0 for 2

Hi Ben,

We had nearly a full day in the car. It was a very gorgeous drive, from West Yellowstone, to Bozeman Montana, to the north entrance. That was 3 hours. Then the drive within the park was maybe another 3, then 3 back to the hotel. I’m not used to parks that are that developed. There was some pretty big buildings both old and new within a few hundred yards of the biggest natural feature, mammoth hot springs. I’m not sure how my photos go through, so I made a collage I’ll attach here.

The rest of the drive consisted of soaring vistas, waterfalls and fauna. 

Tomorrow we’ll head over to the West entrance area. With old faithful. I’ll send you another collage of that. We’ll go home after that, so it may be Sunday before my next report.

In other news...looks like I’m 0 for 2 on these recent round of interviews. I was nicely told I was over qualified but not qualified enough. I felt pretty frustrated when I got the email. There is a chance of some freelance from it. I was glad I was with the family when I got the news. I was able to talk it through with your mom. We both suspect that neither of those jobs are what I want. We also agree that it’s hard to wait. As I was talking it over with you mom, and praying in my heart for answers, I felt a very peaceful feeling, almost excitement for what’s to come. Ironically, this is the first time in the two months since this happened that I have nothing in play. I keep asking Heavenly Father to show me what do do, the answer always comes back to just wait. This is very difficult for me to do as I believe action leads to blessings. So far far my actions have led to activity, interviews, and ultimately frustration. Am I really supposed to just wait? Do I have that kind of faith? I guess we’ll see.

Love you kid. Every time I write you about this I wonder if I share too much with you, then I do it every letter anyway. Again, and I cannot restate this enough. I have faith, in God, in prayer, in gifts of the Spirit and that we’ll be fine. I’m also imperfect in patients, I too often indulge fear, and fall prey to insecurity. It’s the battle i wage everyday.
