First letter in the MTC June 16 2013

Did you guys not get my letter? I sent it last week...it should have gotten to you! I love your dear elders! keep sending them! I love to read them and get mail! it makes me sad when someone doesn'

t have a letter and the rest do. I'm doing laundry right now. its pretty weird. I forgot my quarters today, but next thursday. Haha i wrote grandma and grandpa a letter. I just need to send it along with another one for you guys. The first few days were slow. sitting that long was not very fun. But now, its a lot better! once sunday came, it went pretty fast! HOORAY! The Cebuano is coming along quite nicely. Sometimes it is frustrating, but then its alright. We had to teach our first investigator last friday....wait for it....in CEBUANO! What the heck? it was supper humbling. Oh and im not worrying about spelling...i have to get everything out. Hahah so please excuse it. It is so hard to communicate what we want with Edeline because we can't speak the language very well yet, but we usually can kinda get it out what we want. Many hand signals. haha we were trying to teach her how to pray and we just told her to follow us so we got on the ground and it was hilarious. we teach Edaline in a little room in which ever building she is in that day. We think she is our other teacher, but we'll find out today. some of her pictures are on a shelf so we kinda figure its her. Our other teacher is Bro Pasikala. he's pretty funny! Ask Jacob where Sterling is! I've been looking for him! Thank you for the crocs! Everybody wears them and my shoes are a little big when i put those socks on. I cant walk. haha i look so stupid! I can bear my testimony and pray. we have to bear our testimonies 10 times a day. we have learned so much i feel that i have been her for weeks! but it has only been one. if we weren't doing the Lord's work, this would not be possible. The church is so true!!!!! The food is pretty good. I've never had so much in my entire life! the meals are big too. I have to work on not eating it all...haha it is just so good! KIERSTIN!!!!! I see here ALL the time! I saw Kelsey, Sister Foutz, in the bathroom and she said Kierstin is just on the 3rd floor so we ran upstairs and surprised her! It was AMAZING! We are at the main mtc. and Grant, and Jackson, and i guess Rylie and Tyler too. I haven't seen the last two yet. I'm keeping my eyes open. oh. real quick. Watch the Braodcast on Tuesday. I'll be "singing" in it. No big deal or anything. And we went to the Mariott center for devotional on Tuesday. It was the first time ever. historic. Ive been scoping out the place for Aunt Suzi and Uncle Jesse. I have lunch around 1:10, I think, I'll let you know when it gets closer, and the map is right outside the cafeteria. i have seen a few couple missionaries and i always think of them and can't wait to see them here! My companion is Sister Bateman. She's from Idaho. (you da ho). She's nice and fun! sometimes crazy, but hey, its alright. more in my letter. hahahahahah E my district is pretty amazing too. we only have one set of elders. elder hatch and Ferris. elder hatch is from Utah, and Elder Ferris from new Zealand. pretty sick accent. there are 8 sisters. and 6 of them are in my room. including me. What else do you want to know about? I feel like i am just rambling on and on. i'll try to send pictures. i had to get a sd reader at the book store. oh and will you send my crocs? The one with holes in the heals, everybody has them. haha. and im glad i have many shirts! I thought i had a lot, but i really don't. so if you happen to find any or any cute skirts, send them my way with some cookies! We get to go to the temple later! I'm excited! Oh and one of Camron Webster's cousins is here! Elder Flake. It was funny. I met this Elder at the airport while we both were waiting for our people, and i saw him again at gym and said someone in my district thinks he knows you. It was kinda weird and then he asked if i knew Camron and as he was saying that I remembered him! It was funny. Now i see them all the time. How is everything there going?? Love ya! Sister Sawyer I dont have a name anymore...haha it's weird.
