Hey Family!

First of all, what happened in Paris?? Like, we hear all about it but
have no idea what it even was...?

Anyway, Sounds like things are super fun and crazy all at once! We are
kinda in the same boat :) ooh tell McKenna to come find me! Just
kidding. That's apostate. Don't do that. Well  let me answer you some
questions about transfers! Yes I am in Marble Cliff but the funny
thing is at we don't think Marble Cliff Village is even in our area
hahaha I am in the THICK of Columbus and it's the most glorious thing
ever. Our ward ranges all from Upper Arlington (the rich kids, kinda
like Powell) to Hilltop (the ghetto of the ghetto, my dream land). I
really like it here, there is so much diversity! We are often the only
white kids on the block and in our apartment complex all we hear is
Mexican music so that's where the Spanish elders tract a lot haha.
It's really a great place! My new companion is sister Farmer! She is
from Centerville and graduated in 13 from Viewmont AND has diabetes.
Can you believe I've already has companions from kaysville, bountiful,
and Centerville?? Crazy.

Let me tell you about my first experience in marble cliff. We strapped
my bike on the car and went off to a lesson that we were already late
to. We hop on he freeway and we're driving when all of a sudden my
bike literally just flies off the bike rack, like WHAT? Tender mercy
#1: it didn't hit/kill people behind us. Tender mercy #2: since we
were in the fast lane it just found its way straight to the side
against the barrier.Tender mercy #3 the shoulder happened to be on the
left side so we could pull over really sketchily. Tender mercy #4 we
only had to walk like maybe 1/4 miles each way down the freeway to
retrieve the bike. Tender mercy #5 none of the flying semis hit us, or
blew us quite hard enough to knock us over. Tender mercy #6 the bike
has pretty minimal damage. Tender mercy #7 even though my hair was a
disgusting rats nest after ward we were on Columbus so NO ONE CARES :D
but seriously though the whole thing was hilarious and we still laugh
about it. So do the missionaries that drove past us. :}

Well our day is kinda crazy today so I don't have a whole bunch time
or much more to say but I love you all and even though I've never been
more exhausted in my whole life I've never been more happy!
