1 Week Down!!

Well hello family!

You should be excited! Why? Because this is your first email from Hermana Love! Yay! And I survived my first week, Thanks to my 2 companions, Sister Cruz, and Sister Thompson. We have been having a great time. Also I have already learned a lot! I've learned to both pray and bear my testimony in Spanish. However it still needs improvement. People aren't joking when they say you go and go and go all day long. But it's great I feel so productive. My district is way awesome as well. We are like family. This district includes me and my 2 companions, and 3 sets of Elders. All but one companionship in our district is going to California, Arcadia. Me and my companions as well as our whole district joined the MTC choir, which is funny because whenever we sing in class we don't sound so good, because we are concentrating, so much on how to say the words instead of on how the tune goes, but I think we do better at choir where it's English. Anyway those rumors about the MTC food being gross, is not true! I mean it's not the best but it's still good. On Sundays we have firesides, so this past Sunday our fireside was given by Scott B. Allen who is the missionary director. Anyway it was exactly what I needed to hear, he basically talked about how as missionaries we experience all sort of turbulence and said not to let it get us down. It was great! Then last night we had our first devotional where we, the MTC choir sang come thou fount. Our Speaker was Brother Richard G. Edgley who is a counselor in the presiding bishopric. He gave a great talk as well, telling us how important our call was, and that we are all equal because we all hold the mantle to carry and share this gospel. he said we are the most prepared missionaries because of all the resources we have. Also I love all the letters you wrote me which was no one, except Stacey and Troy oh and apparently I have a package which I'm going to pick up after this which I assume is from Mom, but I could be wrong. Well we don't get a lot of time and my time is almost up, so I'll probably write a letter as well today! Love you all much!!!!

Love, Hermana Love
