So I am loving my mtc experience so far! Everyone is so loving and I've never been closer to the spirit. It was scary first getting out of the airport because I didn't sleep at all and I was waiting about 10 minutes for my luggage to appear. I thought I was the lucky winner of the airport lottery and had my luggage in a different country. Lucky me and sister Washburn who was on the flight with me (Haley had emailed me from her layover in Florida and told me she'd met up with Sister Washburn there. I was sooo grateful she'd had a companion for her last long flight to England), got everything okay. When we were walking to the mission coach, the band that connected my carry on and suitcase broke.
The first day was hard. Everyone was super jetlagged and could barley stay awake. It was super spiritual though. We had a member of the seventies come over and teach about the way you walk. Confident, anxious, stiff, and silly. I'm going to be the confident missionary.
My companion is sister Terry. I LOVE her. She's super sweet, kind and loves movies and the avengers. When I got the paper that tells you what district an companion you have, the district was misspelled. My district was moroni but it had two i`s at the end so I thought it said macaroni. The missionaries in my district are pretty great.
Lessons are awesome! The hardest thing I think is knowing how to start taking to people and staying focused during the study times. Especially near mealtime. The food for me is a hit and miss. It's all really good, but there are some foods that I did not like, like snichnel (is that how you spell it?). But I loved the salmon and that Italian rice stuff.
The last thing I want to tell everyone is about Monday.on Monday we went proselyting for the first time. It was super scary! Sister Terry and I didn't get any referrals but we did come close with the redhead guy in the brown top hat. We gave him a light the world pamphlet though.
Stay strong everyone and do something every day to feel the spirit!
** this next part I'm including because it's hilarious and SO Haley! Liv asked Haley if she's had any funny experiences so far, and this was her response to Liv.
Funny story 1: When I got my district it said moroni but I thought it said macaroni bc of a typo.
Funny story 2 one of the sisters was trying the take a picture of my room but the flash on her camera went off randomly so it became a really bad selfie. She almost peed when she saw it.
Funny story 3 I've forgotten my towel to the shower like 3 times now and I bruised myself with unpacking my evil pop up laundry basket from Satan
Funny story 4 I fried my hair straightener. Ask mom
Funny story 5 I made another elder scream when my popping arm made the sound of a gun shot (it was amazing)
Funny story 6 a Scottish elders idea of an American accent ist to make yourself super nasally. He was spot on.
Funny story 7 the local swan that lives next to the mtc HISSED at me. This is the first time I've been hissed at by a bird. One of the sisters next to me sprints up the steps when it hissed. I just stood there in amazement. Way better than any cat.
Funny story 8 everything is green. It is almost Christmas. No snow whatsoever. God truly does exist.
