I made it! I'm here in the MTC. It's crazy here. After I was dropped off I was moved from line to line. I collected all of my books and got my name tag. It's weird that everyone is called elder and sister. I guess my first name is now SISTER! I took all of my bags to my new room. I was the last one out of 6 to come into the room, so I got the top bunk... eh, oh well! I didn't have time to unpackright away because I was lead to a classroom to meet my district. My district consists of 6 elders and 4 sisters. The elders are going to Washington and the sisters are all going to different visitors' centers. We found out our companions here... Mine is Sister Ence, she is 21 from Bountiful. She is darling! She is shy but is so cute! I think I got lucky. She is also going to Kirtland. One of the other sisters is going to the L.A. visitors' center (Sister Coplan) and her companion is going to the Independence, Missouri visitors' center (Sister Stobbe). I love Sister Stobbe, she is my twin. We get along really well. These two sisters are also rooming with me.
After we met our companions and district, we met our teachers. We have a boy and a girl teacher. It was so crazy when the girl walked in... I was her EFY counselor, CRAZY! We screamed and hugged while everyone looked at us. haha The edlers in our district seemed alright. After class we went to an orientation with all of the new missionaries and the MTC presidency. At 4:15p we ate dinner. I don't even want to talk about dinner... yuck.
After dinner we had our first teaching experience. They broke all the new missionaries up into groups of like 30. We went into a room that had a professional actor at the front. It was our job to teach this actor all together. Whenever we had something to say, we stood up and talked to the actor. We did this with three different fake investigators. It was cool. A little scary, but cool. Then we went back to our distric classroom to meet our zone leaders-- 2 elders and a sister. All of these missionaries are going to Romania. The sister is from Provo.
At 8p we were finally released back to our rooms to unpack and get ready for bed. The two others sisters are going to Romania so they can only speak Romanian to everyone. It is really hard to communicated with them. When they try to talk to me I just stare at them because I have no idea what they are saying.
I got two letters today! Gold starts go to Tammy Neslen and Mickle Pickle! Thank you McCall! My district was jealous that I already had letters.
I was so tired last night. I was the first one in my room asleep at 9pm. I slept pretty good and I was up at 6am! (Thats a big change)
You know those plastic play dough things that are in a tube and then a shape at the end? I feel like we are one of those plastic play dough toys being squished through the tube in hopes to become a shape. Everyone walks around with their heads down, eyes focused and frequently they are mumbling in some crazy language.
It's been good so far. It feels like an intense EFY where no one is the counselor and we are free of loud 14 year olds.
I love you all and I miss you! It is great here!
xoxo, Sister Frampton
