Its a wonderful day in the Neighborhood

It is the first Sunday of my college experience and I am only going to ONE church service!  Can you believe it?  I know.  Odd.  I am adjusting to things and our dorm is scheduled to go to church from 1:30-4:30.  I have no clue who all will be in my new ward or how big it will be- so this should be exciting!  Plus, I get to fast this sunday to- since Santa Maria is special and had Fast Sunday a week early.  
After church I really need to find out where my classes are- I have a few of them in the same building, I just need to find out where the buildings are at.  

Yesterday was the last day of Get Connected.  We started it off with a morningside, then we learned about the school and the 'Spirit of Ricks'.  After that we had a service project- I think it is like amazing that we not only will be starting off Science class with a prayer, but that we start off the school year with Service Work.  Also- the Walmart here sells Book of Mormons.  Its amazing.

Also- there is a new mormon movie out, The Errand of Angels, it is about Sister Missionaries.  I havnt see it yet, but it is my new favorite movie.  =]

Yesterday was something called I- Night Extravaganza, which is like a big fair sort of for the whole school.  They had all sorts of games an activities and food- a lot of people went, but it was fun!  I rode a mechanical bull.  I didn't stay on long, but it was fun. =] ( sorry- no picture for that one.)  
So far I have seen 5 people I know- 3 from Santa Maria.  2 were people from EFY, then I saw Niccole Bendixen, another girl Emily I knew from Singles Ward, and Sister Jones- who served as a misisonary in our ward last may-november.  She is now actually married- But I will still call her Sister Jones.  =]  I got to meet her Husband yesterday- I approve.   It was so nice to see people I knew to!  
So, that is life in Idaho.  Someone told me yesterday that since it has been a cold winter, that means it will be a even colder winter- so there is a good chance we will have snow in a month.  Wow.  A snowy Halloween- how bizzare.

My new hair cut by the way.  =]       -------------->
