SO today is my first p day ! woot! the Mtc is AWESOME i love it sooo much so when I first got to the mtc i went through a bunch of lines with people asking me what was my name so they could give me my name tag and such. Then a Sister missionary helped me take my bags to my room and showed me to my class. I got to class and the teacher was speaking only in German!!!!! thank goodness I understood everything he said it was awesome. Then i met my Companion Sister Leonardson she is super nice she is from Idaho and we get along really well. The picture is of my District I Love all of them the Elders are really nice and the other Sisters are great too. So every day we have to wake up at 6:30!! Which isn't as bad as i thought it would be and every day we have at least 3 hours of German class where our teachers either Brother Little or Brother Ott teach are all in German which is good because i need as much practice as possible. Oh also I found out that half the missionaries in my district know no German and i have taken the most years of german out of the ones that have taken classes, in my interview with Brother Ott he told me he loved having me in his class and told me that i am brilliant CRAZY! He told me he depends on me to help others and told me i an a leader in the class and wants me to continue to be a leader. So other than class the food is pretty good i eat a wrap probably twice everyday haha it is like subway and you can chose what you put in your wrap, they have a lot of really interesting dressings like mango habnero ( i know that is spelled wrong haha). Sunday was AMAZING we get up and have personal study like every day and then we have district meetings and sacrament meeting with our branch which is all German missionaries ( about 30 there is more German missionaries but in a different branch) and we all prepare talks and then the leaders chose people to speak , not me this week. Then we had a temple walk which is where the picture was taken and that is my district.
I also get to work out everyday which is really cool they have lots of machines and you can listen to conference talks or church movies or little talks while you work out, i really like that. Also we have a fake investigator that we have to teach... in German ... this is really hard! We have been doing it for 4 days now and we always scripted our lesson but yesterday we went by the spirit we had almost nothing written down! It was really hard but we taught her that she could know Jesus Christ if she read the Book Of Mormon and Prayed. It was really bad German but i Could feel the spirit and so could my companion so that was a good step. i found out that when i am on the mission field I might be able to email friends but not in the mtc because i only have 30 mins to write while in the field I haver 2 hours! But that is not for sure. Thank you to everyone that sent me letters or packages I loved them all! If you want me to write you, you need to give me your address by sending me a letter or give it to my mom so she can give it to me also i can only write and send letters on Tuesday so don't worry if you haven't got a letter yet. All in all the MTC and this week was Amazing LOVE YOU ALL
