I won't be able to email you until Thursday, July 10th so I decided to write a quick letter. I'm VERY busy so there is not much time to write.
Today is day 2! So much fun! Yesterday, I got to my room dropped off my HEAVY bags and went straight to class. There, I met my companion, Sister Esquivel from Atlanta, Georgia. She is so much fun. We laugh all the time because she is a big dork like me! She always checks the teachers and elders out just to be funny. Nothing serious! We just joke like that. We are trying very hard not to say sexy, guys, dude, or any slang words like that because if we do we will get in trouble.
I have learned a lot from my companion. She is unintentionally teaching me that sharing about trials and not keeping things in all the time is good for us and sometimes a good way to teach investigators. Yesterday in class we had a fake investigator and the teacher thought it was a good idea to hand me the microphone and have me teach. It wasn't bad and I learned so much.
I hate the food! I refuse to eat any of it except the fruit. The mashed potatoes are awful and the steak is so nasty that I'd rather eat 100 chicken hearts from Tucano's. The juice is also mysterious so I decided to stick to water. I love juice but not from here.
Sister Esquivel & I have four other roommates and they are all serving in Montreal, French speaking. They are also very busy. I was happy all day yesterday until it was shower time. The girls like to sing in serious opera voices like they are joining the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I got used to it but I miss my shower! The beds are hard and I'm on the top bunk so I'm just waiting to fall off.
Today is good! Class is great and tonight we are watching fireworks. Last night we had interviews with the Branch President and he made me the senior companion. I don't even know what I'm doing yet but oh well. I am so happy I'm here.
We just got done working out with Sister Cuevas and her companions. The Temple Square girls don't mess around. We have to look good!
I really do love the MTC and I can feel my testimony growing. I would write my testimony but we're late for lunch and my companion loves her ice cream. I seriously adore her. She makes me laugh! Oh and I saw Sister Blake Hamblin and Sister Holly Burnham! They helped me feel more at home. I have to go!
Talk to you on Thursday!
Love,
Sister Park
