It
is me! Your daughter/sister who really did go on a mission! And is
currently at the MTC West Campus! I sent you a letter on Thursday
morning and one on Monday morning. But it sounds like you did not get
them when I read your emails and DearElders.... Have you gotten them
now?? Hopefully!
Yes
I am at the West Campus! And no, it does not suck. I like this campus a
whole lot better than the other one! The classrooms inside of the
apartments is actually really cool! We have our own private Hermana
bathroom and an Elder bathroom and three bedrooms to use for studying
and practice home visits with fake investigators. And we have a fridge
for our food and drinks. And we use the living room for class and stuff.
It feels homey. And our real apartments are WAY nicer. I love only
living with 4 Hermanas and having our own bathroom and fridge and
couches and only two per room! We have two big closets and lots of room.
We do workouts in our living room sometimes! And we have these big
bubble things with more gym equipment and volleyball and basketball
quarts and everything! We have our own bookstore and hair salon and
laundry services and everything! So we never have to go to main campus
if we don't want to! The cafeteria is really really small tho... They
give us BYU ice cream in little personal tubs though, so that makes up
for it. But today we went to the temple and stopped by main campus for
lunch and their cafeteria is HUGE!!! And has sooo many more options. But
no BYU ice cream. So it will be okay. We still have plenty of food, so
it's all good. We went and explored the main campus today and I am happy
I am here. It's all good!
We do have to
go to main campus for devotionals still though. But currently they are
having their floors redone, so we have walked to the Marriott center for
devotional in the mean time. Sunday and Tuesday. It feels like we are
in a parade while walking through Provo. Everyone honks and waves at us
because there are hundreds of missionaries walking to BYU and they love
us. I haven't seen anyone I know driving past yet though... And we
really do cross the road between Wyview and Raintree like 6 times a day,
so people honk and wave at us there too! We are famous! Hahaha not
really. But still. I haven't heard any whistles from that road yet
though...
I
love my district so far! Even if they are all 18 and 19. They started
calling me mom.. So that's fun. But it reminds me of when McKell became
my roommate. And I love my companion! She is awesome! She is fairly tall
though. She makes fun of me for that. And we are constantly laughing.
She is pretty sassy and sarcastic and it is hilarious. And normally the
laughing is all good and it helps us stay happy, until she started
laughing hysterically in the middle of our lessen yesterday.. We
offended the person we were teaching.. And we did not know how to
apologize to him in Spanish so we just pretended like it didn't happen
and it was awkward. Luckily he is already a member and works for the
MTC, so he wasn't really offended, he just wasn't happy with us. So we
have to work on laughing less. But our lack of Spanish knowledge is just
so funny! We say the funniest things and sound so funny trying to speak
Spanish, we can't help it!
That's all I can remember that I wanted to write about for now... But now I will answer some of your other questions...
1. The retainers you found are my old soft trays for bleaching my teeth. I do not need them. Thank you though!
2. My favorite
treats are Carmel Popcorn and Cinnamon Bear Rice Crispy Treats. I like
other stuff too, but generally don't need brownies, cookies, or cake.
They have lots of that here. I actually don't need many treats at all.
They feed us pretty well.
3. I haven't made my shuttle appointment yet for my
nose check up, but I will soon. I forgot to do it today, so maybe next
week. I have to be on main campus to do it. And are we sure my mole is
okay??
4.
The branch president talked to the person in charge of mission nurses
and told me to make sure I tell my mission president that I am a nurse,
because he will probably need to use me. They do not have a mission
nurse right now. But one of the senior couples in charge of the area is a
nurse and they are using her as the mission nurse right now. So they
might use me, they might not. We will see.
5. And will you send me like a little photo album?
Or those sheet protectors you were talking about? But if they are small,
I will need small pictures to go in them. I need something to take
around to the houses with me to show them my family when they ask.
Thanks!
6. There are a
few things I might need before I leave for Costa Rica, but for now I am
good! I was packed fairly well before I left. And they give me $8 to
spend every week at the bookstore where we get 40% everything, even
make-up, food, office supplies, and church stuff.
7.
I like DearElders more than I like emails. Because then I can read them
the day you send them instead of only on Wednesdays. But I still like
emails, don't worry! Or hand written letters! ;)
Thank
you for everything!!!! The MTC is great so far and I am learning lots!
Have a excellent week!! Keep me posted and updated and such! Love
you!!!!!!!!!
Love,
Hermana Markle. :)
