I’ve been home from my mission over six months now. Six months?!? It’s amazing how fast time goes by. I still think about Thailand and my mission every single day. Miss it a lot. Those really were the best two years of my life so far — the Thais are a wonderful people and serving them by preaching the gospel is an incredible experience. Over the past six months I’ve found that it’s a lot harder than I expected to keep up on my language skills and keep in touch with my Thai friends, but I’m determined to keep at it because it’s a core part of me now. Someday I’ll go back to Thailand, of course, and hopefully will be able to return many, many times, but right now my financial and educational situation has me stuck here for a while.

Read a John Williams interview from Film Score Monthly. Pretty good. Also discovered JohnWilliams.org.
