First Email!

Hey fam jam, here is a quick look at what my daily schedule looks like...
We have breakfast, learning/studying time, then lunch, more study time/learning, and dinner, then more study/learning/paid actor-investigators if that makes sense. Then devotional with our zone and then be back in our apartments, get ready for bed. 

It is amazing how much I have learned being out just a few days! I pretty much know how to pray, with some minor adjustments on pronunciation, and how to bare my testimony too! Saturday is my P-day here at the MTC if you didn't guess already. My district and I all went to the temple together this morning, which was fantastic, minus my companion and I were so tired, haha she said she was falling asleep. I just closed my eyes again. We took a nap later today :p

My companion is from Cali, she is also a poly, and super slow at walking, and getting ready, and I am not at all!! But she is really sweet. She is 28. She had a hard time leaving her family on the first day, so she was really late getting to the MTC. I'm glad she is my companion, we think alike, and she is sincere, and focused. She told me that she really believes that I was supposed to be her companion because we had a heart to heart last night about being here, and why. I told her I wanted to be a good example to my little brother, and bring the joy in others’ lives that I have, and that alone is reason enough to be here. I know that I can bless the lives of others, and in turn it will bless my family. :) Also we had another lesson today, even though it was our P-day, so we weren't able to do much of what we wanted on our own because we needed to prepare a lesson... 

Honestly, we have zero time! Like writing in our journals, that has barely happened.  Still getting in the groove of things, figuring out our schedule for each day. 

Anyways that is about all I have for you today. This counts as my first week though :). Oh, and I have a return date... Oct. 26th, 2015. Oh and I also get to call home or skype on mothers day after all between 1:45-2:15 I think. Anyways just be on the radar for that. :)

Whew isn't time flying by already?? haha Oh man I keep remembering things I was planning on telling you. I fly to Vegas on Tuesday.. haha, gonna see if the Lord really is on my side, hehe  kidding!! It is only regarding my passport to Mexico. I have to be at the bus ready by 4:30am to drive up to SLC to fly to LV.. what the heck! Sooo early! I'll probably sleep on the plane :) Unless some crazy missionaries just want to talk the whole flight there! (Hope not)

Thank you for the flowers, my companions love them, and I plan on wearing one of them in my hair tomorrow to church :) 

Also I just sent this to Mom, dad, and Cherisa, make sure to forward it to whoever wants it :) And tell them when they send me dear elder letters, to tack their email at the end so I can respond back to them. 

Con mas amor, 
your favorite missionary ;) <3<3<3<3
