Ciao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All is well here at the good ol' MTC! The MTC is my favorite
place on earth. Seriously. This place is amazing. I absolutely love it. Hard.
Trying. But amazing. The Spirit is so strong here, all the time, and I have
learned SO much in such a short time. Yeah. It's awesome.
My companion is bomb!I have so much to learn from her. She
is so humble and kind, which I definitely need to learn to get better at being!
But after 6 weeks with her, I'll be a little better :) Her name is Sorella
Viazzo, and I love her!!! More to come in a letter, I don't have a lot of time.
I can't believe I've been here a week already, it feels like
nothing. Although it is COMPLETELY 100% true that "The days feel like
weeks and the weeks feel like days". Totally accurate. But honestly, I've
never been happier in my entire life. There is nothing like having nothing to
do but study the word of God and learn the most beautiful language on the
planet. Also, I have the best district in the world, they are so awesome! My
companion and I are the only Sorelle, and the rest are Anziani (Elders). They
are great. Each person/companionship is so different and everyone is the
perfect addition to our perfect district. We are hilarious, not to toot our own
horn. But then when we need to be serious, the Spirit gets so strong and we are
totally comfortable just testifying to each other whenever. Incredible. Where
else on earth do you find a bunch of college age kids willing to put everything
on hold and study 8 hours a day to teach people the gospel of Christ? Can you
see why I love it?!
What else... Oh, I almost got to be in the choir for that
big broadcast on Sunday, but I missed it by about 30 minutes. Oh well, I will
be at the Marriot for it though, we all will.
Oh Jared, I tell him all the time tht he will always be 7
years old in my mind, and now there's hard evidence! Love him. Also, in
answer to his question, my favorite thing is.......... THE FOOD!!! Just
kidding. My favorite thing is that the Spirit of God is so strong here. I've
never had so much joy and love for people that I just met, it's amazing.
Ahhhhhhhh :)
Um, I don't know what else to say... OH! Use dear elder (DearElder.com)!!!
That first day, when I got like three, everyone was super jealous, in a loving
way of course :) So yeah, dear elder it up!! If you don't know what that is,
ask my mom. It is just a free way to send me letters while I'm here at the MTC
(Missionary Training Center). And we get them twice a day, so I will get it the
same day you send it, not like letters or email.
Okay, well I can't think of anything else to say, so I'm
just going to end this I guess. Thank you for all your support, I love you
all!! Vi voglio bene!!!!! Ciao!!!
Sorella Patterson
