I am at the MTC and I am alive haha
this is day 3 lol 3 out of 534ish
The MTC is hard like brutal people. but very spiritual. There aren't words to describe how much of the spirit I have felt. I feel encompassed by it. God is so real. I see him everywhere around here. I feel such a greater love for the savior and the fact he died for me and I have only been here 3 days so lets just imagine by day 10 what I'll be feeling
Let me tell you, 3 days ago I didnt realize just how much you can get done in a day. It is unreal. From 630 to 1030 it is non stop.Last night I was talking to my roommate, sister dawson and said "hey remember when we watched the movie about the guy from bronx yesterday" and she said "sister thurgood, that happened literally 3 hours ago" you should have seen my face haha oops
The plane ride was good. there was 2 missiionaries on my flight! I sat across the aisle from one, we both didn't really say anything because we were unsure if we were both missionaries and then at the same time we both pulled out an envelope of letters hhaha he leans over and is like im thinking your a missionary too. It was fun to have someone to talk to on the plane and discuss life and how cool colorado is haha colorado is the coolest state and everyone who has been there will agree
Of course, I forgot a watch so I bought one at the airport. I don't know if I struggle or what, but to the life of me I could not get my watch to work. so i have a watch but I need to find an elder that is good at watches (is that even a thing) so it will start ticking. Lucky for me I have roommates and Companions with me so they have watches.
my companions name is sister stoldt, she is from Idaho. so she loves potatoes just kidding I dont know but I could see it. shes really nice and friendly. she has a secret obsession with one direction but ill forgive her because I brought my voodoo doll Ella with me on a mission.
Everyone loves ella (so to all the people that hate my doll, you guys are just haters)
my roommates are Sister Porter and sister dawson.
Sister porter is this cute small red head from Utah that has a fire testimony and loves yoga so like duh i already love you.
Sister dawson is from arizona and i love her. shes so cute with beautiful long blonde hair. she hasn't seen snow in years so when we walk outside she touches the snow all the time HAHAHHA what a freak but she's funny. poor girl is so homesick though, makes me tear up just looking at her when she starts to cry.
I actually can't believe this is real life. I am on a mission umm what. it hasn't hit me yet, but when it hits me oh my gosh my poor roommates and people in my district.
We went to the temple today and did a session. So beautiful. Provo temple is gorgeous and with a fresh layer of snow, it was looking fresh ahha is that appropriate to call the temple fresh
The food is actually good. besides the oatmeal which makes me sad because i love oatmeal. but the oatmeal here is like ummm there are no words to describe it. rough. rough is a good one haha
my district is really great and my zone is great too. they are the bees knees
My testimony has already grown so much and I am so happy to be a missionary and to wear Jesus Christ's name on my badge. I love that i get to represent him. Day 3 and I am all about being a missionary. The gospel is so cool
the gospel changes lives. isn't that so cool?
gosh i love it.
God lives and what joy that brings me.
Love you guys so much.
love always,
Sister Thurgood
