Katie's first letter!!

Katie has been way busy and hasnt had much time to write. Her first companion was only for a day. Katie was able to take an advancement test for SPANISH and got to skip a class. Her district, companion(she is now in a three-some) and schedule changed!! She is missing her companion but likes where she is at. She wants to be put to work, not sitting in class. She is already thinking of things she forgot or needs.

We still dont know when her p-day is. She promised another letter to us then, she will also set up an email address to email.

She wore her tag and crossed the street somewhere and people saw her and she said she felt like a real missionary. She said all she felt like, "all we do is eat and meet". HA HA!!! Also, "PS. It is so amazing awesome sweet sauce to see so many missionaries in one place, or at one time. (im talking about the cafeteria.)"

One of her teachers is named Hermana Pace and she served with Scott, (Madison's husband) in Chile. She has met other people from Chile, or served there as well.

She has a whole hour of free time now, and is warming up to her new district. She loves all the fruit and choices of food. She said she would be able to teach the first lesson in spanish by tomorrow. YEA!!!

Thats all for now, write her lots! She is doing well. I'll keep you updated.

The Expected DAY

Katie entered the MTC on WED June 10th. Everything went really well. She was calm and very anxious. She wrote the family letters earlier that morning. We took a couple pictures. They have changed the rules so there you are you are no longer allowed inside the MTC. It is now a curb-side goodbye. There were tons of Elders up and down the sidewalk ready to take peoples luggage. We got her mailbox number (WHICH HAS BEEN UPDATED ON THE RIGHT). Mailbox #97. Send her lots of MAIL!!
