I am back on now! Only for a little bit but I forgot to tell you. We got our flight plans so on Tuesday we leave the MTC at 4:30 in the morning! I think our flight leaves at 8:30 so I don't know if I will get to call at the Salt Lake Airport or in California. But I'm pretty sure sometime that morning I will be able to call! I know I shouldn't be overwhelmed but sometimes I can't help it. I don't know if we can send pictures from the MTC and if we can I have no idea how haha. So hopefully next week you will get pictures.
I really do enjoy all of your letters but I have zero time to read them and zero time to respond to them so sorry if I don't answer all your questions or get to everything you need. Did I tell you there was a girl in our district that was really close to going home? She got a blessing from an Elder in our district and now she is staying! We were all praying really hard for her so we are glad she is deciding to stay.
Like I said it has been really hard having a companion. The only alone time we have is when we are showering basically haha. She is really nice and has a really strong testimony, but other than that we have nothing in common. She did band and played computer games and stuff like that so we don't really have much to talk about except our boyfriends so that's usually what we talk about haha, sorry dad. She is very punctual and when you ask the time she'll say like 1:19 and then I'll say something like okay so we have 20 minutes left and she doesn't allow that extra minute. She makes every minute count, where I just round up the minutes so that sounds dumb but it's so frustrating! It's just weird how little things like that can get on our nerves. The rest of the sisters are all really cool though so we usually stick together so it's not so awkward. The food is actually surprisingly good! There are some meals that are better than others but that's okay. Overall it's great. Oh Sunday! Sunday was awesome. We had Relief Society all together as sisters and then had Sacrament Meeting as a zone. It was very very spiritual and the whole week everyone just kept telling us to make it to Sunday and we'll be fine. Now I know why. It was different than any other day and it was so good. We also got to watch the Joseph Smith movie so that's always good as well.
Overall, I am happy beyond belief. Some days are harder than others but there is nowhere else I would rather be. I know I am here for a reason and that I am learning and growing for the people in Riverside. You have all been such a help and like I said the letters are a good source of motivation. Keep em comin' :) Packages are also welcome :) Everyone always makes fun of me cause I always get the most letters and my companion has only gotten one.. I have like 25 haha. Anyway, I love you all and I miss you but I want you to know that I am doing so so good and I love it here :) You are in my prayers!
Love,
Sister Anderson :)
