First week. Well, three days...

Hello family and friends!

I know that you probably don't even miss me yet because I have only been gone for 2 days, but here it goes anyways.

It is my first P-day here at the MTC and it has been quite the adventure. The first day was the most hectic. I said goodbye to my family and headed off to be taken on a maze of a tour that was so long. Then we went to class. There is hardly anytime to think here, but I like it okay. It is a little strange. I feel like I am learning so much, but at the same time nothing at all. We move from topic to topic so quickly, and I feel like I never have time to ponder or internalize anything which makes retaining the information more difficult. 

My companion is sister Edgley. She is very sweet and we have gotten along well.  She is from Utah, and while we don't have very many common interests, we have had fun getting to know each other better.  There is one other companionship in our district, and we are all headed to Redlands together. It is pretty exciting. We leave pretty quickly though really. It's less than two weeks that we will be here. 

Our teachers here are awesome. They help us feel the spirit so much, and we have been learning a lot about our purpose. 

You will all be surprised to hear that I am the early riser of my roommates. I share a room with my companion and the other sisters in our district. I have been the one that has to wake the other girls up so that we can be on time. Don't worry, it surprised me too. 

I have already received a calling that I will start on Sunday. Me and my companion are going to be the Sister Training leaders for our Zone. It is like zone leaders, but for the sisters. We are responsible for all the sisters in our zone and will give the new sisters the tour of the MTC next week . It is kind of cool, but I am not sure that it is really a big deal. I guess I will find out, huh?

I am no longer worried about gaining weight here. The food is all definitely what I would describe as 19 year-old-boy food. I eat, but our meals are also very close together, so I am not hungry by the time we get there. Oh well though, I am satisfied.

Well, there is not much more to talk about since I have only been gone for a couple of days, but remember that I love you and that I am doing the work that God has planned for me. 

Sister Hope :)
