First Letter

Heyyyy, so MTC life am i right? Its pretty crazy that I'm here and it doesn't feel real about 99% of the time. The first day was super overwhelming. The whole time you are thinking, "whyyyyyy did I want to do this??" but the day went by pretty fast and it pretty much is just a big blurrrr. So the only thing i really remember is this... When you get to the MTC they give you your missionary name tag and it has a red dot sticker on it so the missionaries who have been here longer know you are new.  Whenever you walk past anyone they say, "WELCOME TO THE MTC!!!!!!" and your kinda like uhhhhh k. so me and my companion and the 2 other sisters in my district came out of class and were trying to find the cafeteria building. If you haven't been to the mtc before, at first its pretty much like a giant maze. It was so easy to get lost. So we came out of class to get dinner and start walking to what we think is the dinner building. We realize we have NO idea where we are. So we all kinda stop and are saying stuff like "Which building is it??" "Where are we?!" hahaha I spin around and there is this map of the MTC (Like the ones they have at the Mall) that has a star that says you are here. hahah I look at the map and I realize that the building that we are looking for is rigggghhhhttttt behind me. hahaha I say " OH ITS RIGHT HERE!!" and right when I say that this huge group of Elders walk by and say "Welcome to the MTC sisters!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA," then they laughed for like a solid 30 seconds. I felt soooo dumb. hahaha. that was the BEST part of day 1. 

I only slept like 3 hours the first night. ITS WAS ROUGH. but I have slept really good for the rest of the nights.

the second day was supes spiritual. I learned a ton. It made me not even worry about my choice to come here! 

pretty mush the rest of the days have been the same! jam packed and so so so much information. I love that I am here and get the chance to grow and change and become more like Christ! I love teaching and helping others come closer to Christ! Love you all! have gr8 weeks!
