Hola ustedes!
It is so surreal to wear a missionary tag. Haha I still don't think that the reality of it has really sunk in.
The MTC is filled with so many amazing missionaries. And I feel so privileged to be apart of this. I've also ran into many friends here too! Sister Beck, Elder Koch, Sister Johnson, Sister Lloyd.
So it's only been a couple days at the MTC, but I feel like it's been weeks. It's been insanely busy. We all wake up at 6:30 am and we don't really have a break until we go to bed at 10:30. This has been a big change! I'm very tired most of the time, but hopefully It will get better.
I also have two wonderful companions! Sister Nadee is from St. Lucia ( the Caribbean) and she is the only member in her family. She got baptized 4 years ago and her conversion story is amazing. She is such a good example to me! My other companion Sister Pierce is from Idaho. Her flight was delayed so sister Nadee and I didn't meet her until Wednesday evening. But she's also great. She has a smile on her face most of the day haha which is a good thing.
Learning the language actually hasn't been that tough. This week we have been reviewing basic core which is what I learned previously in spanish 2. I have also remembered words that I haven't studied in years which has been such a testimony to me of the gift of tongues ( being able to speak a different language ). I thought that the gift of tongues would come instantly, but it comes gradually with hard work and study!
Being a missionary is not easy, but I am so excited for what is ahead of me.
I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
Sister Pulver
