Happy Halloween!!

First of all, I would like to say how grateful I am that there are other girls, Missionary Girlfriends, with whom I'm able to develop friendships. I am always so inspired by your blogs, videos and posts on our facebook group. Basically, it's just an awesome feeling knowing girls who are doing the same things and going through the same things as you are. To all of the MGs who read this, I'd like to say a massive thank you for all your support and friendship! You are all AWESOME. :)

So, after about 4 weeks, I finally got a letter from Matthew (I truly feel for the girls that have to wait months on end! More power to ya!). It was a this-is-what-I'm-doing type of letter, which was great because it's nice to hear about his experiences. He is now the Senior companion, and I hear that brings on extra responsibilities. I had asked him in a previous letter to give me sort of a day in his life. In reply, he gave me the full rundown titled, "One Day in the Life of Elder Parks". I got excited about it, so I typed it up and taped his schedule to my bedroom wall. Then, during anytime of the day, I can see what he's doing. I just love it!

School is moving along smoothly! I am now 6 credits away from being a Sophomore and I am very excited about that. I take about 2 weeks maximum to study a subject before I take the test and it can be very CRAZY, yet I manage to pull through and pass them (most of the time). :) I know I owe all of my success in school to Heavenly Father. I have no idea how many prayers I've said in the middle of studying. Fortunately, when you go through each subject in such a short time, you don't get bored as easily. There's definitely variety!

Guess what! I'm getting ready to learn German! AHHH!!!! I bought an online course through BYU to learn from. I'm not planning to have it count as any school credit. I'm just taking it for fun and I can't wait. I'm still waiting to get my paper booklet and CD to get started. It looks like I'm going to have to be patient... You'd think I would've mastered patience by now, right? :)

I had thought Russian might be an interesting language to learn. All I can say is "interesting" describes it very well. I decided to look up Russian and this is what I found: Летучая мышь. Needless to say, I decided to stick with German. :D

I wish you all a very Happy Halloween! I will be at work tonight, so....
