Awesome MTC Adventures!!

Hello!! =)
So Adventures at the MTC! <3 The cafeteria is huge! The people are absolutely the BEST! They're so Amazing! So I'm not really sure what I was expecting it to be like, but it's still awesome! =) So it is hard but not in the way you would think it is (at least not in the way I thought it would be..).  But everything is OK! =) The bookstore has like almost, if not everything you could possibly need! Shirts, snacks, ziploc bags, paper, envelopes, and all kinds of stuff! It's crazy!

My District is Awesome! The BEST! =) I'm having such a good time! I do recommend Not forgetting things though. Make like 3 check lists, put it on the fridge, by your bed, on your mirror.. and pack the day before you leave unless you can pack sooner! =) If you come to the Provo MTC you HAVE to smell the cream soda tree!!! It's amazing!=)Make sure you read, read, and re-read the dress and grooming site.

It's SO AMAZING here!!I'm learning SO much it's crazy! There's like 3,000 Missionaries here it's so wonderful!!!! I Love it here! Anyone thinking about going on a mission, I'm not going to tel you to go, but you should seriously consider it. =)

Oh my goodness! my companion is Awesome! She put a letter in the mailbox, you know the big blue boxes, and then she read the note that said international postage went up so the letter didn't have enough stamps so we go to the bookstore and mail room to ask if there's a anything we/they could do to get it back to put more stamps on it, because it was really important that it get to the recipient on time and the people in the bookstore said wait out the mailman! =) So at around the the he was supposed to come we sat on the benched near the mail box and waited and waited for like 30 minutes it felt like. Eventually we had to give up and go to class so my companion left a note with stamps in it for the mail person asking if they would put the stamps on it! She described the envelope and everything! It was Awesome!! =)

The Temple is so pretty, we all went on a Sunday walk to the Temple and it was Awesome! We took pictures and just had such an amazing time! It's crazy how close it is we seriously just walk across the street and wham! You're there! Lol! =) The gym is huge and so is the campus!It's so beautiful! =) <3 I Love it! <3 The Elders here are so amazing! They like take our trays at meal times and gave everyone in our district a blessing it was so nice! =) So everyone except for me and Elders Croy and Mika are going to Minnesota, Minneapolis, and so yeah it's awesome! =) We discovered that of the sisters, I had to wait the least amount of time from when I got my call and Elders Croy and Mika, got their calls at the beginning of April! Crazy! =) We all got to the MTC the same day so yeah.. Pretty amazing stuff =)

Ok I have to go, talk to you soon! <3 =)
Love,

Called to Serve!!!


 I'm serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!! I'm so excited I can't stop smiling!! I'm so grateful for all the wonderful people around me that have helped me prepare to serve! I feel truly blessed! I will be entering the missionary training center (MTC) on May 15th and then will move on to labor in the Ogden Utah area for the remainder of my mission! I am so excited, I've never been on a plane before or been to Utah so this is a big adventure for me!


  

The day after I received my mission call it was sunday and I was in class and was asked to read a scripture it was D&C 31: 3 "Lift up your heart and rejoice, for the hour of your mission is come; and your tongue shall be loosed, and you shall declare glad tidings of great joy unto this generation" It was so exciting!! How perfect!! I was sitting with my friend who was also preparing to leave to serve a mission and we both poured over the section in excitement!! It was awesome!! 


When we arrived at the airport to fly to Salt Lake we met a friend unexpectedly, it was so exciting because we ended up being on the same flight!! How cool, we had no idea that we would be flying together, it worked out great!! It's amazing how the Lord works. 

Utah is so different, there are no trees, you can see for miles! There are Temples and church buildings everywhere!! It's awesome!! I can't wait to get to Ogden where they are currently reconstructing the Ogden temple it would be so cool if it opens before my mission is over. That would be so exciting!
