Natalie's first email from the MTC


My companion Sister Beard-- ILOVE HER!!!!! we are so simular it crazy actually how much we have in common. 
 
Okay so General conference WAS AMAZING!!! I was listening to the talks and thinking about you all! I thought about how blessed I am to have you as a family! I have been so blessed with worthy priesthood holders and a family that is just amazing!! I was missing watching it with you guys in pjs. But It was like johnny said... MTC version of the super bowl! Ha we were in the stands!! So many people here!!! Ha also I saw this kid with a tie that blows up into a pillow it was so funny!
 
Oh and in the rooms we found NArnia holes... :) thats where previous missionaries leave notes or candies.. So they are in the vents or on top of dressers! Ha I thought it was cool! We might leave something for the people that come in ours!
 
But I love the MTC it really is so great! I love seeing people I feel like my whole school is here! I see Elder.. Porter, Barker, Priest, loveless, endmands all the time and I see Sister Peays-- They are my favorite to see! Ha I love them!!
 
Also I went running for gym time! The first few days we didnt get to and I thought I was going to go crazy! The days are kinda long here... but its okay I still love it!
 
Thank you so much for the packages and notes and everything it reallly helps :)
 
Vocal point came and sang sunday!1 It was great also when the priesthood session was going sisters watched the younge woman broadcast and it was amazing! I want Ukdorfs Talk!!!!!
 
Oh things that surprised me about the MTC was that:
 
there is a schedule but you decide what you study
 
We only have one teacher because there are not enough portuguese teachers--so its a bummer and we havent even taught in portuguese yet
 
You dont have someone watching you all the time
 
There are alot of people that wear way short skirts... no one checks you it really up to you. But I would sudjest to anyone to just get long skirts and be 100% obedient because that way the lord will bless you and there will be miracles!
 
It is not as bad as I thought! I am glad I scared myself though before coming in cause it was better then I thought! I miss you all so much!
