Letter #2 9-25-14

Hello everyone! Today is my P-day and I'm so excited because I get to talk to all of you! I miss everyone and hope that you all are doing well! Being a zone leader is pretty fun! I have lots of friends here at the MTC and I already have memories that will never be forgotten! I've loved being the investigator in role play. My district tells me I'm really good at it. It's the closest to acting I can get here so I enjoy that. I've learned a lot from everyone. We got to hear from M. Russell Ballard on Tuesday! He gave some great insight on how to be successful on your mission and what to do when you're homesick. The Elders like to sing Taylor Swift while we all shower in the morning. It's pretty funny. I have grown so close to the people in my district, so I don't want to leave them on Monday. Which by the way is my departure date. I will get to call my parents at 4:30 AM on Monday, so stay awake Mom and Dad! I want to talk to you! I left the cheese dip out that my parents sent and it got old and gross. Two nights ago, Elder Hasson dared me to put a sucker in it and eat the cheese off of the sucker. It might've been the most disgusting taste ever. I almost puked, but it was really funny. My companion was on the ground laughing. I really think everyone looks up to me here. Sister Taylor (a Sister in my district) and I have a ton in common and she is very kind to me. I appreciate her. I love the other three Elders in my room. We have so much fun, and we laugh a lot. Yesterday, as zone leaders, we welcomed the new missionaries in our zone. They seemed to have liked us after we offered them the banana bread and cookies that Kara sent. Almost every single one said "Tell your friend Kara she's amazing at making banana bread and cookies." I like it here and am excited to go to Texas. I think about everyone every day though, and you are all my motivation out here. I got sick the other day, but I'm starting to feel better. We actually have committed an investigator in the MTC to hopefully being baptized. That's really exciting. We don't know if he's actually a member or not, because some aren't. They have recent baptisms because of investigators in the MTC. Elder Marshall doesn't know a lot of things so we started a lesson plan for him for things he doesn't know about. It's hilarious what he doesn't know.

I'm excited to hear back from everyone. I love the emails and support. It helps me get through. I miss you all! Send this out to everyone I didn't get! I'm not sure if I have everyone's email and such.
