Sister Matchett left the MTC and arrived in California on Tuesday morning. She arrived safely and got right to work. (I apologize about the blog update being so late. Hopefully we'll get on a better schedule now and will have weekly updates). She hopes to send pictures with her next email, soooo check back soon! If you want to send her a letter or package, please use the "California Address" :)
Here's her first email (she has a limited amount of time, so try not to judge her grammar and spelling too harsly...and no, i'm not going to edit it :) )
The MTC experience is wonderful! I love every second of it- I have made so many friends, have amazing teachers, and love the atomsphere because you can feel the spirit here 24/7- I LOVE IT. My classes are great, most of my district is going to the same mission I am expect my companion (while at the MTC) and two of our other sisters that are going to the Arcadia California Mission. We all get along so well! Our branch President, President Brown, is really nice and has been such a joy to work with. My companion, Sister Kretchman, is really cool- she's alot like me and we have so much in common. It'snot by accident we were put together.I have been called( while at the MTC) as a sister training leader. Crazy, right? ME of all people lol I have learned to love all of the new sisters as well as our district- we are so close as zone and the spirit is always with us when we hang out. I love them so much! When we were in class we were talking about teaching people, not lessons- and one thing that really stuck out to me was truly listening to the spirit when your teaching because your simply guiding that person to come to Christ through his doctrines and love. I have learned so much on how to be a better missionary since I got here. I love getting to know and love all these people we are and will be teaching. I will be here till september 17, so till next tuesday- then I'm off to California for the real deal . It's crazy to think that I'll be out there so soon! My Flight leaves at 3am, so yay!! I love getting up early now, funny right? haha I still am surprised lol I hope you are doing well, that classes are going well. Lmk how everything is going! If anything new comes up, tell everyone I say hello and that I hope their good with whatever is going on with them. I love you all so much, and am grateful for your support and wish you all the best. Next email I'll send you some pictures with my group, companion, etc- promise!
I wish you the best, and know that savior watches over his children and that he loves each one of us. I know that this is where I need to be, and pray for you both and everyone else every night- may god watch over you throughout the week. I'm going to go the Provo Temple today- so I'll let you know how that goes!
Thank you so much for your support, love, and example.
Love you,
Sister Matchett :)
