Hello Family, It's Just your friendly neighborhood Sister Sorensen here. (I am still trying to figure out how to send pictures) no one I have met really knows how, So hopefully I figure that out by the end of the day. So of course today is my Pday. FRIDAY. I feel like I am back in highschool where you just can't wait for Friday. I know it has only been three days, but it slightly feels like 3 months. The second day was so long, The food.. is not "gross" like some people say. It's just not good. It's lunchroom food.. what you would expect. So you would expect me not to eat it. I have not really had much to eat at all. I did however today, find peach rings in the bookstore. And I'm thrilled. Because other than my banana and glass of water I have for every meal, the peach rings are great. PLEASE send me skinny pop. and chicken cup of noodles. They have them in the bookstore. But I am poor and don't want to buy them. The beds are not as bad as everyone says. But that could be because I am crazy tired at night. very happy I brought my own blanket. Because the ones here are slightly.. scratchy and uncomfortable. Also Let Lincoln and Oakley know I have snuggled that stuffed dog every night. I named it LO (like as in the first letter of Link and Oaks name) I know.. cute. My first day wasn't all that bad. It is however, A lot. very fast. One sister described it as a fire hose and she is not wrong. We had a huge group "meeting" with an 'investigator". And be proud of me, I got up and spoke. My Companion didn't show up until the end of the day, So I was in a trio for most of the day. My district is way cool. We are already starting to get along, and everyone is very productive. We have time along to teach ourselves and we are actually doing it. Elder Danes and Elder Whitehead and I get along very well humor wise. They are companions and have been best friends from about the second they met. The two other sisters in my district are way fun too. We get along very well. Sister Page and I are probably the most a like. My Companion and I, Sister Stevenson, are very different. But I am finding more and more things that we have in common. We were just talking about our favorite artists and time periods of art and I found out with both share the same obsession with Van Gogh. Being with someone else all the time is not easy. not for me at least. Espically if I want to just run somewhere and get something. You have to have someone with you at all times. I see Sister Craig all the time I will just yell SISTER CRAIG in the lunchroom and she gets embarassed. But I think it is funny. I hope she is doing okay. I wish I was able to talk to her more. The second day was a little hard. It was very long. It feels like I have been here for 3 months. I was struggling with myself yesterday. Wondering If I was good enough to do this, or thinking that they didn't really need ME. because there is so many people who know more than you. Because I try to push it to the back and get to work. and address it later in my prayers. I need to learn to have patience with myself. I just got here. A sister said something the first day that I knew I needed to keep with me she said "I wanted to run, when I didn't even know how to crawl." So I'm trying to get myself okay with learning how to crawl. Its hard being away from home, I miss you all so much. I think about you a lot. I try not to think about how far I have to go, But take it day, minute, even second at a time. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH. It's a great day to save spirtual lives. ( I stole that and changed it from Mcdreamy..yes) -SISTER SORENSEN someone finally told me how to send pictures. But I have to go to the bookstore to buy an adapter. So hopefully I have time to do that before the end of the day. But we might not. So you might be having to get them next week. I know. I'm the worst. Yes, my companion is going to Orlando. My branch president's name is President Williams, and there is Brother Jackson and Brother May. Sister May is so sweet. She came in our room last night and talked to us for about an hour, telling us all her mission stories. She has been on FIVE missions. Shes super funny too, she constantly sounds like she is about to cry because she is so full of the spirit. like I always think she is going to cry.... The classes are amazing, its the most comfortable place to be. Lonnnngggg classses, but good.(I hate that I just said that) The second day we had to teach an "investigator" and my comp and I went first. Haha she went hardball on us for sure. Pause. I keep stopping this email because some elders in hall are out right yelling at everyone to get baptized The best way to stay sane is to make it fun. And to know when to make it spiritual. But being able to laugh is like a breath of fresh air. There's a LOT of spiritual jokes going around always. I realized I probably should have put this all in my group email but I ran out of time. So you can add it or not, I don't care. sleeping in a bunk-bed, is loud. Not so uncomfortable but loud. ANYWAY! also today I have been just trying to talk to everyone. because there always is something to ask. I love seeing where everyone is going. Its so cool to me that we are all here together, but within the next few weeks everyone is going to be going all around the world. I met a bunch of Elders and Sisters going to France today while I was doing laundry. And this morning I met Elders going to Ghana. Also way cool. You go where you are suppose to go. And I get more and more stoked about Orlando by the second. Oh and also forgot to add this to the group email. But my district consists of Elder Danes & Elder Whitehead Elder Merchan & Elder De Priest Elder Heywood & Elder Feltner Sister Page & Sister Christiansen And of course Sister Sorensen & Sister Stevenson Elder Heywood is my District Leader and Sister Christiansen is the Sister training leader (she feels like an older sister) probably because shes much taller than me too. I think that's it. LOVE you, talk to you soon
