| Joyful Sister Melia Joy Mason enters the MTC on June 5, 2013 |
June 7, 2013
Dear Mom and Dad,
The MTC has been such a great experience! Thank you so much for all the love and
support you have given me as I have been preparing for my mission! I love you guys so much and hope you guys
aren’t having too much fun without me already!
(Ha, ha)
I love my companion, Sister Snow, already. It has only been a little over 48 hours and I
already appreciate her so much. She is
so friendly, kind, spiritual and hilarious.
We really get along well and I genuinely enjoy being around her. We laugh about how a lot of times during
meals we just ignore our whole zone that we eat with, and just talk to each
other. She is seriously so great and we
have both learned a lot from each other.
BTW – She is from Holladay, Utah and is 23 years old.
In my zone we have 11 sisters and 8 elders. Sister Snow and I estimated that the MTC
looks like 50/50 elders to sisters. On
our first day here, we were told that over 900 missionaries entered the MTC
that day. That is a record high so far.
The MTC has seriously been a wonderful experience! My teachers are great, the hours and hours of
personal study and companion study have gone by pretty quick, and I feel like I
am learning so much. The one thing I
have had to get used to is all the companion prayers. We pray before and after everything we do and
so Sister Snow and I easily forget to do that.
Today we dominated though! I don’t
think we forgot a single prayer!
The MTC has definitely been a spiritual high. The spirit is so strong here and you
seriously can’t help but know every second of the day of the truthfulness that
is being taught. I know that my time at
the MTC is going to fly by, so I am trying to soak it in as much as
possible. It has been overwhelming at
times to try to understand and apply all that we are being taught in such a
small amount of time. Overall, I am
loving it even though it is exhausting!
I love you guys so much!
<3 Sister Mason
