such a way that wouldn't be "leading" me but also in such a way that I could understand what they were asking. Turns out I passed...and it's over.

I got to meet some people that I've only talked with on the phone or emailed so that was really cool to be able to put a face with a name. And I was sought out by Don Trott. He was the featured speaker at my church's missions conference last year and he's just a very cool, nice guy all around. He said it's about time he saw me out here...in a joking way but for me it just more assurance that this is right.

I just got back from that convenience store with Mt. Dew, BBQ chips, a package of cheese/peanut butter crackers, and a snack pack tuna and crackers concoction. Looks like that will be dinner...more tomorrow.
