Houston Texas

Houston is a place where I served an lds mission. from 2006-2008. What an experience! I would do it again if I could. The aportunites and endless changes were awesome. I was expecting when I arrived barrane lands and tumble weeds, this is not H-town. The city is big and spacious. The surrounding areas are filled with developed subberbs. My area covered many miles south of the city. As I headed south in my areas, the land did get a little bit more barrane. There was much diverisity, not only with the geography but with the people. The culture there is very different, if not foreign then what I am used to growing up in Utah Valley. The people are very friendly for the most part and down to earth. They take much pride in there state and culture. I enjoyed observing what the Texans were like. The are proud of their barbequeing skills and southern food. I was feed very well most of the time. There was many religions there as, many christian churchs, muslum, hyndui, and even agnostics?atheists. I loved learning about these other religions. This mission I served has changed my life and I will reffer back to it the rest of my life. What a perculiar world we live in. I cant wait to learn of other cultures and area's of the world.
