May 29, 2024  Sziasztok!  This past week was very good! I have seen the Lords hand in my life everyday since I have been here! It is weird to think that I have been here for a month! I entered into the MTC 4 weeks ago! It feels like a whole lifetime ago! I really have enjoyed my time here so much! Everyday is so fun! My district is really close and we have so much fun when we are all together!  Something that we have been doing lately is "Recess". For exercise we go across the street from the MTC and play spikeball! I think I have gotten kinda good at it! Its fun playing against everyone! We always end our time outside by rolling down the hill! Its so fun seeing everyone submit and roll down it! Today at Recess I accidently got a volleyball stuck in a tree. I took my shoe and threw it at the ball thinking that it would get it out BUT MY SHOE GOT STUCK IN THE TREE ON A TREE BRANCH! We got it out but I was lowkey worried for a second!! Some friends I made at college and EFY...

Sometimes I feel like I'm fighting to stay awake LOL! There is probably more of that we do, but I'm kinda drawing a blank.  Today we went to the Payson Temple for the last time and it was a good experience! We did sealings! When we were walking out this strange man stopped us and said some weird stuff to us LOL!  This week an elder stopped me and asked how he knew me, turns out HE KNOWS ALL MY FRIENDS FROM BYUI!  Grady, Benji, Eston, Taylor, Jenni I met Max! H...

Hi everyone! This is my second week being here at the MTC! I LOVE it here! A lot of my friends that I have made are leaving this week so that's kinda sad :( . Everyday is kinda the same and when I write in my journal at the end of the day it sometimes is hard to remember what happened earlier that day. ALSO, I have not missed a day of writing in my journal! I want to get into the habit so that I can remember everything on my mission! TODAY IS P-DAY! This morning we got to go to the Payson Temple to do an Endowment Session! It was very good! I also organized all my clothes and shoes! I hope you are proud of me for that mom!!! This week, my sweet friend Grady sent me cookies! THANK YOU GRADY!! YOU'RE THE BEST! (see the 1st picture) The other day we had recess (outside time at the activity fields) and me and almost all of my district rolled down the big hill! THE WEATHER HERE IS WEIRD! It was literally snowing last week and this week it was so hot! It is like Missouri which ...

Szia!!!! I've finally completed my first week of the in-person MTC! I love it here! Lots of funny things have happened this week, but sometimes it's hard to remember what went on last week! There's so many things that we do everyday! The days feel like they go by so quickly, which I am not mad about, lol!  Today, my district and I got the opportunity to go to the Payson Temple! We got on a shuttle provided by the MTC, rode down to Payson, did baptisms and initiatories, then made our way back to Provo. On the way back, I was falling asleep and I could feel my head falling forward. I was lowkey so tired.  This past week for our exercise time, we went to the gym and played basketball, volleyball, spikeball, etc. I got a group of elders and sisters together and we played knockout! As many of you know, I am a pro knockout player! I won like THREE times and it felt so good! Elder Vitali is from Italy and he says that everyone in America is so good at basketball! He also told me t...

  Hey everyone!  I got to Utah yesterday and spent all day with my sister Katie! Saying bye to my Mom, Dad, and Scarlett was really sad. I met a nice man in the airport who talked with me and stayed with me until I boarded the flight. Last night I called my mom crying and she gave me really good advice and helped calm me down. She is the best person I know and I love her!  I lowkey cried a lot yesterday but all is well now.  Today I entered into the MTC (missionary training center)! This morning I spent time with my sister Katie and her family! We went to Brick Oven for lunch and then I said goodbye to everyone and it was really sad. We took pictures and then I was off into the MTC! I met my district in person finally and everyone is so fun! I feel a little overwhelmed and like I'm going to cry but I'm trying to stay composed!!  I'm intimidated by Hungarian and I know it's going to be hard. I CAN DO IT THOUGH! I'm going to learn the language and will be fluent!...
