hello err body! its been a good week, i can testify that the weeks go by slow and the days go by fast! i had to write everything down that i was going to tell you so here it it: -MTC choir was seriously the best! we sang sweet hour of prayer now its stuck in my head! -I get to host next week so all the new missionaries coming in!! -i've gained a testimony of getting rid of stress from reading the book of Mormon, its amazing -after our Tuesday devotional with elder sitati of the seventy we had a little meeting without district president and he shared this scripture which will be my mission scripture D&C 138:55-57 -I can already say that being a missionary is the hardest thing, yet the greatest thing. i would be so set on doing this the rest of my life! -we ate breakfast in the temple this morning and they have really great waffles and bacon! -next week we start lessons with real people that aren't our teachers like our "investigator" tensi who is actually sora pond HA Monday: wasn't really special Tuesday: Devotional and singing in the choir was the best thing ever! Wednesday: finally was able to say" welcome to the MTC!!" the first day sticker is very obvious to say Thursday: was rough and i was really down with not knowing the language Friday: p day, went to the temple, and eating a lot ha!! the days are hard with the language, it seems like everyone is getting before me but i know one day ill be fluent!! I GOT TO SEE MY BEST FRIEND THE FIRST DAY I WAS A MISSIONARY, IN BETWEEN AND THE DAY SHE LEFT THE MTC!! OH HAPPY SISTER MISSIONARY!!!!!

Well i'm here! i'm a missionary! Ill start off with Wednesday. My family drove off to Provo and i got chickfila (no surprise there HA) I said see yah later to my loving family and then i was off with my hostess who was super nice and helpful. The only thing that was really hard that day was to lift my 3 luggage up the stairs from the parking garage, that was the worst. but then i was lead in to on of the new buildings to get my tag and id card and the white handbook. I felt a little alone for a minute because my hostess wasn't with me and i had to find my classroom by myself, but then all of a sudden i hear "SISTER LOWTHER" behind me and i turned and there was my best friend Sister Whitney Wardle running towards me. I felt so loved at that moment. I've been looking forward to seeing here and giving her a hug as sister missionaries. Her and her companion sister VanDerwerken were so helpful and walked me to my class so i didn't feel alone anymore. My teacher met my cute (tall) companions and then we started class in Romanian. I am not retaining any language yet so i hope and i have been praying it comes soon, the flu has been going around and we cant touch anyone, but i don't care i just hug all my friends i see here. Its actually been kind of hard adjusting to missionary life, but they have a book on whats helpful and whats not helpful in adjusting so that's been better. We got our language books on Thursday and there were so heavy, that's have just about everything you can imagine in there to help learn and speak the language and to adjust to mission life. Me and my companions get to teach our first "investigator" names Tensi, shes actually from Romania, so shes pretty legit. Were basically writing down a script in Romanian, hopefully it helps. So everyday we have been getting up at 6:30 getting ready, eating breakfast and doing study time then a few classes. We have lunch and the past 2 days have been really good so I hope the can keep that up ha! Food here is good. Our zone is made up of the Italians and the 8 of us. 5 sora (Sisters) and 3 Varstnicul( var-snickt-c ul) (Elders) I love the MTC, its an adjustment, but my testimony has grown immensely since being here for 3 days. I feel more deep love for my companions and my sister training leaders ( there both learning Italian going to Milan Italy) and for the few practice investigators. I love my savior, i hope he will help me in remembering the language. Thank you so much for supporting me and i can feel that love from each of you!!! Ill email you next Friday as a pro MTC missionary!!! -- feel free to write letters ill for sure write back!
