Jessie in Georgia: YAY MTC MTC!!!!!! - Mission Training Center, Provo Utah

BELLO!!!

This email is so long I apologize in advance BUT if you just want to look at my photos scroll to the bottom!

Let me start off by saying I have the best district in the entire world. I genuinely love them with all of my heart!!! We've been having an absolute blast and everything (except the food) is so much better than I was anticipating! Ok the food isn't that bad especially because they have to like mass produce it for the entire MTC but the people were raving about the food before so I feel jipped. Some of it is so delish though. Anyway let's go through my week!

Saturday: My brain was lowkey fried from online mtc all week so I ended up asking my alexa what year it was three separate times. I've convinced myself it's 2025 all too often. I went to target for some last minute things and then had class. After my first class a bunch of my cousins and aunts came over for a TEA PARTY! How fun is that! I love womanhood. Then I had the last class of the day and some of my favorite people ever came over to give me a little gift and say bye. I love them so much. You know who you are.

Sunday:I taught primary for the last time today and it's so bittersweet! I love love love my 5 year olds and I'll miss them so much but I'm going to be doing great things somewhere else! I packed all day after church and had GYOZA FOR DINNER! I am going to miss Japanese food so much. Some more people came by to say bye! I love my family!

Monday:Last day at home! I'm going to miss my bed so bad!!! I can't facetime my bed. Sister Lord and I taught our very first lesson online!! It went so amazingly well! We let the spirit take over the lesson and it flowed sooooo good. I feel so cool rn. I ran some errands with mom and then packed up last minute things and let mom take control of my suitcases because she's magical. I watched my last movie before the mission (Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) UGHH I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!! My last meal at home was In-N-Out. I loved it. Life hack! We got wendy's fries instead of fries from In-N-Out because they're so much better lol.

Tuesday: I woke up at 5:30 (same as every day this week because I'm already on utah time) I said goodbye to my Mom and Dad and flew to salt lake! Grandma Janna took me out to lunch and we played games all afternoon. Jerry came to pick me up and we met Andrew at costa vida. After that, we went to Trader Joe's to buy some flowers to hand out to strangers! We did that for basically the rest of the night. So fun.

Wednesday: This morning, Andrew and I went on a walk around provo and then we went with Jerry to Joe's Cafe! It was so delish I got pancakes and hash browns and bacon and orange juice. Then we took a short nap at home and then went to jamba juice before dropping me off at the MTC!!!! I gave my phone to Andrew (bye bye iphone hello google phone) and then unloaded my stuff and said goodbye! I went through a building and got my new phone and a bunch of papers to deal with and then headed to my room with my luggage. I got to meet up with my district and THEY ARE SO CUTE AND COOL I LOVE THEM! We got to know each other a bit more before heading to class to meet the elders! Ate my first MTC meal. It looked kind of scary but I ate it anyway.

Thursday: This morning we woke up at 6:20 to go play volleyball. Worth it. I HAD A BAGEL FOR BREAKFAST. I cannot tell you how much I missed bagels. I love them so. freaking. bad. All day we dilly dallied with our district all day. We went to the store for the first time and bought too many things. We had some good classes and then had our first district! I was appointed district scribe. All I have to do is take notes in meetings and then send them to our groupchat lol! I have a job hooray! Ugh I love our district!!!

Friday (today):This morning we played volleyball for 2 hours and it was sooo fun. I loved it so much. I missed playing every week!! We went to the store again and I bought some mints for my bag. Much needed. Now, I'm writing this email!!!!!! I'm going to stop writing so I can go play ping pong with my district.

I love you! The Lord loves you!
