Sydney Loves the Missionary Training Center!

Ok the MTC is so much better than I thought it would be. I can't lie, it really is so hard and sitting in the classroom almost all day is the worst. But my district is so wonderful, I feel like we have all been best friends forever. We have so much fun together and seriously we all laugh so hard we end up in tears most nights. There are 5 elders in our district and 4 sisters including me and my companion. Me and my companion Sister Tidwell get along so well. She's from Hunstville so she went to Weber High School which is so cool! We have so much fun together and we make a good team. Teaching investigators is really hard, because I know it's not real, so I kind of feel silly but it's so cool that even though it isn't real The Lord really helps us know how to help them and the spirit is still so strong in our lessons. Role playing in class is the one thing I really don't like, but I know it helps so I do it anyways. The spirit is always so incredibly Strong here I can't even believe it sometimes, but it's really awesome. Also I hate to beg for this but dear elder letters are seriously the best things ever so keep sending them to me while I'm still here in the MTC!! Also I always find something I like to eat so thank goodness for that, and we have ice cream on sundays and wednesdays so that's the best thing ever. I had mint chocolate chip. YUM. Sometimes I get discouraged thinking about how long this mission will be but I know I have the help of my Savior and that always helps me get through the day. Also the Elders are hilarious and they never go to bed until like midnight because they play hide and seek and they have residence olympics.  Seriously I could talk about my district for hours, everyone is so hilarious and so great. I love them all so much. It's crazy because we are all so different but we all get along so well and we don't even care about our different backgrounds or anything we just have so much fun together. They have really strengthened my testimony so much too,  just hearing about all the things that helped them go on missions,or even just hearing their testimonies is so amazing. Well I don't really know what else to say, but I love you guys so much! Just keep sending me dear elders,because I love them!!!
