Week 2ish, New York!

Well, week 2 has begun and gone for a little, I finished up at the MTC, took pictures with all of my teachers (will upload those when I get to a computer that can :P) and got sent off into the wild blue yonder. Got on the plane to Georgia, took about 3 hours, and made it there on time. It was nice, we had a 2 hour layover (the airport was HUGE), and then we left on a small little plain for the airport in White Plains NY. I didn't manage to fall asleep on either flight (whyyyyyyyyyyyyy), so I was awfully tired. Met President and Sister Morgan at the airport, they're amazing and I love them so much. We then loaded up all the luggage and went to the Mission Home (it's over 100 years old and very pretty, I didn't get to take pictures though), and had a humongous dinner after talking to the rest of the mission presidency and the other missionaries. We then had a kind of testimony/introduction meeting, and then crawled off to bed. There were these weird bugs in our room (I think they were weevils of some sort, or possible stinkbugs, who knows), so we hunted down as many as possible before going to sleep. We woke up, had a ginormous breakfast, then I found out where I was ending up. I'm currently in the Manhattan South area, the one with Union Square and a bunch of other cool stuff, and I got a new companion, Elder Wang (pronounced Wong). He's from north eastern China, and is very kind. I think we're going to get along, we'll see! Our apartment is nice (has like 3-4 locks), and we share it with another set of missionaries (our zone leaders actually, and Elder Wang is the district leader). I've already been on the subway/buses a LOT (passed through Grand Central Station too!), and I have to teach a lesson tonight! Hopefully everything is going well over there. Love you all!
