First Day Of Home MTC

Hi everyone!

Today is my first P-day at the MTC. I had a full day of classes and companion time yesterday. So far, I love it! It feels a bit like trying to drink out of a firehose, but I made sure to take lots of notes so I wouldn't forget everything.

I have an awesome companion named Sister Malu. We're going to be companions during the three weeks of the MTC. Not just for home MTC, but when we actually go to the MTC next week. I'm super excited to meet her in person, along with the rest of our district!

I had no idea that a district was so small! There are only a dozen missionaries in my district, including me. Most of them are getting called to Africa, including Sister Malu! She's going to Zimbabwe. A couple elders are going to Kenya and the rest are going to Gana. (Hope I spelled those all correctly! XD) Some of the elders are also going to London and California.

I actually got reassigned! I was originally called to Edmonton Canada, but I got reassigned to Spokane Washington a little while ago. So far, it looks like I'll go to Washington. I have no idea how long I'll be there, though.

I got to have one last fun day with family. Most of my siblings and my mom came with me to SeaQuest (the aquarium that I used to work at). I wanted a chance to say goodbye to some of my coworkers and favorite animals. I'm really going to miss working there, but I hope to come back when I'm done serving.

It all feels so unreal to me... Wearing the nametag, Sunday best, and having everyone call me 'Sister Howard'... I'm sure I'll get used to it soon, though. I'm sure I'll also have lots more to write about as my MTC experience progresses!

Love you all,

Sister Howard.
