How are you all doing?! So my P-day is Saturday while I'm here at the MTC, just so you know! Thank you so so much for the cinnamon rolls! And for the letters and the jimmy johns and for being awesome. I miss you guys!! (Oops, it's a rule that we're not allowed to say "guys" anymore). I hope you have all been surviving without me, hopefully the swelling in your eyes has gone down by now. And you can also stop wearing black. Just kidding. I'm sure you are having a blast. :)
So wanna hear all about the MTC?! I love it here. The first day was loco craaazy. But I made it through! After grandma and grandpa dropped me off at the curb, my "host" took me around and showed me where everything was. But my eyes may as well have been closed the entire time because I still had no idea where anything was. But there was always someone there showing me where to go. On the first day they give you this big orange dot on your name tag, so everyone knows you're a newbie. They call it a dork dot. So you can only wear it on the first day if you want to be cool. I love my companion! Here name is Sister Jenkins. Crazy story, I added her as a friend on facebook two days before we came out here! We were on this sisters facebook group, and found out we were going to the same place. So we had technically already met before I met her in real life. But anyway she is awesome! I love her to death. We would definitely be friends anyway if we weren't companions. I definitely know the Lord had a hand in choosing her as my companion! She's from Bountiful, Utah, and she went to BYU Provo. At BYU she was friends with some of my friends from Colorado too. We pretty much have all the same interests. So yeah, we've had a lot of fun together! My district is so awesome too. We have an all-girl district, so we get to bond extra hard core. There are 8 of us. Three of us are going to Hawaii, four are going to Denver North, and one to Pocatello Idaho. Ah, I just love them all so much.
Hm, what else? It's super cold here in freezing Utah. I'm going to be honest.... I won't miss being cold for the next 18 months. And I didn't bring a jacket or anything, because I won't need one for Hawaii. Soo I'm just going to tough it out and then I'll enjoy the warmth in Hawaii even more.
Guess what?? They made me get a flu shot!! And guess what happened the next day!? I got the flu. Well, flu-like symptoms. That punk flu shot should be banned from existence. But I was only feeling sick for a couple of hours. And Sister Jenkins is the best and took care of me. So all is well. :)
Our schedule is super busy... no time for lollygaging whatsoevs! (that was for you dad). Waking up at 6:30 actually isn't that hard. I literally don't remember the last time I woke up the first time my alarm went off. But it's been cool not being tired in the morning. It's more like half way through the day that I hit a wall of sleepiness... But that'll probably go away as I get more used to the schedule. I love my teachers. They are so cool. Dad, I can see why you loved teaching at the MTC. I'm sure the missionaries loved you too, you would be great at that! It's so cool learning about the gospel all day every day. (Well it's only been three days but it feels like forever!). The spirit is so strong at the MTC. I have already learned and grown so much. I think Heavenly Father has definitely given me a greater capacity to learn here. The spirit is the the most important and powerful tool. It's also really important to pay attention to all the tender mercies the Lord has given me. I feel so blessed. Heavenly Father is really looking out for me, and sends me so many blessings. I love this gospel! I know that the only way to be truly happy is through living righteously.
Well, sorry I'm not very eloquent. I'll work on that. But you asked for details, so I gave you details! (Haha dad go ahead and send that email that says "LESS." I wouldn't be offended). But if you have any specific questions to ask I'll answer those next time! I can't remember if there's anything I'm forgetting to tell you. Just know that I love you all so much!! And I miss you!
Mom, HAPPY BIRTHDAY on Monday!!! I'll be thinking about you! Seriously, you are the BEST. I'd be lucky if I turned out half as wonderful as you. I mean that. Boys, do something super duper uber nice for mom! Don't fight and clean up extra and write her a card and give her flowers. And refrain from saying WOW MOM... at least on Monday. :)
I love you!!
Sister Sage Sabey
