I MADE IT TO THE MTC ;) 02/27/2021

    Hola!!! I hope all of you are doing great! As some of you may know, I was set apart as a missionary this past Tuesday night! So far the home MTC(missionary training center) has been really good. I am in the MTC for 6 weeks because I will be speaking Spanish. The first 2 weeks we are learning how to be missionaries and the remaining 4 weeks we will focus on Spanish! Before I started the MTC almost everyone I talked to said that the mtc was like "drinking from a firehose".... and that statement couldn't be more true! There is so much information that is thrown at you in classes! Sometimes it is hard to keep up. My classes are typically from 9-12 and 2-5. With free time I make sure I am always doing something to learn. I will either review previous lessons, scripture read, study Spanish or sign up for "workshops" that the MTC will put on.

    I am still getting to know my district but so far everyone is really nice and outgoing! My district consists of 7 missionaries, a pair of elders, a trio of sister missionaries and then my companion and I! My companion is Hermana Warren and she is called to serve in the Arizona, Mesa mission! Which is a major coincidence because my brother served there and we just went back to visit last month. So we have been talking a bunch about Arizona as she asks! She is super funny and keeps it real which makes talking to her a relief!

    I have had one Spanish class so far and it was great! I definitely am not good at speaking yet but I am super excited to learn! I hope you all know that Heavenly Father loves you and that he hears your prayers!! I can testify of prayer. I have been praying for the ability to retain the information taught and I can see a difference as I do! So keep on saying your prayers because he hears them and wants to help!! I love you all and keep being awesome people!
