I love missionaries.

HELLO!!!

IT'S P DAY. HECK YES.

First of all. THANK YOU so so much for all the letters, dear elders, and packages. Seriously it's like Christmas. I don't even know how to say thank you enough(and as for all the treats... ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME FAT!?) hahah but really thank you. Those swig cookies mom! SO GOOD. I don't even want to share them with the sisters in my room. I ate one last night..... aaaaaaand I ate one for breakfast this morning. and I still have two more. and yes I am going to eat them for lunch and then for dinner. teasin. I eat weeds here at the MTC. My district makes fun of me because all I eat here are the salads, wraps, and fruit. and oatmeal in the mornings. And If I feel like I worked extra hard that day, I will eat Ice Cream. Because ice cream is so good. 

I have been so so so excited for P day!! Because I feel like so much has happened!!!

Well I leave on freaking Tuesday morning. I have to wake up at 3:00 am... I think our flight leaves at 7:45.. I guess it will take awhile to get there and get everything right..? BUT OMG NEW YORK sista dunfun is coming!!! I am so pumped for New York. (haha watch me get there and cry my eyes out because i'm a girl) ha no.. I am so excited.

Well what a week!!!! I cannot even begin to explain how much I have learned here at the MTC. Like I always thought I was a pretty smart person.. and then I got here. and then I got paired up with Sister Wharton. and then I realized that I am not so smart. HAHA. 

Sister Wharton is like Sister BRAINS. She knows so much about everything. Its been good because I can ask her lots of questions. Im sure she probably thinks I'm some dumb blonde from Draper UT with a whole bunch of clothes and that I am so lame because I only wash my hair once a week. Whatever tho right?? My hair is my hair and I will wash it when I want. 

So I have made quite a few new friends here!! Its awesome being surrounded by so many people that are feeling the spirit and doing exactly what I am doing.

I love missionaries.

Me and my companion have been teaching this girl named Kenzie and she is so funny. She doesnt believe in God at all. So that is the tricky part. But Me and Sis Wharton know exactly how to get her to feel the spirit. I know that she feels the spirit during our lessons. The hard part for her is realizing that what she is feeling is the spirit. I think a lot of people have that problem. Its listening to that still small voice and then knowing that that was the still small voice. That probably made no sense.. but in my head it makes sense. haha anyways we teach her over skype. I love skype. its cool

I am becoming pro at ROLE PLAY. just so everyone knows.

Its so funny because there are so many people here that come up to me and theyre like "wait is that your natural hair color??" HA im like nope. and then they go on to say well how do you expect to keep up on it while youre here? I'm like, plz, I can do ma own hurr. So get ova it. haha! teasin I'm not that sassy.

Another funny thing. My companion is SO protective of me. Every time one of the Elders starts to talk to me, (TALK.. NOT EVEN FLIRT)  She is like EXCUSE ME that is my companion and you arent allowed to flirt here. I always feel pretty awkward because she is being dead serious when she says that. I laugh so hard inside. She is a great companion tho. keepin everyone in line. She does karate and sings ALL the time. Like during gym time she does all these ninja tricks. cool stuff. I will for sure know how to protect myself in NY.

Anywaaaays. I must go!! But before I do, I want everyone to know.. that I know that this church is true!!!! And I am so confident when I say that. I have never ever ever been so confident that it is true. but it is. The spirit has testified that to me. and I have learned SO much. Im so grateful that my savior did what he did for me and for all of us. Jesus Christ is THE ONLY WAY that we can have eternal life. And I am so grateful that he atoned for ALL of our sins. My testimony is growing out of control!! its like my testimony on steroids here. #missionaryprobz  

but yes. church is true. LOVE YOU ALL

Love,

Sister Dunford
