~First Email~

The MTC is going so well!!! I love it here and and so happy to be here. We have lots of classes and fun firesides and teaching time. I love my companion Sister Steenblik. She is from Spokane, WA!! How fun is that! We have been having so much fun. We are going to the temple here in about 15 min with our district. Ok, my district is the greatest! We all clicked on the first day! We eat together and pretty much do everything together except sleep haha.

We have six Elders and four Sisters. Which is quite rare. All of the Sisters are going to Temple Square and all of the Elders are going to the Zimbabwe Herare Mission. They are English speaking so that is why we can all be together. So we have Elder Toomer and Elder Stewart, Elder Whyler and Elder Nelleson, Elder Mitchell and Elder Cloyd and Sister Kurtuz and Sister Dotterer. So, both of these sisters are the ones that my friends had told me about and then they ended up being in my district! So, there are three districts in our Zone and we are the only Sisters.

We are getting a whole new district of Elders tomorrow so that will be exciting. We currently have three investigators here that we are doing role plays with but it seems very real. They have classrooms set up with couches and we start from the door approach. I find it so fun to get to know these people and then to share our special message! We have Annika who has committed to come to church and to pray on her own. We have Matt who has also committed to pray and we just met Randy yesterday and committed him to pray as well. Tomorrow we will meet a less active member and teach them.

Out teachers are amazing! They all have gone on missions, of course, but are fabulous teachers. There have already been so many amazing spiritual experiences and I can not wait for more. I know it will not always be easy but it sure is fulfilling. Thank you for all the support and all the letters that I have gotten so far. I would love to hear from anyone and everyone! So, if you do not want to hand write you can email me at dearelder.com and then I can hand write you back. Only because I am not allowed to be on dearelder.
