Dearest Sisterhood!
     Ciao! How are you? Thank you so much for your Dearelders! I love them. It is so fun to hear from you. It is so hard to write because there honestly is no time whatsoever. That being said I LOVE IT HERE!
     This is honestly the most amazing experience ever. It is definitely hard but growing pains hurt right? I feel like it is a huge rollercoaster & tons of my weaknesses are laid flat out on the table. But that is the beauty of the atonement. We see our weaknesses so that we go to Christ to make them strong. You all are going to love it here. Just make sure you don't try to so it all on your own. I tried that my first few days but Jesus Christ suffered so that we don't have to do it all on our own.
     The spirit is so strong here & without a doubt my favorite experience is singing called to serve w/2500 missionaries. It was so amazing. You will love it.
     I love my companion & I know that she is perfect for me right now. She helps me laugh and helps me have so much fun. We laugh a lot... then the same day we will have a breakdown & cry. It is so cool that we can support eachother in that time. Maybe ask my mom to forward my emails to you? That would help I think! O & if you see Cheri Peacock tell her thanks for writing me & maybe tell her how I am doing. I just honestly can't write to everyone.
     You are going to love it here! You all are in my prayers. Keep preparing because the people here are amazing. There are so many spiritual giants! It is amazing.
     I love you
