What the Cott

Hello everyone!

I made it safe & sound! So on my flight here, a man had a seizure, so
we landed 45 minutes early! He was okay, just dehydrated. After I
landed, the Christensens picked me up & took Kassie and I to us to get
our "last meal". I met up with my old roommate & her mom there too!
After that they dropped Kassie & I off at the MTC. The MTC feels like
a big ol upside down roller coaster with a large optional seatbelt.
Everything is very structured, but we have to have the discipline and
obedience to create and follow our own schedule. My companions name is
Sister Whatcott. She is from lakeside Arizona. We have 10 Elders and
Sisters in our district. All of the Sisters are going to Macon
Georgia! Two Elders are going to Washington & the other two are going
to Washington DC (North). President Uchtdorf made a surprise
appearance Sunday! He was walking into one of the buildings and all
of the missionaries flooded around him. I felt bad for him. But it was
awesome to see an Apostle in the flesh & blood!! The spirit vibes
around him, it was crazy! Speaking of the spirit, it is so strong in
the MTC. It's so amazing here. I am in the newest building, they
literally opened it a week or two ago. There are about two murals on
each floor, and scriptural references everywhere. Ill have to take a
picture of one for you next week. The MTC is definitely not anything
like I expected and I am definitely not used to a 24/7 companion, but
the transition hasn't been too bad! I love one of my MTC teachers,
Sister Moon, because she is hilarious & easygoing. My first real
investigator is Spanish, so teaching her reminds me a lot of Caroline.
I love teaching & meeting new people! I'm also learning a lot too,
which I am grateful about. I asked my district leader to give me a
blessing & it was the best one I have ever received from someone who
is not a father.

Speaking of Fathers, HAPPY FATHERS DAY! I love & appreciate all of the
fatherly figures in my life, especially my dad! Thank you for all the
support, love, and guidance! You know who you are.

Funny story, I checked two of my bags & apparently security picks
random bags to check. They picked one of mine & in the back of my bag
was my "shoe compartment", where I kept a Book of Mormon guide helper.
I went to pull it out & there was a slip in it that told me my bag had
been checked for security. Kind of funny how in all of the pockets or
places the airport security could have placed it, they put it in that
book. Touching hearts without even trying.

While I am in the MTC I have an iPad, so I can receive emails the
minute you send them, but for the next two weeks my P day is Tuesday!
So I can respond on Tuesdays. Please email me :) I forgot to write
down emails before I left.

Love & miss you all! Especially my family 😊
Have a great week,
Sister Morrill
