HELLOO from the MTC. Can't believe I've already been here a week. They gave me my flight plans like my second day here.... Im basically just doing the drive through MTC. I leave early Monday Morning for New York. I can't believe we are already getting ready to leave for the mission field.
I have LOVED the MTC so far. My companion is amazing. We have just hit it off. She is from Peurto Rico but lived in Florida for most of her life so she speaks English perfectly. She did one semester at BYU last year but moved back to Puerto Rico because it was way too cold. Haha New York is going to be an adjustment for her. We get along great and work really well together. Both of our "investigators" have baptismal dates. I'm so sad she will only be my companion for 5 more days. We are going to bribe our mission president to send us to Bermuda together in the future haha. She is the best.
Sister Lugo has been teaching me spanish. Its the best. She loves my terrible accent. I usually just make up words. We have had a bunch of extra errands to run since she is international. The other day we went to order her new name tags since hers said Lugo-Lopez instead of just Lugo. They accidentally ordered her Elder name tags so we had a good laugh wearing the Elder tags. We also locked ourselves out of our room the other night. I was ironing and we both weren't wearing shoes so we had to sprint across the MTC shoeless and in pencil skirts with our running capris hanging out the bottom. It was quite the site to see, everyone was laughing at us. We've had a great time together. Also one of our investigator is obsessed with irish history so we decided during one of our study breaks to practice some Irish dancing. Our district was pretty impressed.
As Sister Training Leaders, Sister Lugo and I get to and teach the new missionaries in our Zone tonight. I'm pretty excited to help them embrace their dork dot. Our District is amazing. We all are super close. Just had to help some Elders in our district do their laundry. One was about to use bleach with his colored clothes. Haha they make me laugh. We had an amazing testimony meeting the second night and we are all just super close.
I'm SO happy that I'm here. This work is amazing. The spirit is so strong here and I have already had the most amazing spiritual experiences. I know that this is where I'm supposed to be. I've felt so strongly that the things I've experienced the last year have prepared me for this. I just feel so grateful! I love you all! Con mucho amor!
Sister Abby Wobertson (my district found out I had a speach impediment when I was little so this is what I go by now)
