This is BIG Time!
holy cow was it just 10 hours ago we said our curbside
good-byes? those ten hours were so
crazy. they should make a video of the first
day… like the district. dad would eat it
up!!
my hosts were excellent.
once I entered the first building my tears stopped and things were
crazy! ID, key, NAME TAG! (oh I love my
name tag… I get the chills just looking at it). then drop things off at the
room, bring scriptures and notebook, pick up a big bag of supplies (Portuguese
scriptures, Portuguese/English dictionary, Preach My Gospel, Mish handbook,
etc.) then go to the classroom. Ddrop
things off… then do some computer evaluations & videos--- like one that
explained then quizzed you on gym time… if someone gets hurt you should NOT
assist them, even if you have medical experience, just FYIJ
then back to classroom. this is
the best part… 100% immersion! Our teacher
is just going off and I swear everyone was going along with it and I had to try
SO hard not to laugh. I caught about 5%
of what she was saying. There was all of
this Portuguese on the board, I wrote it down even though I had no clue what
it meant. but then we did some exercises
and I found outJ my district is GREAT…
i think it’s half sisters/half elders.
most of us are going to Brazil, but one to AFRICA!!! then most of us are Santa Maria too. anyways, then we had a meeting with the MTC
President. the room was about the size
of a chapel plus the overflow and filled with missionaries. he said there was another room like that filled and another smaller at
the West MTC!!
then dinner… @ 4:00!! ha, good thing I didn’t eat before I
got to the MTC, then unpacking, then “The Wednesday Night Experience” just
learning about teaching and investigators, etc.
Real good stuff. Then meeting the
zone and zone leaders. my companion is Sister
A (al-saute)… a cutie from Texas. she’s
24 and doesn’t like running either. so
life is goodJ
P-DAY is on Friday, but that means it will be a week & a
half before I can email.
i love you all so much.
if you want to be humbled, serve a mission. i just laugh when my teacher says something
and wants me to say yes back. I do… but
I don’t really know what I’m saying it to. Learning about working with
investigators was great. Ii’s not about
us, it’s about them and the Spirit.
anyways, I
could go on but it’s 10:23 PM… so crazy!!
BEST DAY EVER!
Tudo Bem!!
Love, Sister
