Letter from Sister Worthen, July 13, 2013

Hey.  How are ya?  I love it here.  There is so much going on.  I feel like I have been here a lifetime.  I cannot believe how fast time moves in the MTC.  It is ridiculous.  My companion and I are getting along great.  I will say that at times I am having a lot of trouble focusing, but that is one of my flaws that I need to work on.  We did an evaluation and diligence is not one of my strong-suits.  hahahahaha

I feel like we shove so much into our day, and by the end, we don't know whether what we did was today, yesterday, or a week ago.  It's insane.  I feel like I understand the Gospel, but I still don't have any idea how to communicate that to others.  We do a lot of role play activities, and it amazes me how easy it is for me to step into the shoes of a person that I have half made up and half based on a real person.  But the point is, I get into their head in ways that I don't even get into mine. 

I am not going to lie.  I cried a lot during the first night.  But I haven't really been to upset since.  It is amazing how strong the Spirit is here and how much it takes care of me.  I hope that others can feel that too. 

I don't really know what else to say.  All the details are blurry because time moves so fast.  If you wouldn't mind though, please send me your physical mailing address.  I want to send you letters. 

Love, Sister Worthen.
