MTC Letter October 15, 2011

Hey guys! I miss you!! I'm here at the MTC, we got a short "P" day since we didnt get a chance to email on Thursday (which will be my usual P day after this) The food is awesome, well, it's not bad for mass production. They have exersise classes every morning for the sisters like yoga, kick boxing, pilates which is so nice!! Even though they're at 6am every morning. I am SO SORE!! And on top of that we have 45 mins of gym time. Sadly on our schedule it always falls after a meal!!! Yuck =( We also cant play soccer or basketball with the boys. Which is ok, but that means we're stuck with running on the track, weights, or volleyball (outside or inside) we went outside yesterday because it was so nice outside!!! The mountains are gorgeous, and our field is right next to the Provo temple so that's really nice too. We get to go to the temple on our P day and walk around the temple for an hr on Sunday. Thank goodness or I would feel trapped here. In just the few days that I've been here, it was a breath of fresh air being outside the MTC grounds. It's not that bad, but I'm sure in 3 weeks I'll be praying my Visa comes in so I can leave for civilization... And I thought Rexburg was a bubble!! It's not too bad. I can deal with it. I sent you guys a letter yesterday so hopefully you'll be getting it soon. We taught our first "investigator" yesterday. IN SPANISH!! He wasnt actually an investigator. He was a volunteer. Luckily my companion speaks a little spanish so she helped me out a lot. We're all learning all the gospel words since in school they typically dont teach you those kind of religious vocabulary words in school. What else... I only get 30 mins to email on P day so my emails may be a little short. I can write all day though. I also get letters/packages every day which is nice. Well, they deliver them every day lol. So if you want me to read something before Thursday, send it via snail mail. I have 9 other people in my district, 4 of the Elders are going to Long Beach California, Spanish speaking. And two are going to Colorado Springs (Morgan's mission!), also Spanish speaking. The other three are all sisters, who are awesome, and we are all going to Espania!! Sister Jorgenson is from Missouri, Sister Collett and my companion Sister Meldrum are both from Utah. They are all my room mates and are so so awesome!!! Yes I saw Mitch and he got me my scriptures. I rarely see him though. All of our schedules are different, there are HUNDREDS of elders and sisters here!!! Wednesday they had over 350 report! most from Utah of course =) so mom I probably wont find your friends daughter or Brother Price's nephew cause there are literally hundreds of missionaries in in the cafeteria and everything. I'll let you know if I happen to run into them though. I havent even been able to find Randall, he might be in my building because we're all Spanish speaking. We're right across from the gym, maybe you could find out where he's at and when his classes are, because like I said earlier, it's all different! The Spirit is so strong though!! I'm catching onto the Spanish sort of quickly I guess. Im working on praying and giving my testimony. Maybe I'll write it next time =) Well I miss you guys!! It's really weird not having a cell phone! haha, sometimes I still think I hear it. If you have any questions let me know!! I'll only get to write and email on P days just so you know. We dont really have time to anything else because we're either studying, learning, studying... or studying. It's so great though =)

Love you!!!
