I AM A MISSIONARY! its weird to be on the emailing
missionary side of all this! but man do i love being a missionary! It
still shocks me to see the name tag in my reflection! But I feel the mtc
is a GIANT spiritual dump truck where you learn SOO MUCH that its hard
to take it all in!! The only way to grow is by being strectched right?!
but its so great, Im enjoying my time (:
Well I am in a
tricompanionship! Extra blessings! I am with sister Hartley from Iowa
city and sister Wilkens from Georgia! i love them both to pieces
already! We all are going to Mongolia, so we are struggling through the
language together! (: So our district there is five of us with two
elders elder disney and elder mulder and there is one other district
with two sisters and two elders, in which makes 9 of us going to
Mongolia! (:
In our Zone or branch there
about 25 missionaries total and the majority of them are from way cool
places and most of them are going to temple square, Germany France,
Switzerland, Russia, Spain, Argentina, Brasil, South Korea, Tahita,
Tonga. So diverse but all the missionaries going to mongolia are from
the states haha!
So I have seen Colby or Elder
Robbins everyday I've been here! Its so awesome to see him even though
its only handshakes! such a little blessing but the yesturday in the
cafeteria he asked if i had seen Mikaela or sister Anderson and i hadnt.
So he went and looked for her and he found her with his companion and
started walking back towards us with her and her companion, where we
were sitting, but I seriously popped up as fast as i could told my
companions where i was going and went straight for her. I now know how
moses felt, cause I had to the part the many seas of missionaries to get
to her. I seriously attacked her with a hug, I was soo excited! I was
crying tears of happiness. When we finally stopped hugging, Colby
standing by us said, "Bailey I dont think I've ever seen you run so fast
in your life." haha! well thats pretty true I dont like running (but I
hadnt realized I had been running? whoops..) But that was so awesome and
such a huge blessing!! I love her! #blessed
NEVER
FEAR! I am being fed! i was for sure afraid there was no food here, but
there is and i love the food especially the one too many desserts i
normally get... (: #ilovefood
On the first day
we sang army of Helaman and they changed the words from we are as the
lords missionaries to we are the lords missionaries! It was super cool! I
am a missionary! (whoa! still shocks me! haha)
Well things are great and weve survived! Tomorrow
we teach our first investigator all in Mongolian and so far we've only
had one Mongolian lesson! Its going to be soo good, Im excited! (:
Thanks to Griffin I know a few things! #thanksgriffin
Well I have to go! Happy pday which is friday for me in the MTC! (: Have a great week! Love you all!

Hurray for missionary emails! She sounds so good.
ReplyDeleteWow 9!! That's as big as my district was, only there are more sisters, which is great because I was worried that Bennett Egch might not be with many American sisters while in Mongolia. But five from her own group! Can't ask for more than that! Let the adventures begin!
