My First Week!

Dear family and friends,

So this week has been crazy. For like the first week we had no idea what we were doing... literally they got our scheduled mixed up and we would show up to zone teaching only the teacher never would... It was crazy, in fact, I don't think that we got the correct scheduled until Saturday. But! We managed!!! ... So what to tell you, my companion Sister Steele is awesome! I accidentally got her sick though... I feel so bad about that but she is taking it all in stride. So funny story, we got here the first day and we're super busy with no time to unpack. Finally with like 10 minutes till lights out, we got the chance, so I quickly made my bed and wrote in my journal. Well much to my dismay I crawled into bed only to discover that my sheets were super loud. I think Sister Steele put it best when she said it was like I was sleeping in tinfoil. Every time I moved they made this really loud noise and I was trying hard not to move but to no avail... First thing the next morning I switched sheets, so it is all good now! What to say. . .  the MTC has been amazing! But super busy. I leave on Monday for Colorado and I have mixed feelings about it. But when we got here the MTC presidents wife said /the minutes are long but the hours short, the hours are long but the days short, the days are long but the months short and the months are long but the years short/ This definably applies ... I feel like I have been here forever but I still cant believe that it is already been a week! We taught our first TRC yesterday and it went kind of well ... She brought up polygamy, but wasn't really happy with either of our answers. But we got a follow up visit, so that good right? So its been fun. We have four sisters and the rest of our district is elders, but we are all going to Colorado Springs which everyone I meet tells me is lucky. They are all so great and we are having a good time getting to know each other. Ive enjoyed getting to know them.  Sister Steele and I both have no sense of direction, so we keep getting each other lost. So whenever possible, we follow our district places. But, the other sisters are so amazing, Sister Hutchings has to go home for a bit because she needs to get a small surgery, but she has taken it is stride. I am so inspired by these girls. They are so spiritual and nice to everyone. Oh! and my companion talks at Tasha speed. It was nice that I could understand her from the beginning, but I haven't been able to help her with her goal of slowing down because I'm so used to Tasha speaking so fast! So I'm almost out of time, so here is a quick thought! One of my teachers Brother Terry keeps telling us "the MTC is our opportunity to become Gods investigator." I love that! I definably feel that this whole week the lord has been teaching me. I have felt the Spirit so much and I feel like I have grown so much more than when I entered. Everything I do, I have to do relying on the Lord. Sorry this letter is so short Ill try to write more next time I have a Pday, but I don't know yet when that will be! Love you all so much!!

Love,

Sister Krista Bice
