Wow, October flew by faster than September. Which was faster than August. It's getting kinda scary how fast time goes by. In the scriptures...not sure where, it mentions a "shortening of days". I'm pretty sure it's talking about these last days. They are getting shorter and shorter. 

 

So, today I got a letter and found out that one of my friends is married and having a kid next year. I was shocked. I knew he would be getting married soon, but a BABY?!?!? I'm so glad I don't have to worry about that kind of stuff right now. And I wont have to...for a long time. :) Ok so maybe like 5 years? or less? idk. Life...*sigh*. 

 

 Being a missionary right now is very exciting. I'm kinda sad because I will not be involved with "normal" missionary work for the last 6 months of my mission. 

In the Deaf Branch, it's different. It's like we are the exception to everything. We have permission to do a lot of things that other missionaries simply cannot do. I won't go into details about that but it's fun sometimes. Being in the Branch sorta excludes me from the regular life of a missionary. So I won't get to experience the same things as other missionaries. I guess I'm happy about that. 

 

I can say that my mission was truly unique. So can everyone...but mine is more unique hahaha! How many missionaries can say that they served a sign language mission? Probably less than 2% of all the missionaries. Just a guess...? So I feel special. Yay.

 

I sent a letter to you people. Enclosed is a letter to Gma. I'm guessing the words are much too small for her eyes to read, so someone will have to read it to her. Thanks.

P.S. I'm not really growing a beard. ;)
