Elder Narayan called me on Tuesday afternoon from the airport. It was so exciting to talk to him. I can't believe he will be in the mission home tonight and out in the field. Kenyon and I both remembered our first night in the mission field. It was lonely, you don't really know your companion and you're in a foreign country for the next 1-1/2 to 2 years.
I guess sometimes it's hard to appreciate the freeedoms and the country we have until you live in a different country. I remember when I landed in Florida on my way back home to Hawaii from Chile when I looked out the window and saw the US flag I started to cry. It was such an overwhelming feeling to be back on US soil, even though I was still about 12 hours away from Hawaii. I am so grateful to be a citizen of the United States.
