Thanks so much for writing me a letter... I don't feel very loved right now. I guess I can forgive you guys. My p-day in this MTC is Fridays. It might change when I go to Guatemala though. I did send you guys a letter yesterday but we're waiting for our laundry and I didn't have a lot to do. Plus, I know you would probably want to here more. If not, well than don't read this. And I really hope this is going to the right email. I couldn't quite remember the address for verizon. So if this is the wrong address, than dad will just have to show everyone. And I might end up spelling some words en Espanol. I'm supposed to be practicing and actually have a hard time remembering how to spell some words in English. I hope that's a good thing.

Thanks so much for dropping off my scriptures! I couldn't believe that I left them in the car. The first day here was pretty crazy. I forgot those and they messed up the day when I was leaving. They put that I would be here for all 9 weeks. I was praying that was wrong because mis companeras, Hermana Spencer and Hermana Anderson, are leaving in 3 weeks. Or 2 1/2 now. BUt luckily they fixed it all and I'm leaving here the 28 (or the last Tuesday) of this month. I'm not sure if it's a better or worse thing for me. But I am trying to be positive so it will be better. I do love it here though. It will probably be harder than I thought to leave here. At least I will have the two hermanas coming with me.

So, the MTC... it's pretty awesome. It's cool that you have so many young adults in one place with the same goals and desires. It makes easier to stay focused. The companions that I have are awesome too. It's been fun getting to know them. They have already taught me so much. I feel like they know so much more. It is sometimes hard not to compare myself to others. Especially when they are getting a better grasp on the language and the lessons. I am really struggling with the language and I know it's only been 3 days but it's still hard. I feel like the elders are so much more prepared than I am. But I am trying not to think that way. I know through time and lots and lots and lots of praying, I will learn what I need to learn. It's been a struggle to speak up when we are doing teaching mock investigators but I am trying my hardest and trying to rely on the Spirit. Yesterday one of the teachers told us to read from preach my gospel about listening. In there, it said to not focus on what to say next but to sincerely listen and show interest in who is speaking. I found that I was trying to hard to form sentences and ideas and what i should say next, that I was really listening to the Spirit. So that's something that I will need to work on.

I didn't realize that on my first day, I would need to rely on the Lord as much as I did. But I soon realized that I need Him a lot! I have probably prayed to him in the last 3 days than I have ever prayed to Him in my whole life. And I've prayed harder to Him. You do learn very quickly that you cannot succeed here without completely relying on Him.

I am so grateful for you all. You all have played such a huge part in my life already and have helped me prepare for this time. It's hard not to miss and think about you guys but it's getting a little easier. I only cried on Wednesday night. Which is huge for me. I thought I would be more of a mess but I believe the Lord is helping me with that. I am trying to give the Lord 100% of my attention and energy.

Anyways, I have only 5 more minutes until my 30 minutes is up. But know that I love you and pray for you every day. I hope everything is going great! Tell me all about it!

I love you!!!

P.S. I would still love letters (hint, hint). And I'll send you a letter with my testimonio with it in espanol when I have a little extra time. Plus, I don't have my papers in front of me and I don't quite have it memorized.
