Wednesday after my mom dropped me off I didn't cry at all!! I wanted to make a good first impression! Just like Rachel Berry said,"First impressions are important so are metaphors." I went to meet my companion Sister Sierra Lyn Johnstun! She is wonderful!! I have never laughed so hard in my laugh! We get along great!!
Wednesday to Sunday was a blur I am not going to lye it was so busy and over whelming. I wanted to just leave. I haven't even unpacked yet. I am ready for Alaska.
The MTC.. is really hard. I am not going to make it sound like its a wonderful place. It's like spiritual jail. The food... I got sick the first day I ate it and have been throwing up it's really gross. It's like a big babysitting company. It sucks. HAHA!! The showers.... well lets just say I screamed the first night because there was like a giant spider in my shower!! I flipped out!! I am also sleeping on the top bunk and I fell off my bed which I woke everyone up and I cried. But that's okay! I have been rooming with Sister Fetui and Sister Hall they are both 20. They are so sweet! Sister Fetui and I are pretty close! She was inactive her whole life and is now on a mission! So we are super close and she is so easy to talk to!
Our district is amazing! Sister Johnstun and I are the only sisters headed to Alaska with 6 other Elders! We are so blessed to have them!! They take such good care of us! they make sure we are okay, they ask if we need a blessing, they pray with us when we need it and the sit with us at every single meal!! They are always making us laugh and feeling so amazing!! They complement us and they are just wonderful men!! We are so blessed!!
We have Elder Presley who looks like Zac Efron. We have Elder Hinkley from Ohio who is tall and so kind! He always opens the door for us! We have Elder Garver who is so spiritual! We have Elder Minton who is so quite but when you talks he is so funny! And then we have Elder Timous who is out in lift field when everyone is at home base! Then we have Elder Winslow! He is so awesome! We have all become best friends but Elder Winslow is like the best friend! We can talk to everyone in our district about anything and everything! We are way to close but we all get along and we balance each other out which is wonderful! We are the closest district ever!! We all play basketball together! Sister Johnstun and I look like a deer in the headlights when we play but "Our Elders" include us in so much!!
So yesterday/ Monday was wonderful It was great!!! Sister Johnstun and I have been in a mood where we don't cry but we laugh. We laughed all day yesterday! Our Elders had to pray for us and everything! It was so ridiculous! Adjusting to missionary life is hard and everyone adjusts to it in a different way. I don't want to cry but I laugh. I laugh because I am frustrated and stressed and I am over whelmed. So yesterday Sister Johnston and I role played and taught in investigator/ our teacher named Rob. The lesson was going wonderful! I was teaching about Joseph Smith and I look over and Sister Johnstun is laughing so hard she is crying so I start to laugh and cry! It was so bad!! Our teacher was just looking at us so we ended on that note with a prayer. It was awful! HAHA! That night we had a real investigator who is Sarah! She is so much fun! We love her! She is very sassy and doesn't hold anything back! We walked in the room and Sarah just askd us a whole bunch of questions not about the church about about us and our life. We got to know each other which was great! We didn't even get a chance to pray. But we are teaching Sarah again tomorrow which is great and also Rob!
Today is my Pday so I am emailing, doing laundry and getting a hair cut. I am only getting a trim to cut my dead ends off! So as Sister Johnstun and I were doing laundry. Sister Johnston lost her planner. Turns out she washed it in the washer with all her clothes. So her clothes are ruined because of the paper and ink all over them. We are going to the temple today as a district because we do everything together! And then tonight we are just going to have a meeting with our branch presidency.
It will be a great day!
I could really use the prayers to get through this week. I leave for Alaska on Monday!! I am so excited! But the MTC is super hard. It's over whelming so please pray for me but my district as well!
Thank you so much MOM for the dear elder letters! Thank you so much Marissa for your letter I cried and one letter is coming to you!! Also, thank you Hammond family for the dear elder as well! But thank you EMILY/ SISTER WRIGHT for the package of food and diet coke you sent!!
I love you all!!
Love
Sister Morgan Rebecca Wright
