Spirit of Adventure

It's only been one week?? It feels like I've already been here for a month! The first few days were hard, and I'm just starting to get over the jet lag. But so far, my MTC experience has been wonderful! We are in class basically all day every day. Either that or in a meeting. We only get small breaks, but I'm definitely grateful for those! Every day here feels like a week because of how long they are and how much stuff we've done. It's incredible to see how much someone can change in only one week. I have felt the Spirit so strongly since the moment I got here. Every now and then, it was hard because I would miss everyone back home,  but the more I tried to be completely obedient to the Missionary Handbook, and lose myself in the work, the Spirit would always grow stronger, and I would feel a sense of peace. I know that the Lord blesses his missionaries and gives us SO MUCH strength so we can do his work.
Okay, LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS....
I am currently in a district with 7 missionaries. 3 Elders, and 4 Sisters. They are  all wonderful and my district leader is also great! 2 of the Elders are from Italy, one of the Sisters is from Albania, and my companion is from Jamaica. The rest of us are from America. We have a pretty fun district :)
So far, I've met some really good people and I'm learning and growing so much! The Spirit is so strong here and I feel almost like a different person.
Until next week! Love you all!

P.S. We have a word of the day in our district, and all the missionaries have been adding to our vocabulary. So now, I'm learning lots of different languages, including Albanian, Swedish, and Welsh. So, I'll share one of the words with you guys.
This week's word is: Uomo-Ragno (Spider-man in Italian)
