So I got to the MTC just fine. I actually got here early but it didn't
matter because we had 4 people get here late.
My sister escort (I didn't catch her name) was super nice. She helped me roll all of my bags around and
took me to get checked in. There are
people there who put your name tag on for you.
It was a magnet so I didn't have to worry about getting poked. We were also given a second name tag with a
pin, a key for our room and an MTC card.
The card opens all of the doors, gets us food, and has $8 a week for
vending snacks and small bookstore purchases.
We have eight people in our district (including me) All of the sisters and one Elder are going to
my mission and the other three elders are going to Texas. We have the 4 of us in one room we have bunk beds
so there are two empty beds. My
companion is Sister S, she is from Virginia and she is super nice we are
getting along great. Same with the other
two sisters. Sister P and Sister
S. We always eat meals together
and walk around as a group. The MTC is
really hard to navigate every building looks the same. Our days are very scheduled and we can barely
find a 5 min break to go to the bathroom.
I was able to unpack most of my suitcase into the closet. We will be leaving Dec 9th because we were
supposed to come next week but they had us come early so we wouldn't be coming
so close to thanksgiving. Also the
sisters and Elder that are going to my mission also only had 5 weeks between
their call and report date so I am not alone.
My Pday will be Thursday which means I can't go to the temple because it
is closed for the holiday. We have had
lots of time to study and yet it still doesn't feel like enough time. We also have classes that are really
long. We are currently having our
teachers pretend to be investigators so that we can practice. My companion is super nice and talkative but
unsure of herself. Her personality is
like a mix between Rachel and Kaitlin which is perfect and we teach well
together. She told me today that I
remind her of her sister. I have taken
some pictures and will continue to do that. I love you all and hope that all of the
Scrooge performances go well. Oh I am
the senior companion. We will switch
about half way through our time at the MTC.
Love Sister
