Hola! Saturday’s will be my P-day in the MTC so that’s when you can expect emails from me for the next 6 weeks.
I got here on Wednesday afternoon, after a long morning of flying. It was a super overwhelming first day because so much information was thrown at me (mostly en Espanol). But that evening we got to practice teaching lessons, in a group setting, and all of my stress just melted away because I was reminded why I’m here and why I want to serve a mission.
It is still difficult adjusting to a rigorous schedule and having limited communication with my family, but the Spirit is just amazing here and I’m so grateful to be a missionary.
I’ve already been asked lots of questions about mi companera, but she just arrived last night from the Philippines. She has already served 7 months there, while she was waiting on visas for the US and for El Salvador. Even though I barely know her, it such a miracle that she’s here, and I am REALLY grateful that she’s my companion. I promise I’ll get a picture with her for next week!
I’m learning so much at the MTC, both about the gospel and about my mission language. It’s amazing to be here, training to be able to bring a message of hope and peace to other people. I love my district and the people I’ve met (including 5 other missionaries who are supposed to go to Puerto Rico!)
If you have any more questions you can email me today. I might be able to respond since I have an iPad while I’m here in the MTC.
Love,
Hermana O’Barr
