Yo Yo Yo

Heyo errbody!
Let me just start by saying thanks for all the letters. Wait, jokes on me, you didn't send me anything Mom and Dad. Haha it's fine I know we're all very, very busy! I know that I am.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT HERE!! My companion is amazing. Her name is Sister Harris and she's from Utah. She is freaking hilarious and we always have such a great time together! We are always laughing and joking around but can also be serious together when we are studying and preparing to teach some lessons. Actually, our whole district (a group of 6 companionships) is all fabulous! There is Sister Nunez and Sister Mortensen, Sister Collier and Sister Bowers, Elder Call and Elder Mickelsen, Elder Whipple and Elder Farb, and Elder Larson and Elder Whitlock. They are all great and we get along so well. It's crazy how much people give up to be here. Elder Call skipped his high school graduation to come to the MTC! Could you even imagine?? Hard pass. But he is totally loving it and it is so cool to meet and learn about so many new people. We've all become so close and I am so thankful for such wonderful new friends. And the majority of my district is all going to Calgary too so that's super cool knowing that I'll probably see them again too (fingers crossed!).
So the food is decent...I think we all know how picky of an eater I am so some meals can get pretty difficult. But Elder Call got a package today and it had Nutella in it and he let me have some and I was so happy! Ha dang, I missed that stuff and it's only been like what four days or something? Who's keeping count anyway. The days are so long but go by so fast. Does that even make any sense? We wake up before six most days so we can make it to the Sisters work out at six in the gym. We did some yoga and some kick boxing class which was pretty coolio, I admit I only went because I wanted to here some music. Lol. We can't even play gospel music from speakers in the MTC or dance, so I'm having a bit of trouble with that but I'll throw in a little happy dance when I eat something delicious or have personal revelation and we sing hymns at the beginning and end of class each day so that's way nice! Class is great. I am learning so much here about not only myself but how I can teach what I know to be true to others. We do a lot of praying, which is so helpful. I know I wouldn't be able to do this without the help of my Father in Heaven. I can't even count the number of times he has helped me just in the last 24 hours!! It's amazing the spirit that we feel here at the MTC. Right when Kenzie, Kim, and Mal dropped me off it just hits you so strong getting out of the car. Tears have came many times but never sad tears, just happy tears yay! We just have so many things to do here, I mean it's only just past eleven o'clock and we have already done so much! We're reading so much from the Book of Mormon and from Preach My Gospel and you'd think with the amount of reading I did growing up I would totally hate it but I actually LOVE it. And the studying. It's overwhelming but with all the information and inspiration I get from it it's totally worth it! And I have the help of my companion, and my district, and my teachers. The teachers here are amazing. They have so much wisdom to share with us about serving a mission and teaching people about the gospel. They even get into character and pose as investigators for us to teach them. Sister Harris and I get to teach the investigator Charly and Amy. Our first lesson with Charly....could've been better haha but we learned from our mistakes and applauded what we did right and when we got to Amy's lesson later in the evening we saw such a difference in our teaching and the interest shown by the investigator. It is so cool to see the spirit doing it's thing and working on us as missionaries and also our investigators. I seriously love the feeling I get whenever I talk about Christ and our Heavenly Father. AHHHh I could talk about it forever. But I won't because we only have so much time here.
Well I'd love to hear from you, all of you!!!! Mom and Dad: how's work? how's the fam? Anna and Logan: how's Lynx? and my new baby niece or nephew? and Fletcher: how's summer going dude? TELL ME EVERYTHING. oh and send my pictures! sorry I can't send you any this week...I can't find that little do-dad that connects my pictures to the computer..probably shoulda packed my own suitcase-THANK YOU SARAH! (you're welcome)
Well, I love you all and I am so so so so thankful for everything that you have done for me growing up. I couldn't have asked for anything else. I love you so much and pretend I'm giving you a big hug right now!
xoxo Love,
Sister Davis
