Hey y'all,
I fly out to San Diego from Salt Lake tomorrow! The last six weeks of doing the MTC online have been interesting. I got a lot out of it and learned a lot of Spanish, but spending all day in the apartment on zoom has not been preferred haha. The best part about high school to me was being in class with other students, and being able to socialize with them in a way that’s just not the same when you’re not in person. We made the best of it though, and had a lot of fun! My teachers and my district have been super awesome, or as we like to say, Super Bien! I'm super excited, albeit a bit nervous, to finally get to San Diego!
I got an email from my mission with some more details about my first transfer. I will be starting off in a place about two hours inland from the coast of San Diego, in a place called Imperial. I'll start out with *two* companions! One of them is a district leader, his name is Elder Montague, and the other is Elder Bullock. So I think when I land tomorrow in San Diego, my companions and I will drive straight to Imperial.
Imperial is right by the Mexican border, so I will definitely be using Spanish from day one haha. I was also looking forward to the constant 70 degree weather of coastal San Diego, but that's going to have to wait! The weather in Imperial is going to be in the 110's all week... gonna be brutal out here! ;)
Exciting emails coming soon!
Elder Jaxon Pettit
