I had a talk with Carrie's roommate from last year who's still her friend now. I talked w/ her about how I'm feeling about Carrie. Amy told me some good advice and I'm feeling a lot better now. She told me about what happened w/ that other guy...it's not THAT bad, but it woulda hurt me to know about it. Now I realize that I must forget about that relationship because I can't know what the future holds and it's only gonna be distracting. Like they say...if it's meant to be, it'll happen. Only blessings result from going on a mission.
I went by Tony Portera's dorm room today. He served in Padova and it was cool to get to talk w/ him. He gave me some good advice too. I hope I'll turn out to be as good a missionary as he was. Well, I guess I'll start that process tomorrow!
ENTRY INTO MTC 2:00 P.M. WED OCTOBER 13, 1999
On the previous page is my poor attempt at drawing Carrie. They look nothing at all like her, but it was a nice try. Last night we went to Movies 8 to see Tarzan. There was a huge group of us, then when we got back to Dave's apartment...Carrie and I sat at the kitchen table together and talked and that's when I drew her. She was real uncomfortable with me looking at her so much but I made her do it because I really wanted to draw her. We got along very well last night, it was just like old times. I'm glad because I didn't want to leave on weird terms.
Today I'm hanging out with Dave and going to all of his classes until I go into the MTC at 2:00. I'm dressed in my suit because time is gonna be tight between the end of Dave's classes and my entry time.
I saw my R.A. from last year, Eddie Lehnart. He's an R.M. and it was cool to talk w/him. He seems excited for me. It still hasn't hit me yet, but I'm sure it will right about 2:00 today.
I'm sitting in Dave's Gospel Doctrine class right now and I just realized something...I've been really nervous but I just came to the realization that I don't need to be because I won't be alone. I won't be alone in any way. That is a great relief. |
