MTC...still

Dear Family,

So basically, I'm really great! Having fun living life, ya know. Last wednesday was super fun. We got to host. Meaning we greeted the new missionaries and showed them all around. It was cool. I felt pretty good about my self because I knew everything about the MTC, but then I felt really lame because I've been here for 2 months. ya. We get to host again next wednesday too. I'm pretty excited. Those poor missionaries. It is so overwhelming the first day, they need a beautiful smiling face to help them forget about their fears. And I think I am just the missionary for the job. Also last wednesday Brother Erickson came back from his cruise which instituted some stability into my life. He is an ordinance worker at the Provo Temple as well and so this morning when we went to the temple we totally saw him. It was great. Oh and then wednesday night, May 5th, all the sisters in the Korean zone ( so like 9 people) had a Cinco de Mayo party! Thank you so much for the package BTW. Totally could not have had a cinco de mayo party without it. I laughed so hard when I got it. I explained to my companions about how it was kind of a joke because obviously we're not mexican, and in fact we get quite annoyed on cinco de mayo when all the mexicans drive all over town with their flags out, displaying their lack of respect to the country in which they now live and take advantage of. I don't think they really understood why it was funny. But I did. Thanks family for sending a little California love to the MTC. The best was trying to explain cinco de mayo to the Korean sisters.
I love the Korean sisters! They are so awesome! The other day at gym they taught me and my companion some Korean games. I pretty much was on the floor laughing. They are crazy!
Oh! Today at the temple we did Korean names again! Ahju Jehmi (super fun)!. I am already having opportunities to serve the Korean people.
So, story time. Last wednesday (man lots of things happened on wednesday) I was walking from breakfast in the cafeteria to my classroom when who do I see walking towards me with a cute little MTC Staff vest? None other than my dear sweet recently returned from a mission to Italy cousin, Aubry Bjarnason. We embranced, we laughed, we cried ( ok so maybe we didn't cry). It was great. She is so cool. Yay for seeing people you knowin the MTC. It makes the day memorable, you know... not that very day at the MTC isn't memorable. Imean come on its the MTC!
So last week or the week before maybe, I wrote my wonderful mom a letter asking her to send me some different black shoes because the ones I had just weren't working out. I asked her to get me the same shoes as my companion becuase they looked comfy. I told her the name and the brand and tried my best to describe them and then of course I drew a lovely picture of what they looked liked. And do you know what happened? My awesome, beautiful, amazing mother sent me the exact right shoes! it is a miracle I know. Things like that didn't even happen when I was home. Plus it is super awesome now becuase my companion and I totally have matching shoes! How cool is that. We celebrated the other day by matching our outfits as well. We looked unstoppable.
You what is unstoppable? The spirit. It always gets what it wants. I know this church is true. I know the Book of Mormon is true. I love you. Thanks for your letters and support.... keep it coming : )

Love
Sister Kincheloe
