Dear Family!
HOLY beans. First day. Check. When they say your immersed in the work your first day, they're not kidding. We're led away by a host to our rooms which, first miracle of the day, was Christie Bunnell! I like started tearing up when I saw her, not sure why... I think a tsunami of emotions and one familiar face made my whole world feel peaceful.
We went straight to our trainers who spoke ZERO English. But we're speaking our language 100% or at least what we know at ALL times. It's super fun! Yes yes there's SO much to take in, but letting myself get overwhelmed isn't the best way to cope. So I just keep smiling and make it a game :). I LOVE the MTC.
My first companion!! She's from FINLAND, k and I'm already picking up her accent. Her name is Sister Kervina (care-veena) and is a GEM. Seriously. Instant best friends? Ya, they happen. I get her for 6 whole weeks! Yeah!! :D Laughing and playing the speak the Deutch we DON'T know.
I'll write more about the sisters in my room, some from Scotland, another from Finland, Utah, Utah... I think ... haha a lot to remember. All the accents rock :).
2nd miracle: saw sister Rachel Lieshman form UVCC. 3rd miracle: Brought an extra face scrub totally last minute without thinking too much about it and turns out I left my first one at home. heavenly Father is watching out for me. Oh, 4th miracle. My little closet was LOADED with hangers and no one else's were. So I gave some extras out, but had enough to hand up some things :).
I love you all SO much. They've got good multi-tasking tactics here. Work so hard that you don't think about home. Ha ask me in a week... Anyway :). Talk to ya'll soon!
Love,
Sister Packer
- My shoes are AWESOME. Zero problems :) :) :).
-There are so many sisters that are foreign it's crazy! I'm learning a Scottish and Finnish accent ;).
Oh P.S! I was made Sister Training leader yesterday (June 13)! I'm so humbled and blessed! Pray for my sisters!
