HELLO EVERYBODY!!

WOW. I made it through my first two days!!! I cannot believe I have only been here for two days. It feels like its been a week already. It has been a great two days. 

First of all... My companion! So her name is Sister Wharton. She is very nice!! We are two COMPLETELY different people. But, we balance each other out and it works out great!! At first I was a little nervous about us being united as a companion because we are so different, but we actually are doing WAY good with preparing lessons and campanion study and all that fun stuff. Sister Wharton is from Michigan. She lives in a small small town. She is diabetic, which is cool because sometimes we get to leave class so she can go eat something or take care of some blood stuff. So that works in my favor. Yay for diabetes!! She talks a lot but it can be good sometimes. I am just learning to laugh with her and have fun. It's very interesting being with someone ALL the time that you have never met. But, it's SO good for me. She pushes me to be better. She is very spiritual which is good because i'm spiritual.. but I am more on the fun end of things :) So yes we balance well. Companions are cool! Heavenly Father purposely put me with her I know it :)

So my first day was pretty freakin long. I got dropped off.. then they sent me to go get all these books and papers and my NAMETAG. haha! One second it wasn't there then the next second I look down and there it was on my left shoulder! It's magnetic so that's fun. This computer that I am typing on is stupid and it is dumb and I can't fix mistakes that I type. haha or maybe I am just dumb. So I'm sorry if you read this and your like oh wow she doesn't know how to type.. 

Well so yeah I dont even remember all that we did on the first day. I love my district that I am in. Most of the people in my district are going to Ogden UT. SAY WHAAA... UT. COOL. I forgot to say that that is where my companion Sister Wharton is going. Me and two other sisters in my district are going to NYNY North. THEY ARE SO FUN AND SO CUTE I LOVE THEM. We are all in a room together. 4 of us. I try my very very hardest to make sure that Sister Wharton feels included. Just because she is the only one in our room not going to NY. :(

My first night was great. Except I didnt fall asleep till 1:00 am.... I blame that on the week before I came I went to bed WAY too late and slept in way too long.. shoulda been going to sleep at 10:30 all along :) But my bed is fine. Just a good old mattress you know? 

The food.... it's ok. HAHA. I just eat salads and wraps. The salads are actually way good. I think that I have lost weight here.... NOT ON PURPOSE EITHER. But we are going up and down and up and down stairs and walking all around. I love climbing all the stairs.

So My first few days have been good ones. I CAN FEEL THE SPIRIT LIKE NEVER BEFORE. It's so so so crazy. Like awesome. I feel like I am leaving out TONS of details but I am running out of time. I gotta go do my laundry.. YIKES.  We'll see how that goes. Hopefully my companion is good at laundry because I am not. 

CHOOSE THE RIGHT YOU GUYS. Annd dont forget to talk to our Heavenly Father. He loves when we tell him everything. I can feel him listening to my prayers here. He cares about me so much. And everyone. He loves us all!!

I was reading some random scriptures and this one stood out to me!! Thought I'd share it with you guys. Alma 26:27.

The book of mormon is awesome.

The church is SO true.

Love you guys SO much. I hope you are all doing well. I am doing so so good I miss you all and cant wait to hear back. love you guys!!!

Love,

Sister Dunford

Ps- me and Sista Wharton teach our first investigator today so wish us luck!!!
