Waddup Waddup Waddup! ~ Sister Morgan in McAllen

Family and Friends!

Welcome to the second mass email from the one, the only...ME! This was my very first full week while here at the MTC and oh boy did it feel long! I mean overall I cannot believe a full week has gone by but during the week it seems like P-day never gets any closer...but now we are here and having a grand old time! Also you all know how everybody loves Friday because that means the weekend and a break from any responsibility right? Ha nope, not here! I have seem to lost the concept of knowing what free time even is. There is always something to study or prepare for 24/7! Also Sundays...you know the day where you go to church and then take a nap...absolutely not! Sundays are the LONGEST day of my entire life!!!! But enough complaining...now onto the good stuff...(disclaimer not entirely sure how exciting any of this will be for all you out in the real world)

So in my district there are 14 missionaries, 10 elders and 4 sisters. I know, quite the ratio. So because us hermanas are only slightly outnumbered the elders have quite the amount of inside jokes. And their most quoted phrase BY FAR is "Hey Elder remember when...ah nevermind we will talk about it later!" or "Don't worry sisters, you don't want to know!"....but don't worry everyone *high sarcastic voice* I am not bothered by it all *shrugs shoulders repeatedly*... I mean by this point it has just become a huge joke so it's all good! Plus the Elders seem like they always have so much more fun than us Sisters...They have so many weird pass down traditions that would be wayyyy to complicated to explain on here but just know I slightly envy the fun they are having. So if anyone has any fun crazy rambunctious ideas send them my way!

Here is a funny "trying to learning Spanish" story for all of you. So our whole district was in the computer lab doing some boring "Technology Assisted Language Learning" and not staying very focused but instead just joking around...You know like teenagers do....and one of the Elders jokingly called me a liar for some reason and then tried saying it in Spanish; however he yelled "Menstruosa" when he was really trying to say "Mentirioso". Now, to save you all the trouble of having to google translate that what the Elder actually yelled at me was "Menstrating" which is DEFINITELY NOT liar...But hey we are all learning here! And in his defense he was pretty close. Haha

Next thing I want to write about it how my favorite part of any day in from 6-9pm. That is when we have scheduled "class" but it is really the time in which companionships take turns teaching an investigator and the rest of us "study" but in reality all of us are just goofing off and making jokes at each other just becoming good ole pals! Plus at that time in the day we are all so burnt out from everything we have already done and just want to take a quick little break and not have to think about learning spanish or teaching a lesson or anything else!

BIG NEWS!!!!!!!! So originally everyone in my district was not an iPad mission so non of us have them while here in the MTC obviously. However, my comps mission was changed a few days before she entered the MTC and she found out it was an iPad mission this monday soooo since she gets an iPad that means we all get iPads!!!! Not sure when I will get it but hopefully by the end of this upcoming week. HOORAYYYYYY!!!! That means I can check my email whenever I want to but I still can't respond until Saturday! But chances are I will check it multiple times a day and every evening before I go to bed for those who coincidently want to be at the same place as me at the same time while I am here in the MTC....*shifty eyes*

Now for the stuff people actually care about and trust me I won't judge if you skipped straight here because I totally did that before....hehe but it's PICTURE TIME!!!!!!!!!!

Me and Elder Dotson "working at a call center". This was when we were supposed to be studying....

My prison cell

What I wish missionary attire could be: sweats, t-shirts, and nice comfy lose skirt to add some class

My favorite mural in the new buildings! It is of the Red Sea parting and it offer great encouragement to all us missionaries that we can do the impossible with the Lord's help:)
