Conference, "the Incubator", and Pitch Perfect MTC style!

Hello again wonderful people of my life!!!

Sportin' Aaron's watch :)

First off. . .I love you all sooooo much! Thank you for your prayers and for the Dear Elders and for everything you do for me :) Aaron won and got me my first package of the MTC :) That was AWESOME! I got it last p-day and he got my lots of my favorite things as well as some really helpful stuff for my mish! :D He got me this absolutely ADORABLE lime green watch that has an owl on it and it says "Believe in Yourself" :) It's the stinkin cutest thing and it makes me day brighter when i look at it instead of the boring black thing I got haha He also spoiled me with my favorite candy and PB Oreos (those were perfect for coping with the break down I had this week haha) then Mom I got your package a few days after that and it was magnificent as well :) Packages are kinda the best thing ever haha I was definitely in need of the snacks, I like having the healthy options you sent me!

First real P-day letter!

HEY!!!!

How are you all doing?!?! I'm still doing soooo awesome! I am loving it, it's hard work, but the reward is incredible :)



So, as I was saying before I had two investigators Maria and Eric. Teaching them has been a rollercoaster of emotions! We have spiritual highs and times where we just wish they could understand what we have and they could just really embrace it. These first teaching experiences were mainly to humble us and show us that teaching isn't easy, and there is NO WAY you can teach with out the spirit. That has been a gigantic testimony builder for me. I can't believe the way I've began to apply the Atonement in my life and how strong my testimony of the truthfullness of this gospel has grown in jjust a short week, as well as how much spanish I can speak/understand!!! It's CRAZY!!

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!!
