Sooo my Preparation Day ended up being Wednesday so we had to wait a week before I could email (which usually i guess doesn't happen but oh well) So i'll have one more of these next wednedsay and then ON TO AUSTRAYLA MATES. So yeah,like i have so much to tell all of you. Buckle up. And they're all random things on the mind, bare with me and my spacey brain.
When we first got here, the ration between elders and sisters is UNREAL. It's like 1 to 18394109348289. I mean girls c'mon! Leaving all the saving of the world to the men?! I don't think so! I don't think so. (Incredibles anyone?) Yeah I still incorporate movie quotes on the daily. Been quoting a lot of office and new girl, the sisters love it haha. Okay so yeah. Before I came here,I thought I knew how to be a missionary BUT I KNEW NOTHING OF THE SORTS. Talk abotu getting beat by the humble stick. Oh and first night,yeah so hard to fall asleep. I laid in bed for straight 2 hours before I could fall asleep haha. 10:30 is soooo early!
Oh and our distict got ipads but we won't get them in the field i'm guessing anytime soon, long story for another time. But yeah so we're allwed to check mail whenever just not respond until P Dayso I've just been watching you guys email me at nighttime while i just itch to email you back haha. Obedience brings belssings right?
Okay so a little about my freakin awesome Poly companion. Her name is Sister Afatasi, she's from Utah, first couple of days being companions was rough as HECK. but we're best friends now. I hope we get to be companions again in the field. She likes to make fun of my "large plate" notes (forreal, I've gone through so much notebook paper) and says I'm annoying when I get all stressed and feel inadequate before our TRC lessons hahah. She's so chill and positive and makes me laugh whenever in a stressful situation WHICH IS LIKE 24/7 IN THE MTC. #blessed We both also have weird eating habits. She puts salt on everything and i put hot sauce on everything. The MTC is so clutch with hot sauce, they're always packin #praise.
Anyways that's all I have time for, sorry this isn't quite the spiritual nourishment email i was hoping to give ya'll. I've learned so much in just a week and i wish i could tell you all of it! But i hate long emails haha.This place is the best and the Spirit is so strong, i love it! Congrats if you made it through the email!
Here's my MTC mailing address. You all know i love letters! make me look cool in front of my mission buddies guys. Also there's DearElder.com, i'm assuming you guys know how to do that. Mom or Jamie can you post my MTC address on FB or somethin?

Meet Sister Afatasi
The squad. Plus some noob photobombers. Geez I'm short.
Me and Afi (my nickname for her) had to get visa and background checks figured out for her at the Provo police department so we got to do a little field trip there! FREEDOM. Actually it was like our 2nd day so it was no biggy. But I got to see my sweet provo! Only ran into one friend, and he drove us there...haha.
On Wednesdays we wear pink...except that day was Sunday so uh ya.
Also the noob elder photobombing in the back, I apologize, is the only elder heading to Sydney South with us! And he's in a different district.
Sister Merrill and her favorite students!
With Sister Gilbert from my home ward!
The District.
The District and all my little bros, they're gonna be great missionaries!
And my favorite part of the day is putting on my nametag! I sometimes just look down on it on my shirt and get goosebumps. I'M A MISSIONARY. The feels are unreal.
