Week 2

Its Week 2 and this time next week Ill be on a plane to Hawaii! 

Our district (Comprised of 4 elders and 4 sisters) is so close, it's going to be unbelievably hard to leave next Monday. Teaching is becoming easier and but I don't think 3 months of role playing could be enough, I guess Ill just have to jump straight in and start learning right in the field. 

Gym time is amazing and I spend most of it beating the Elders at Horse with my stellar threes (Pause to turn and smirk at Elder Hatch) and you get to know so many people during that time because everyone is super nice and just loving the MTC.

The weather is finally nice, we even had class outside, but all my southern elders and sisters were still cold. They do a good job here with flowers and everything, which makes it all a bit less prison like. (; Sometimes being outside is the only thing that is out of our routine so we enjoy slowly walking....we even found a bee and spent 10 minutes giving it water and nuturing it back to health. (Yes it was exciting, trust me you'll understand someday if you go to the MTC.)

We had Chik-Fil-A yesterday and it was amazing. If anyone would like to mail me Chik-Fil-A I would not oppose.

I hope everyone is enjoying life as much as I am (I highly doubt that) but I love getting pictures, especially pictures of us together so I can show my district! (: Love you all!

I am super excited for Hawaii but I would rather stay here with my district... I am so unbelievably happy here and never want to leave. Elder Maxwell, Elder Ridgwell, and elder Hatch are some of my closest friends in the whole world, it's going to hurt me so much when I leave.

We are teaching 2 new investigators this week and I'm getting better at it but it's still hard because I have a lot of knowledge about the gospel but have to completely forget all of that and teach people that God loves them and how to pray haha. I bought a journal last week finally and so far it is pretty cool, I feel really official with it. 

I love you and think about you lots, next time we talk I'll be in Hawaii and I can't wait to hear from You then!! 

Love, 

Sister Bowen
