MOMMY! (and Dad and Zach and Kass)

Sister Egbert is from like... 4 blocks away from here hahah.

But seriously... You have no idea how much I absolutely LOVE my district!! They're seriously some of my closest friends. Me, Sis Egbert, Sis Robinson and Latham (They're in my district and my roomies) were talking about how well we know everyone and feel closer to them after knowing each other for a week than people we've known for years. I seriously have never felt such a strong love for people that I, in reality, barely know. And it's my whole branch really.. Our branch only has my district and another so we're all way tight! But they leave next week :( sad day. So yes we really do leave the 7th.. With the holidays and what not stuff happened so they needed a couple branches to stay longer and they did it by room number... So we're the lucky ones that get to stay an extra week! And also the district going to Jacksonville! So I get to fly out with them(: haha

And only one of my teachers is single Bro Hartshorn. We both went to MV! Crazy right? And we have A LOT of the same friends haha.. He actually dated Betty for a bit.. We think the other is proposing to his girlfriend soon because he was super on edge yesterday hahaha.

I seriously... Have been on overload... You learn SO much. I'm so grateful on so many levels I don't have to deal with a language.. I'm stressed out as it is! hahah But I love it here. And my first few days were the easiest! The past couple days have been a little harder.. But not really that bad. I freaking love the MTC... And the food is definitely not as miraculous as Jameson said it would be.... hahahaha. I like the chocolate milk and the raspberry lemonade...

I've been singing in the choir! I love it so much! You have no idea how much I miss music... And I feel the spirit so much when I sing! I swear half the mtc is trying to get into choir so you have to get there way early if you want a seat. But we've been having so many devotionals! Today we have an apostle coming! Not sure which one?? Everyone is betting it's Holland and that's what the adults keep hinting at so I'm super stoked! 

I really don't know how people don't like the MTC. Our room had THE BEST Christmas eve last night haha. We built a fort and put mattresses down and all slept there ... Let's just say we weren't exactly obedient when it came to bed time last night.. hahah. But it was Christmas eve! It's an exception right?? We read out of Luke, so that makes up for the time we went to bed... hahah. But we were also slipping notes to the sisters next door, they're in our branch. It was hilarious. I'll send you pictures tomorrow. I only have 20 minutes today and they asked us not to upload pictures. But tomorrow is my P Day so I will have pleannnnttyy of time haha.

But I seriously love being a missionary! And I know my Heavenly Father hears my prayers and really does comfort me. I know he put me with this district for a reason. I love these people with all of my heart. He really does know exactly what He's doing, doesn't he ;)

I love you guys! I'll email you more tomorrow(:

Love,

Sister Bradford.
