MTC Update 1: District, MTC, General Conference

Hello everyone!  

The I've been in the MTC for about 5 days now and it's been crazy.  On top of it being my first week and trying to figure everything out, it was also General Conference weekend, which made everything that much more hectic.  BUT!  It was still awesome.  :]

My district consists of 8 Sisters and 2 Elders.  A bit strange I know, but it's been a blast.  I have really come to love everyone in my district soooooooo much even if I've only known them for a few days.  If it's any consolation, they were a few days that felt like a few months.  Somehow the days in the MTC are ridiculously long.  It's maybe 3 or 4 in the afternoon and I'm wondering when it's bed time.  That's another thing.  Sleep?  What's that? I've been having the hardest time falling to sleep only to wake up at 6 in the morning.  So basically, I'm pretty sure I'm going through and experiencing everything that every other person who has been through the MTC has gone through.  Just got to get used to it.  I hear that while you're on the mission you are always tired, but it's worth it.  :]


General Conference.  I don't even now where to begin.  People had told me before that having General Conference while in the MTC is like the best thing ever, but now I really know what they meant.  I got so much out of every single talk.  It felt like every message somehow addressed on of the many questions that I had formed since being in the MTC and they really helped me to know that even though I'm trying to learn how to teach and learn to speak different language, that it isn't about me.  I am learning for the Lord and his children and that I need to remember that the next year and a half isn't mine.  It's his.  

I feel like before I got to the computer I had so much more to say, but now that I'm here, I just don't know how to get it all out and put it into words.  Just know that I might be extremely tired but I love every minute of it.

P.S.  My MTC address unit number has changed from 70 to 7.  My sister should have changed it on the side bar, but if not, there ya go.  Oh!  And I would love to write some legit hand written mail, but I don't have anyone's address.  This means if you want a letter from me, you're just gonna have to write me first.  Hand written mail would be cool, but I'm totally okay with you using Dear Elder if you'd like to.  :]
