More of the same good stuff this week! I'll admit that it was pretty strange to be here during the fourth of July, and not participating in all of Bear Lake's awesome festive events, but it was still cool. We got to watch the fireworks at the end of the day for about a half-hour, while eating ice cream, so that's never a bad thing! :) I don't really have much to say here at the MTC, because we just basically follow our schedule that has our day planned out to the second. Oh, except for my Las Vegas trip on the 2nd, on Wednesday! That doesn't happen everyday! It was cool to get out in the real world and talk to a couple of non-members a little bit about the church while on the planes there and back. I wasn't a huge fan of the 112 degree weather, and especially not while I was in a suit! I had to make a personal appearance there at the Mexican Consolate (I'm pretty sure I'm not spelling that word correctly, because it's being underlined in red, but that's alright) in order to receive my visa. Anyway, I hope you are all doing well, and know that I miss you and love you all, but also that I know I am doing the Lord's work, and can feel the Spirit testify to me that I am doing the right thing by being out here! Have a great week!Elder Budge
