One of Chase's letters said: There were 509 Missionaries that checked in on June 29th the second largest group ever. There were 20 Russian Speakers the largest Russian group ever. So that was really cool to learn. My district is below the sisters dorms and one night the fire alarm went off. Apparently a girl was straiting her hair and her straitner started to smoke. She was really lucky that it was before lights out because let me tell you I need my sleep. Some of my roomamtes make fun of the dark blue circles under my eyes. I feel like I am always tired. But we had a devotional speaker say if your not tired then you aren't being a missionary so I guess that means I'm being a pretty good one hahah.
