First email from the MTC

Hello mom!

So, i went to the hospital this week! ill tell you about it later...

I miss you and there is so much to tell you only in 27 minutes now! [they get 30 minutes to email] I have no idea when I am leaving! I am supposed to be leaving on the 27th or that is the plan with the rest of the district but rumor is the visa changed for New Zealand. Everyone in our district got their  flight plans except for the New Zealand people so I'm scared out of my mind!

I got a package slip that i haven't gotten yet so i hope that is my laundry sheets! I have received a lot of mail after you posted that thing on facebook now! I have a lot more things to do! I really wish I could send you pics but I have to wait till I'm out of the MTC. I saw Ammah the very first day she was here and I got a picture  of it, don't worry! [Ammah is a girl from our ward and one of Mary's best friends, going to the Philippines] I also saw Megan Hyatt, Mary's friend! I will barely get see Katie Duffin [his friend headed to Houston]!

So, you have been cleaning out my room already? What is the status of my truck? I miss it dearly! When I went to the hospital I was just staring at all the trucks and cars I definitely miss those.   :(

Mary told me Brian Parker works here! You should tell him to come find me in building 4 in room 319! That's my class room! We have a district of 10, and we just get taught lessons then teach the teacher as if he was a investigator and we just practice teaching a lot of different ways. I love my teachers! We have two and they are very different. I have not had the driving classes yet. My companion is going to Wellington like me and 2 other sisters in my district are going to Wellington too! That's all I have met going to Wellington. I met three other people going to Auckland and 2 were reassigned and 1 is still here for medical reasons. His name is Elder Garff and he is the reason I got to out into the real world and to the hospital. He needed a companion to go take a test at the hospital. It was so much fun! However, not so much fun for him, because they figured out that they needed to take out his gallbladder. His life is up in the air and doesn't know if he is ever going to make it to New Zealand. He is really bummed about it because this is going to be his 5th week here. He is now companions with the new kids that came in Wednesday! So he gets to sit through all the lessons again and become pro at it!

Anyways, church was long, spiritual and relaxing. It was great! I am hoping I can send you the pages I have done in my journal so that you can really know what is happening, I don't really have the time to talk that much :( 7 mins remaining! I'm washing my hands like crazy and there is is hand sanitizer everywhere, it is great!

My first button fell off yesterday! I haven't gotten a calling card to call from the airport yet. We go to the gym everyday. I learned how to play 4 square, or I play volleyball with my companion or I ride a bike machine or walk around an indoor track!

Thanks for everything your are doing Mom, I love you! My companion hasn't gotten one letter from his parents,  its so depressing to watch. They told him they weren't going to write him until he exits the MTC! I only have 3 minutes left. I love you, tell everyone I miss them and keep me updated about the big news stuff we are seriously cut off from the world! BYE!
