Well the first six days have been a blast. The elders in my district are hilarious, last night we even kept each other up past 11:30pm... there's never a dull moment with them.
The first two days felt like 6 years. Time definitely works different here. But we made it past Sunday so it should be super fast from here on out.
There's a LOT of demolition going on here building wise. I'm sure anyone who has been here before won't recognize it by the time I leave. They're actually having us all move around and switch the buildings up so that they can start even more tomorrow.
My companion is super fun. He's like all my friends from home, mixed together. He's been awesome to have as a companion while we are learning how to spread the gospel to others.
Oh also! All the 6 elders in my district are also going to Indiana and on top of that a bunch of other elders and sisters are too! We did the math and there's 24 people going there in all. The sisters in my district are going to Everett Washington.
The best part about the MTC so far was waking up with the flu yesterday ☺. It was a really hard day but one of the best things about the MTC is that there's priesthood holders all around. So I got a blessing and I woke up almost completely better.
Also don't forget, I am allowed to receive packages here... (we're all competing to see who gets the most because there's nothing else to compete in here☺) so If you want to send snacks or letters or anything, ask my mother for the shipping instructions at jaclynweist@gmail.com.
I finished Mosiah and I'm halfway through Alma. I definitely enjoy the stories in those scriptures and how we are able to get doctrine out of all of them. Everyone in my district loves me because I have probably around 60 tabs on my gospel library. Making it super easy to find specific categories of scriptures.
There's been a few struggles here. For example, this phone is a Samsung which is a bad phone. That is all.
Elder Metcalf deserves the best for last. He's the funniest guy here and I've written more about him in my journal, then I have anything else. He's been a blast and we are never not laughing around him.
