3RD LETTER NEW ZEALAND MTC

MOM. You hate me. You didn’t even email meL i still love you though and care about you guys so much. Last night we were watching some devotional at the provo mtc (i totally saw Cameron foster in the video) but elder nielson was talking and he was saying how we need to pray and ask Heavenly Father to send us for specific people who have passed on to help us with our mission. So then I got thinking about it... isn’t it weird that grandpa died like right when i left for my mission? I know he will be there to help me throughout this journey.

I think i jinxed myself last week when i said i don’t know why everyone says a mission is so hard. Right after my email me and my companion had to go teach a progressive investigator... and we did so bad. My companion doesn’t even talk. It was just me talking the whole time and when she does talk it doesn’t make sense and she teaches false doctrine. So my teacher (who was the progressive investigator) got really mad at us (mostly her). Because we are a sucky companionship. Haha then he made me tell her everything that bothers me about her and I was yelling at her telling her how sucky of a teacher she was... haha it was so bad and I was so frustrated. This past week has been so hard and stressful. There hasn’t been a single moment where I haven’t been on the verge of tears.

Tomorrow I leave for wellington and I am so scared. Its weird not knowing who im going to be spending the next 12 weeks  with/ where im going to be sleeping/ wether or not im going to be good at this whole thing. I am so scared. Pray for me.

Tongans are so strange. I thought they were cool at first but the more I am around them the more weirded out I get haha. Like they don’t brush their teeth, they haven’t showered once since theyve been here, they blow their nose into their hands... haha its so weird.

Me and my American roommate (sister Bromley-whos going to wellington too) are really good friends. We stay up really late every night and just talk. We both just love talking and once we start talking we cannot stop talking. I love her so much. She reminds me of Tasia Kimball alot. She is so fun and everyone LOVES her. I am so blessed to have her as a roommate and im begging heavenly father to let me be companions with her before I come home.

I wish i had more time to write. I only had 30 minuites to write you today. But im writing a letter. I would have sent you a letter sooner but they don’t give us stamps in here. I love you so much. I hope everything is going ok with everything. Hey can you send me another skirt extender and more undershirts.

Ohh and I got like 30 free pairs of silky garment bottoms. They are the old ones too so they fit really well!!!
