mission to the city was encouraging today. I am glad that i got to go if only for a few hours. God is doing some cool things in utah. i need to remember that on the days where i just don't want to be here. like on the every day lately that i just want to escape to the midwest and michigan. fourteen days is do-able.

i have been talking on the phone a little bit more lately. it is weird to hear someone's voice and know that they are far, far away. but i guess that is what a phone is for. yup, i need sleep...
