So my companions name is Sister Pettet. She's from Idaho, loves Billy Joel, has a scar from a penguin, and just graduated high school. She's great, we are already learning so much from each other. She is very good with words, so we balance each other out!! She's very nice and is helping me teach a lot My district is so great. We have 4 sister's going to Michigan and they are awesome we are with them all the time. Two of us are from Idaho, and two of us are from Utah. One of them named sister Mathis, went to Utah State so we could have met! I wish we would have because she's so funny. More stories to come with her. The Elders are also great, they're all going to Canada. One of them is from Scotland and has the coolest voice!! Also his name is Elder Winkle so that's cool!
So Thursday we were learning how to teach. It was challenging, I felt like I had my brain in a taffy puller but it was great! The girls in our residency are so cute!! They are both going to North Carolina and we get along great!! We also got these cool things we call bundgie badges....They clip on to our skirts and hold our ID cards we had fun with them...Maybe too much...
Friday I taught my first lesson and It was hard! Its hard to figure out how to go by the spirit in a lesson. Today at dinner they had cheesecake....Sister Mathis and I wanted Cheesecake sooo bad but they ran out when we got to it. She was super bummed....but then we noticed the cheesecake had returned....so we sat there and stared at it longingly and some blessed elders said "You sisters want some?" So we got some cheesecake.....and we had doughnuts with our resident hall later that night....I won't get fat I promise.... I had a spiritual experience with sister Willis role playing talking about prayer..... It was great.
Saturday. So today sister Pettet and I had a bonding experience talking about celebrity crushes, she has good taste in boys so we bonded over that. We also had a great lesson with a member named Milka!! She has such great faith she's a convert!! Also everything is sooooo funny in the MTC. Sister Mathis was being hilarious because she was role playing dropping chastity pamphlets and with her email hidden in them and giving them to elders....No worries she didn't do that to elders because that is flirting.... She just did it to a lot of sisters pretending they were elders. Also I met Hannah's boyfriend today!!
Sunday was SO great. We had an awesome devotional about feeling the spirit and the scripture that helped me decide to go on a mission (DandC 6:23) or maybe 23 came up and I cried....Being a missionary is awesome. Also I met Hannah's boyfriend today. He seems great congrats on that Hannah, we got an awkward picture together I'll send it too you.
Today is P day and we went to the temple and that was so awesome!! I was feeling a little overwhelmed and I thought about Christ will always give us his grace and we are not in this alone....The temple is the best!!
Oh and weird thing... I'm busy a lot so I don't worry about weird things like being homesick or eating....or being tired! I think it's divine help!!
