So I didn't get to say everything I wanted in my email, so I wrote a paper letter. I've had so much to do today that I just ran out of time.
I forgot to tell you that on my "explorer day" I chose to take a tour of the Conference Center since it's a tour I have to know for visitors! haha I remember I've been there before when it was brand new and watched "The Testaments" movie, but other than the ridiculously large bathrooms that spit you out on the other side of the building, I didn't remember anything.
The artwork is absolutely incredible! It's all original! I didn't know that and I fell in love with the Arnold Friberg room. So amazing! I didn't know the story behind those paintings. There were also 2 paintings of the story of Alma the Younger and I loved them both. I've decided that I'm going to have lots of artwork prints and paintings in my future home. haha.
I also toured the Beehive House and saw Clarissa Young's room! That was cool.
It is much harder than I anticipated to talk to people on the Square. I had a guy yell at me and throw out some Bible verses in my face. haha That was exciting. And it's so hard to talk to members about missionary work...especially because I have a guilty conscience because I never wanted to talk to the missionaries either! ahaha But as anticipated, it is SUPER hard to talk to people on the phone!!! ahaha But I power through it each day. One day I won't want to barf as I dial the number, right?! At least that's what the other sisters here tell me!
I am discovering a new-found love for Temple Square; it truly is an amazing and sacred place with so much history! Mom, I got to go to "Music and the Spoken Word" last Sunday morning!!! It was awesomely fabulous! I thought of you the whole time. You have to go some time! Come on up! haha
It's been very eye opening to talk to people. I realize more and more everyday just how blessed I am to have the gospel, my family, my health, an education--the list just goes on and on. I am amazed at the love I feel for everyone I talk to. If they could only understand how the gospel could change their lives! It is hard to see people reject it, but feels so incredible when you can see and feel the light come on in their eyes and in their lives. It makes everything worth it! I'm so happy to be a missionary and and be challenged and grow and learn. Thanks for letting me have this opportunity.
I love you all so much! Hugs and kisses and SCARY MONSERS! haha
Muah, Hermana "T-Square" Dalton
