Day 1. I got to the MTC and was greeted by this super polite elder. He took me to my room and everything and I got my name tag and all that but on my way there I met these missionaries going to Finland, We spoke with them for a second then I had to go and look for my companion, but i couldn't find him at all! I did bump into Quinn Pincock from welding. He was also missing his companion, so i just teamed up with him, He's going to Australia Vietnamese speaking, so he's a in complete different district and zone. Now that we were companions we couldn't go anywhere without each other so I had to join him to his district meeting. His zone leaders then went and escorted me to the right place and showed me where I'm supposed to be. That is where i met my companion Elder Findlay. After that we went to our rooms and unpacked then went to bed. The super cool thing is that on my floor everyone goes around and does their nightly "rounds" where they go and hug everyone, which was super cool.
Day 2. We went to our class and that was pretty fun and everything. I thought it was gonna be a really rough day but it wasn't bad at all. I thought it was gonna be a lot worse honestly. It was just super chill. We had a testimony meeting that night and everyone had to bear their testimonies and we also got to meet our branch Presidency. They're really nice. I bore mine on the power of prayer and how heavenly Father blesses us and comforts us, because the night before I had struggled a little bit. I was getting a little freaked out, but I just wrote in my journal and prayed to Heavenly Father to help me through all of this. I got this overwhelming feeling of belonging and love and I was able to fall asleep right after that.
Day 3. P-DAY EVE!! So on Friday we taught our first lesson to this girl named Tamara who is no hablo ingles, so we had to do it Spanish but I am no hablo espanol. Elder Findlay did most of the teaching. Were gonna teach her again today a little bit so that will hopefully go a little bit better. Almost every night we have story time and i love story time. P-day eve tho is special. There's this cactus that we bring out and tell stories and eat food. Last night we ate donuts and chips and guac. It was super chill.
