okay seriously I have been dying to email since the day I got here! Life is CRAZY. they give us no time to do anything so hopefully I can send some pictures to you today but if not then probably on Wednesday if I have more time since that's my p-day! So yeah the MTC is great. Don't get me wrong, it is sooooo hard. Like the hardest thing I've ever done, but this truly is the work of the Lord. Before I forget, I wanted to share some funny/awesome/awkward things that have happened since I got here:
1. My first night here.. like five hours into the mission... my comp and I were talking about how we could lie and say that we are from a different country. idk why but we were tired and that's what we were talking about haha so anyway I said I could pass for Icelandic and then I was like "wait what language do they speak there?" And some elder turns around and is like "they speak Dutch" and I was all, "Okay, thanks elder!" And then he goes, "YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVED THAT!" and just like starts dying laughing. And then I realized that they speak flipping ICELANDIC. Who would've thought. Sister Hill coming in with a bang.
2. There are four sisters in my branch. That's it and like 20 elders. hahahaha yaaa odds are in my favor........ totally kidding!
okay so my comp is named Sister Hulme. She's great and is from Utah. Then there are two other sisters in our District, Sister Peel and Sister Bird. Both from Utah. Diverse, I know. My district is awesome. I love the elders! They all just graduated and so they're like little babies haha but they're so funny and we all fail together and laugh about it :) OH and also my comp and I are STLs! (sister training leaders) I know it's like a way bigger deal out in the field but it's a good experience for us. We are like girl DLs. And we get to help train the newbies on wednesday so that will be fun! And we have a phone... but if you call the number it will hang up on you. So don't even try haha
This has been a crazy three days and my brain is fried but I am so happy. Know that I am great and am progressing in the Gospel more than I ever have before. I feel the Savior with me always and I'm so grateful for that. This is truly God's work and I've come to know that. We only have 1 investigator right now and she's not even techinically a real one, but I love her so much already! It's amazing how I am beginning to see people as God sees them. SO COOL!
K well I will write you guys a letter soon and send that. Sorry I don't have much time. I will try and send pictures wednesday. I love you all and am grateful for your letters and everything! SEND ME MORE THEY MAKE MY DAY!!!!! Remember to pray and rememeber that you can do all things through Christ. He's amazing so LET HIM IN!
LOVE YOU TIMES 1000000000.
PS- Mom... you should send me a burner phone? I heard those are better to call you with at the airport... then I just throw it away. Just let me know if you are and then I won't buy a calling card. xoxoxoxoxxo
