Sister Sloan LOVES the MTC!!

I'm a week late in posting Sister Sloan's first letter from the MTC. Here's a piece of it:

"So, guess what? I LOVE the MTC!!! It is AWESOME!! The spirit is super strong here. My companion, Sister Bowden, is from England. She is 26 and pretty cool. I feel bad for her, though, because I keep asking her to say 'Harry Potter' and I'm always trying to speak in an English accent. I wake up every morning at 5:30 to work out at 6:00am with some other sisters. It's pretty intense and I get a little tired during the day, but then, I also feel really hyper and happy. it is so weird. My district is awesome. They each have such good insights to the gospel and different scriptures and they are all really funny. I have been learning alot from my teachers and from teaching lessons. It's fun, but, also difficult to teach and try to answer investigator's questions, but I am improving slowly. I saw Sister Pool and she is in my Branch, which is fun. All of the sisters in the branch are very nice. Oh, I also saw Elder Udani and I have a pic with him and a Sister from Switzerland who is a good friend of Elder Muller's. She found me after an early morning 'sister' workout. She is going to temple square as well, but I don't see much of her, though. So, one of the Sisters in my room, Sister Whaley, taught me how to do a hand stand in the doorway. It's so much fun! So, now I'm trying to have a competition with another sister, Sister Watson on who can do a handstand the longest. She is winning so far with 1 minute 30 seconds. I am only at .45 seconds. You'll be happy to know that I'm eating lots of salads and fruits and vegetables. I started off always having chocolate milk with my meals but it started making me sick, so I'm not doing that anymore. Today, it was kind of weird to see all of the new Elders and Sisters coming in. I can't believe I have been here for a week already. The phrase, 'days are long, weeks are short' is so true. I am SO happy to be here. I went to the Temple today. It was soo different from ours. I love our temple, but, anyways, I was so excited to go. I loved it. Love you all. Sister Sloan
