CIAO A TUTTI!! Finally in Kansas! Manhattan Kansas wahoo! I got here Wednesday! Manhattan is on the eastern side ish... and very humid! Kansas is very flat and superrr open and pretty! Buuut Manhattan is definitely one of the hillier places in Kansas so it's not just open fields forever here haha! Driving from the airport and around for different conferences and things has been super fun to see the state a little bit more :) My trainer is Sister Wirick and she is awesome! She is from Florida and this is her first time training so it's new learning for both of us haha! We are serving in a YSA branch, which is a little tough right now because many of our branch members are moving away for school, but we're also getting new ones moving in so we are hopeful to find some more people there! Highlights for my days here: - the drive from Wichita to Manhattan. We passed so many long fields of corn and wheat and they seemed to go on forever! SO pretty! - 59 MOSQUITO BITES...

Here are the highlights! - MET MY COMPS IN PERSON!!! We all live in Utah so we met at my house for lunch! It. Was. So. Fun. I absolutely adore them!

I am always shocked at how good of friends we all are even though we had only talked over screen! I am so lucky! - ZOOM FESTA with the best district ever! Big zoom meeting with my district just to talk and be together and play some nice games over zoom!
