After finishing two intense academic days, I spent my break with a few other cadets at the senior mission couple’s house. I slept a lot, ate good food at a lot of families’ houses, and toured Revolutionary war-era sites with another mission couple and a student from Princeton. I spent a lot of time with returned missionaries and current missionaries, and it’s gotten me more excited to serve a mission. I’ve also discovered that the overlap between the army and the LDS worlds isn’t that big, meaning that everybody knows everybody. I’m thankful for all the people who opened their homes and kitchens for me this week.
I just want to grow up to be you. What an amazing adventure! You have a great attitude about the trials. We are thinking about you.
