Well it's been 2 weeks today! Crazy, it's been slow fast, the days are long (6:15am - 10:30pm) but very rewarding. The first day at the MTC - Missionary Training Center here in Prove, UT was overwhelming to be honest, the hustle and bustle of new missionaries being branded with the "dork dot" (orange sticker you wear for a couple hours your 1st day to show your new), finding your room, being lost, finding your companion, getting an official name tag,... but I've made it through -no longer a "dork" now it's like I've been here for years. I can give guided tours and know the best places to eat HA HA HA!! My companion is Sister Bailey - from Hawaii original - from New Zealand - she had a great accent, and we've been having a great time together. We are a lot a like which has proved to be amusing and we support each other every day. Classes here are great! We have two teachers Brother McConckie, & Brother Heasley very different but both hilarious and great teachers! A regular days schedule goes something like this : wake up 6:15am class at 7 am- 8 am. Breakfast 8- 8:45 am class 9am - 1pm 1pm-1:45 lunch 1:45-6pm class 6-6:45 dinner 6:45-9 class 9-9:30 Daily planning 9:30-10:15pm time to get ready for bad, write in journal, clam down and at 10:15-10:30 guiet time. Lights out at 10:30 PROMPTHY:)! Sometimes there are meetings, gym, personal or companionship study thrown in depending on the day. The Elders here are great! Sister Bailey and I got super lucky yo have and awesome district, 41A yeah! I am loving life here! I'm so happy that I'm on the mission!! All of my outfits are cute and I am getting used to wearing flat shoes and nylons all the time, but It's going great! Thank you for all of your support & love!! Will write more later, I know this church is true with all of my heart!
Love Sister Wingate
