Hola Mi Familia!!

I have a half p-day today, so I get a little time to e-mail you! This only e-mailing for 30 minutes thing kinda stinks but I'll get out as much as I can real quick!!

I absolutely LOVE it here!!!! My first day I got all of my stuff (name tag!!), took my bags up to my room, and then went STRAIGHT to class!! I walked in and my teacher immediately started asking me stuff in Spanish haha I did pretty good answering her actually, but luckily she's a super nice and awesome teacher so she didn't just speak spanish the whole time. When I first got there there was one other sister, Hemana Campbell and one Elder Connors. Hermana Camacho (my teacher) had us decorate the room while we waited for the rest of our district to get there, which was fun! Then eventually the rest of our district got there, besides me companera!! SO yeah mom I was without a comp for a couple hours. .. pero, esta bien! :)

First letter home!!

Going to the MTC

The day before she went to the MTC, we spent some time in downtown SLC at temple square.  Here's some of the kids at the tabernacle: (from left) Schyler, Nakai, Larissa, Halle, Braxton, Cade, Taysa, & Ace.

Christian Nielsen had an entire photo shoot planned out after Larissa's farewell talk in the Sterling Ward, on Sunday.  She gave a beautiful message on "The Family: A Proclamation to the World."
