"Meet your bishop"

Sunday May 6th

Said my mother.

Church is in Burns, a small town about an hour away. I say small, but to people out here (and me too now) it feels like a metropolis. This is where you shop for groceries and spare parts. Apparently I’ll be sent outhere on errands from time to time. This worries me because it’s a lot of driving with a lot of turns on a lot of long unmarked roads and the truck I will be driving is a stick. Guess who’s never driven stick before?

This girl right here.

Last night I slept well though getting to bed feltunnerving. It’s really quiet here. The house is really empty, and shutting my bedroom door felt unnerving. I fell asleep though, and woke up at 7.10 so I could be at the ranch manager’s house at 7.30 so that we could stop at their second house in Burns, then go to church which went from 10-1. Church was good, I let people know that I'd be going to their ward so we'll see how it goes.


Once I got back I decided to climb up the cliff thing behind my house.

My "house"

I can only imagine what day one of real work will bring. Hopefully not a dead cow or crashed truck but you never know…
