Greetings From Beautiful Chile!

Greetings from beautiful Chile! Just a quick e-mail to tell you that I am here, I am safe, and I am SO HAPPY!!! We arrived at about 8:30, were met by an MTC worker at the customs exit, and by 10:30, I was assigned my room and roommate, who will more than likely be my companion. Her name is Hermana Mittlestead, and she is delightful! 19, from Idaho, and as excited about the gospel as I am. I will go into more detail on P-day (which is yet to be announced) when I have a bit more time. But, as for now, know that I LOVE YOU ALL, I miss you all like crazy! But here I am, hours into the first day, and I am already in love with Chile, with the MTC, with being a Hermana Missionary. And get this...the temple is right on campus! You walk out the doors of the MTC and there it is. Amazing. Hopefully I can e-mail you the photos that I have taken so far. Oh, and for the record, flying overseas. Not my cup of tea. I got about 3 hours of sleep. But I have this crazy missionary energy, it is so AMAZING here! I could just devour the energy that everyone has, the spirit that we are all permeating. I know that this is where I am supposed to be, and serving the Lord is what I am meant to do. Adios!

p.s. they call me 83 pounds...because my suitcase nearly made a new record ;) DO WHAT YOU DO!!!
