First P-Day E-Mail Letter from the MTC!

Hey Parents and Sisters!!!!

It´s finally P day and I can finally write you!  I can´t believe it´s been 7 days!!!  It´s so crazy!  The first few days were all a blur and a daze, and we were all trying to get where we were supposed to be at the right time and it was just insane.  I can´t believe how much I feel the Spirit here.  I feel it ALL the time!  It's insane!  I hope all is well.  I only have a half hour to email so tell the kids the best way to get a hold of me is to send me letters that way I have time to email you, dad, and dad, and I can spend all the time I want writing letters on P-day. 

Where do I even begin...

My companion is AMAZING!!!! Her name is Sis. Szuch (Dutch with a Z sound instead of D)  She is so sweet and she has been an amazing companion.  She's a 4/2 and we work sooooo well together.  In our investigator practices with our teachers, our teachers are all just amazed how unified we are and how spiritual our lessons are and how we really touch their investigator characters.  We taught a real investigator yesterday and we actually were able to commit him to baptism if he reads and prays about the Book of Mormon.  It was the most beautiful lesson about the restoration of the Gospel and the Spirit was just sooooo strong.  I love Sis. Szuch to death and we help each other grow in so many ways.

My roommates, Sis. Huvey and Sis. Tran are tons of fun too. All four of us sisters are going to New York Rochester! I'm so glad we all get along and we all seem to really get each other.  My district is amazing.  We have astonishing Elders who have incredible stories and amazing testimonies.  I'm so lucky to be in the District I'm in.  I'm Music Coordinator for my zone :D!!!  I get to pick all the hymns we sing every day and lead during our Sacrament Meetings. 

 I'm trying to figure out how to get pictures on, but it looks like I won't be able to send pictures til I'm out in the mission field.  Which reminds me.  I'm actually in the MTC for 4 weeks! I have 3 weeks of regular training and then a week of visitor center training where we will be able to go up to SLC and train on Temple Square for a couple days that last week.  So I will be in the MTC til about January 7/9th-ish. 

This experience is amazing (hard but amazing)

The Church is true

The Spirit is strong

I will go and do

I love you ALL so very much and miss you a ton!

LOVE YOU!!!
