Mom! :)
Thank you so much for everything! WOW! You are just the best! :) Hopefully this email will be better organized because I have a little more time and I have been writing things down this week so that I can remember to share them with you! :) Alright! So here it goes!
Saturday: After emailing we were able to go to the temple, AWESOME! :) i loved feeling the spirit there! We are going there again today... can't wait!
Sunday: Sundays here are the best because they are a day that you really don't have to rush... they really are restful! We were able to have a temple walk which was great and what some of the pictures are from! We just go and walk around the temple! :)  For relief Society the General Primary President came and talked to us! It was a great SIMPLE talk! My kind of learning! :) haha The BYU men's choir came that night for a devotional... it was alright... haha :)
Monday: Was right back to learning! :) Jammed packed of trying to role play and getting comfortable with teaching other people! It is fun!
Tuesday: Same thing.. haha only we were able to have a devotional by David F. Evan... AMAZING! He is of the 70's... it was super cool to be in his presence! I know he is going to be a 12 one day.. haha you can just feel it!
Wednesday and Thursday: Same thing just different day! LEARN LEARN LEARN! :) CLASS CLASS CLASS! But I still love it! :)
Friday: We had an in-field training all day... kind of just telling us what to expect and everything! It was really good! It is making me more excited/nervous to get out there!

We made history!

April 20, 2013
 
Hellllo Mom! :)
YES! It is P-Day! That means I get to email you! :) I am so excited! Well I hope you got my letter! I sent it the first night and sorry it was so sloppy... :/ I was kind of in a hurry! As we always are here! Which is good! We do not waste time! Well I love it here! :) The MTC is sooo amazing and so spiritual! You just feel it all around you! You really do sit in a class room alllllllll day but it is so different than school! I am actually interested in what I am learning. I want to learn more all the time! it is amazing! :) Well know that I am sending you a letter later today with more detail and stuff but I wanted to send you some pictures and show you things! :) Some of the pictures are of my comp and I.... Sister Maclay! There is one of my little bed... (yes i miss my bed...) There is a picutre of my district around the map! :) My district is awesome! There is so many sisters! On Wednesday when we arrived there were more sisters here then elders for the first time ever!!! We made history! It is great that there is this much excitement! All the girls in my district are my room mates as well which is so fun! We are always together and I feel like we are more of a comp of 6 rather then 2 haha it is fun! :) The other picture is of all of us with suckers! I had to go get my tetnus shot... :( so I got suckers and brought them back for everyone to study! It made the shot worth it ;)  Well... I don't really know what else to say other then if you could... could you send me the things of my blessing...? I want to know what it said about my comp... because it was right! :) I'll explain more in the letter. I will be back on later today... I don't know when though... but they allow us an hour so my comp and i decided to split the time up... so hopefully this makes your saturday because it has made mine! I love you so much! I miss you guys... but I know this is where I am supposed to be! The church is true... and that is that!!!
Love you,
Sister Dahl
P.S. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE LETTER! :)
