6 days down!

"Seesters, lift up your hearts and rejoice." Yep, that's a direct quote from Nacho Libre. We like to quote that a lot here. I've talked to a lot of people that went to skyridge. My pday is Tuesdays if you couldn't tell. My district is the BEST and I love them so much. We laugh about everything all the time. Our district is going to 6 different missions! Apparently that's really rare. I am the only one going to Michigan and my comp is the only one going to San Jose California. Others are going to San bernadino California, Oregon, Florida, and Idaho.

My companion is sister Anderson. She's from Farmington and has nothing in common with me, but somehow we are best friends. She puts up with me and sometimes she will agree to take the stairs. 

Our district four square games during exercise time get super intense! We are very competitive and get very pumped up. Today we're gonna play spike ball and I'm so excited! One of the elders in my district is engaged so that's weird. Another elder has a phobia of trying new foods, but he seems do be doing well so far.

Sister Weston is teaching me how to do the splits! She use to be a ballerina. We stretch every night! It hurts a lot. My goal is to be able to do the splits by the time I come home. She is the most flexible person I ever met. It's actually a little scary. She thinks that I'll be able to do the splits in about a year.

General conference was amazing! I loved all of it but I especially loved Elder Christofferson's talk in the first session. He said that joy of the saints is enduring and not temporary. I know that's true because even though the food at the MTC is gross, or we feel like we've been here forever and it's only been a few days, I feel so happy. I testify that the gospel of Jesus Christ brings peace and happiness. Even when times are tough the gospel gives us the tools to get through it.

Love you all!
