Hey Family,
I've loved receiving your letters through DearElder! I've only received 1 hard copy, but I've been able to read some of the "receipts" on my email. To answer some of your questions, I know that first letter sounded super happy- I wasn't, I was crying... but the Sister standing behind me told me "not to mention anything negative" Hahaha :) It's been tough, I won't lie. I have yet to make it a full day without crying, but it hasn't been all bad. The withdrawal from caffeine... Not bad. The food... Not bad... I'm really doing my best to have a positive view of the MTC, Even if it does feel like a prison. I'm grateful that I'm here in the summertime, our district likes to take walks in the evening, sometimes we just stand at the front gate, looking at the mountains. It's really nice after being stuck in a classroom for 8 hours. Speaking of my District, I LOVE THEM. I love them! They're the closest thing I have to a family here, and we all take care of each other. We've gotten so close already, I feel like I've known them forever.
We're all from super different backgrounds, and would not have become friends under any other circumstance, but being stuck in a "jail cell" of a class room all day has really brought us "misfits" together, and we now really enjoy each other's company.
We've called ourselves The Breakfast Club ;)
We spend all our time together, I've never spent this amount of time with a group of people in my life. I'm so grateful for them, they've helped me so much!
Oh, and our teacher has a prosthetic leg.
Anyway. . . Like I said the MTC is rough, missing you all is rough... I cried my eyes out for like 3 hours after seeing primary children sing. I wish I could call you. I can call you on June 15th while I'm in the airport though! That makes it a little better, right? :) I'm growing a lot already and I've found a love for teaching the gospel. I'm trying my best to be obedient, and I know that through Christ I can do all things. Please keep emailing and writing, I know it"s hard because it feels like you're talking to a brick wall, but I love it! And Mom- I love the quotes, the last one was from Mulan ;) Thank you so much for everything.
Your Daughter,
Sister Hansen
