Is it true that time goes by faster as we get older? If so, why is that? I am almost at awe that we are a little over a week away from Thanksgiving. Being new to California (and reminiscing about home a little bit), I remember during Thanksgiving lunch talking about how I was at the mid-point of one Thanksgiving and had only one more to spend in California. Someone jokingly replied, "Yeah, and you have about 11 months that follow that." While I still have a long road ahead, realistically, if the hourglass were to measure a two year period of time then that which has past outweighs that which is remaining and quickly going from the present to the past.
Well it's the eve of another transfer. I've had a lot of great experiences here in Dixon, most of which I hope to share at another date. I would not mind staying another 1-1/2 months at the very least. While there isn't anyone at the moment who we are teaching on a consistent basis, we have been able to teach and help a lot of interesting people. Unfortunately, my e-mail time is shorter today than it is most days. Our day off today has actually been cut in half since we're going up to Sacramento to see the temple on Thursday. Not to mention that our ride for grocery shopping took an extra twenty minutes to complete their shopping and we didn't get to the library until close to lunch time.
May this little note let you know that I'm alive and well. I'll let you all know next week whether I have a change of address or whether I'll be ringing in the New Year here in Dixon. I also hope to fill you in on any new people we may teach in the coming week. Thank you for the cards, e-mails, and packages. My thoughts and prayers are with you all constantly. I hope you work to make your week a great one! Stay warm. :)
