Hey Everybody!!

Second, I have my travel plans. I am on Delta Air Lines Flight 4753. I am leaving the MTC at 4:30 am, and my flight leaves at 8:45 am. When I get out of security and find my gate, I am going to call you. I am going to buy a calling card, so you wont have to worry about that. My entire district is on same flight!! It was so exciting to figure that out!! We are all excited to get out into the field, and start teaching!!

This week has been very crazy, I have decided that I don't want to go to the clinic again. It is not my favorite place. Thankfully the people are all nice, and they know my name :P Like I said, more will be explained in my letter that you should be getting today or tomorrow. (Chaylee's stomach became very painful. They became concerned that she had appendicitis and so they sent her to the hospital for a CT scan. It turns out that it was not appendicitis, just a really bad stomach bug. Thankfully)

A sister training leader is like a district leader, but only for the sisters. I am supposed to make sure that all is well with them, and things are going smoothly. I wasn't able to show the new sisters around on Wednesday, because my doctor told me that I had to stay in bed, which was really sad. :( I did say hi to them, and introduced myself. I have talked to them a few times, and they seem to be excited. They are all from Utah. It is kinda funny.

I am feeling much better. I can keep my food down, and am not having any more pain in my abdomen, which is so very nice. The only bad thing is that I feel like I am living in a fog, and I am very dizzy all the time. I am going to drink lots of water and Gatorade, and we are hoping that it is because I am dehydrated. Cross your fingers!!

They still do have devotional on Tuesdays, but I wasn't able to go to that, because once again, I was told to stay in bed by my doctor. On Sunday the cheerleader coach for BYU talked to the sisters in Relief society, and we had a couple that works at the school here to talk to us at the fireside.

My companion says it is crazy in Nigeria. We like talking about each others countries with each other, and comparing how she lived to how I lived :P She lived there for a year, but her family have lived there for 2. I have a roommate for Hawaii, and she is amazing!! She is 24, and like it when we call her g-ma :P It is exciting. My other roommate is from Houston TX.  We all love each other!!

I tell everybody that I grew up in Georgia, and that currently my home is in Saudi Arabia. I love seeing there faces when they hear that!!

I love you so much!! Talk to you soon!!

Hello Family,

The past couple of days have been great :) I am learning a lot, and absolutely love my companion and my roommates :)

Things are going well. It is very busy here, and I am so glad that it is P-day. However, we had to wake up even earlier than we did not on P-day. We had to do service at 6:05 this morning. It was a little early. :P

My companion is great. She actually went to BUYI and her family is living in Nigeria. It is fun having her here :) My roommates are also in my district. Out of the two new missionary districts that we talk to, there are only 4 girls. That is 4 girls to 16 guys. We are a little out numbered :P it is fun though :) One of my roommates is from Hawaii, and the other is from Houston Texas. We are all going to Redlands California, English speaking :) It is really fun :)

The food here is good. I am eating more than I normally do, but I am not getting enough sleep. I am so tired, I just keep hoping that by Sunday my body will adjust, and everything will be better :)

I am learning a lot about the gospel, and the way I learn. .

I love you guys!! I will be on again a little later today. We get 60 mins total every P-day. Which is more than Tysha and Shanae had, it is a new thing. They are trusting the missionaries more, but if we do something wrong, it all gets taken away.
