And there it goes. I'm officially not a teenager anymore. WHAT? Didn't see that one coming. I swore that I was gonna be 18 for another 5 years or something. Apparently not...
My birthday here was awesome. Simple, but wonderful. I got various calls from old companions, sung to several times, surprised with cookies in the morning, and cake at night. I LOVED opening up my letters from my family. It was fun to see their writing and hear from them. The package was great as well, but the letters were better still! President Farnes can only pass by the office on Mondays with how far he lives, but I was chatting with him about some stuff when another elder walks in and tells President that it was my birthday. I got taken to lunch by him, which was also super fun. It was an all around cool day and I felt really good.
Beyond that, I haven't had too much of an "exciting" week. I've had to be cooped up in the office most of the time typing up the baptism records for all of November. They're due this week, and lots of people just hadn't turned them in. I'm almost done though, and then things will calm down a little more until January!
I don't have much for this week, but I'm seriously grateful for all the birthday wishes and the friendships that I have. I love you all! I'm especially grateful for my family and the people they are and the lessons they've taught me. I am who I am because of them! I hope that everyone has a great week! Work hard everyone!
