Dear Family,
I just wanted you all to know that I'm doing well! It helped that I knew the Elder who helped me with my bags, and Courtney Schultz's mom welcomed me and put my nametag on. A sister who's going to Kale's mission then showed me to my room and to my classroom! Our district, oh! Wait! My companion is Sister Israelsen! She is awesome, so sweet and loves photography! We BOTH love photography! We are the only sisters in our district! Four Elders are the other part of our district. Sis. Isrealsen and I are the loudest ones in there, if that tells you anything.
So we went to class. Bruder Liddle is our teacher! He's great! I couldn't speak much, but I can understand some. Most words are very similar! Then we had MTC Presidency welcome! 360 missionaries came in today. It's the first time since the Summer of 2013 that all the new missionaries stay on this campus (not in Raintree). There's about 2,000 missionaries here at this MTC! Crazy! Then we had dinner at 4:00! (4!!!) We met Zone leaders and had a People & Purpose lesson!
There's six beds, and four girls in my room! So we made an extra closet into a food closet!
My P-day is on Wednesday! I'll email you then! Can you please sent me my LDS account username and password? I don't have it with me, and I kind of need it to email! So send it in a letter please! I'm doing great! Im loving it! Love you!
Love -
PS Please send me Savannah's notebook. We use a lot of paper!
This just makes me smile. A lot!
ReplyDeletei loved your letter miss missionary. so informative and your personality comes through. something you said really resonated with me and i wanted to tell you. candice i and were sitting at an outside table in a restaurant in malaga, spain with our matt and he said this exact thing: "Even though I miss home, and the food, and my family and friends, I’m truly loving it here! This is where I’m supposed to be!" maybe all missionaries say that, but i think its really neat that you young adults can feel that way and have such great testimonies. its inspiring. on the same trip, the ship candice and i were on all the other passengers were german so we like to pretend that we learned german on the elevator. when the elevator would empty we would laughingly try some of our 'words' out. we still tease we can speak german as we fill our sentences with gutteral, long unlikely sounding words. good luck with that! if you need any help, ask candice haha! i would like to see you standing next to your basketball team. craig was a really good basketballer even though he was shorter than everyone because he could dart in and out of everyone--they called him fancy footwork! sorry about talking about 'us' so much. we love you and are proud of you. you are going to have a great time! take care! aunt pattie
