First Email From the MTC!!!!!

Ok. Its crazy here! so you know how im in a trio companionship? not anymore... Sister Vilet left to go home a couple of days ago...its sad because she was awesome, and me and my other companion Sis. Cottrell dot really click. shes nice, but its been a struggle. im a pretty chill person, and shes the complete opposite. so its been super awkward. i want to play sports, she would rather do personal study...but im trying and i know she is too...ok i know i keep saying this but I LOVE MY DISTRICT!!! its funny because half of them are from Arizona going to Idaho, and Idaho going to Arizona! i dont have any pics with them but i will soon! they are all so funny and goofy, but so spiritual at the same time! i love hanging out with them but Sis. Cottrell doesnt lol. WERE THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE! it cracks me up.We went to the temple today and it was super awesome! we did initiatories at the end too and that was really cool! for all the questions people keep asking me.. The food is super good!, yes Mom, i am eating...and yes im getting all yalls packages!! its so funny because i get a package slip every day and my district freaks out and there like "OMG your family must love you a lot! you get non stop mail and packages for days!!" classes are so awesome! i literally am mind blown E V E R Y  D A Y. its crazy. i learn so much stuff here that i didnt even know exists. i love it. OH our first investigator we taught was trevor... the whole class had to teach him at different times. we were all excited and scared to meet him, and me and my companions were the first to teach him. so our teacher walked us to the room, said hold on let me check if hes in there, he walks in and shuts the door and doesnt come out... we were like, uhhh????? so i look through the peep hole and hes just standing in there... TREVOR our INVESTIGATOR was our TEACHER!!! we were like omg, are we really teaching him? so we knock on the door and he was acting and it was sooooo awkward. we did horrible haha! i think we taught the Restoration? idk i just remember it was BAD. we all got to teach him like 3 times. one day in class he told all of us that he hopes we never ever treat one one Gods children like how we taught "Trevor". We all were super salty and butt hurt about it but we talked about it and we were kind of thankful he was hard on us like that. hes an amazing teacher! we have "real" investigators now that we teach. we have two girls. they are both super nice. its hard to tell if they are LDS or not, but it doesnt matter. its kind of hard teaching with Sis. Cottrell because we have a plan, and then when she talks she goes on and on about stuff i dont even know about and then when she dosnt know how to finish what she started, she looks at me, and im like haha omg no idk what to say after that!!! so i think i just bare my testimony or something haha. i feel bad because she does most of the talking, but she never gives me a chance to talk! its probably a blessing to be honest. Today new missionaries come in so were not new anymore!! yall. days here feel like forever, but 2 hours ago feel like yesterday! i seriously can not believe i have been here a whole week! i feel like i at least got here 3 days ago! but i feel so much better here, im having so much fun. i remember the fist day i got here someone was dont worry things will start to be funny again, and not so serious. and i would always hear people laughing a lot and think why are you laughing? this isnt funny! its the MTC and its scary! theres nothing funny about this! and one night it just clicked with my companions and roomies and we were laughing at everything! IT WAS SO FUNNY! WE WERE LIKE THEY WERE RIGHT! they were also right about "make it through Sunday" seriously if you can make i through sunday you will be a pro! And also i have seen a lot of people i know! one day at lunch i saw (i forgot her name) from Alabama!! we freaked out lol! then I saw one of my FAVORITE people from EFY a couple years ago! we  saw each other at dinner and our jaws dropped and we were like whaaaattt!!?? so he wanted to get a picture so ill get that too!, then some kid came up to me at dinner, and he said hey are you going to the Gilbert Arizona mission? and i was like yeah! and he said do you know Makenna Downs? and i was like YES!!! he was like yeah she married my brother! he said she showed him a picture of me and to find me lol. hes also going to Gilbert Arizona!! its been so fun here! im so thankful for all fo your support (and packages)!!
love yall!
