FIRST LETTER HOME TO THE FAMILY!


kathryn.macdonald@myldsmail.net

Hello my dear family,
Well true the real me I forgot my login for my email so I don´t have as much time as I usually do. I wrote you a letter a few days ago. you should have gotten it my now. (this keybourd is also really hard to type on) I will write you a real letter after this. That includes you, Denny.
One very important thing. Everyone else here gets letters from Dearelder.com like everyday and basically I´m real jelous. Just go to that site and have my address nearby and you should be able to figure it all out. What they do is print it out the day you send it so I get it that day and I don´t have to wait until P day to read it! Pretty cool eh?! Utilize it if you will :) Tell sophbug she can write me whatever she wants everyday and I will love it. I miss you all so much. It has been a lot of hardwork, and a lot of work getting broken into all the crazy rules and the schedule here. Every day feels like a week but for the most part the spirit has really helped me focus despite how strenuous it feels sometimes. Please pray for me that I will get the language! granted it has only been a week, we are all really struggling with it. If you got my letter, you know that I am a solo sister, so its just me and 11 Elders! I love them so much! We hang lol Elder Rose and Elder Davis are my teaching companions right now and they are super fun and enthusiastic. Elder Davis is really motivated, so he gets us all moving. We have already taught FOUR lessons IN ROMANIAN. It has been crazy business! Basically our "investigator" talks and we just say, "Da," (yes) or "bine," (good) with enthusiasm. But its all fun and we've been practicing really hard. This mission is going to be a lot harder than I thought! But after a week, I feel like I'm being broken into MTC life a lot more so its getting easier. A couple of my dear Elders is really struggling with it so keep my district in your prayers too.
I've never had so much time to study in my life! Its been great during personal study to really have time to get into the meat of the scriptures. I studied a lot about sacrifice this week and read about Hannah, the mother of the prophet Samuel, giving her only son to the Lord, in the first couple chapters of Samuel 1. And I've been able to study Jesus the Christ. Which has been really interested. It goes over the span of Christs ministry from before the world was, when he humbly called to the Father, "Thy will be done, and thy glory thine forever," after Lucifer dictated his plan for the souls of men. Anyways, I really love it. A lot of growth with the gospel. After the stress and the... more stress of the first few days is wearing off, I become more and more grateful to be here to serve. I sat under a tree the other day and marveled at how perfect its stems, its leaves and the veins of the leaves were placed and I felt God all around me. I feel him when I am with you, my beautiful family and I feel him when I think of you. May God bless you and protect you.
