Letter from the MTC

Here is Sydnie's first letter in the MTC! We have been having some communication troubles, but hopefully everything will be sorted out now. She left early this morning (6/12/13) for Nebraska! Enjoy!

Thanks so much for the package! I absolutly loved it! and I loved

everything inside the water bottle is great and you cant imagine how

much I have needed one, I was so mad I left it. but the one you got

will be great. I love the bracelet and the meaning behind it, it is so

special, and the address book was so needed I had been wondering how I

was going to get all the contact stuff since I was already here but

you took care of that without me even having to worry about it. I had

a wonderful birthday. My discrict is absolutly amazing and they were

constantly wishing me happy birthday they sang to me during class and

even wrote it on the whiteboard so that all of our teachers would also

know that it was my birthday and everyone was making jokes about it,

but it was great. I dont think anyone realized how big of a deal

birthdays are to me and my family until I opened your package and they

saw all of the stuff you sent but I loved it! You said that you didnt

read Kolby's letter but it was so great I was already crying but what

he wrote made me laugh so hard! he compared having a companion to

having a pet, that you have to keep it living and make sure to feed

and water it. all my roomates were laughing and my companion asked

what I would do if she got thirsty, how I would water her. I am going

to write him a handwritten letter back to what he wrote me and

hopefully it will be there like saturday or latest monday. oh and

guess who I ran into. sister Lexi Redd, she actually has been super

amazing I ran into her last friday and we talked for a minute.she

found where i live and came and saw me that night and we talked and

she wanted to make sure i was doing ok and brought me some snacks.

then on tuesday night she left my favorite snacks and a note for me

for my birthday, then she came by last night to wish em happy birthday

again.

I leave on Wednesday but we leave the MTC at 3 am, which sucks but

from everything I have heard I can call but it will be from the SLC

airport and that flight leaves at 6 am so let me know if you want me

to call it would be between 430 and 530 wednesday morning. I will be

able to do laundry and email againg on tuesday so just let me know.

with the whole email thing. I dont think that my email has been

deleted since its working now. when i got on today I had some emails,

and I have been able to get some dear elder letters from like Alesha

and Corinna so I dont know what is wrong with it. so the letter you

wrote in the package was the first letter I got.

well this week has been such a long week! it has been probably the

longest week ever it has been so hard but also so worth it! my

district is absolutly fantastic everyone gets along so well! its like

we are a family away from our families, every day is so structured and

even in your personal time the teachers have suggestions and things

they want you to do and to read so that has been really difficult as

well as going to bed at 1030 and waking up. we actually wake up at 6

so that we can all get ready and do the things we need to in the

morning. I am pretty sure the time rules were written by a man because

any woman would know you need more than a half hour to get ready.

other than that all the things you have heard about the MTC both good

and bad are most likely true, its been interesting in one way I just

cant wait to leave but on the other I dont want to leave this

enviornment

I do need som things from home but I think I am going to wait unitl I

get to Nebraska to make sure of what I need. but if you could have

Cici get me a bag like one that they have a the sister missionary mall

in provo that would be great. they dont have any here at the bookstore

and I am realizing that I really do need one before I go out. I can

send them money or you can give them money out of my account but if

she could do that and just drop it off here that would be great! I am

staying in the MTC campus so i will be able to get it really easily. I

would just ask Hayden to do that but we both know that would be a bad

idea. if Cici can do that it would be great! and if you can send me

their address or their email that would also be great!

Love You

Sister Sydnie Huss
