My life here is kind of like going to spiritual school. I wake up in the morning at 6am and work out for 30 min, while the gym is open only for sisters. Then I get ready, eat breakfast and head to class. Everyday I do 1 hr personal study, 1 hr with my companions and 1 hr language study when I can study whatever I choose. Then the rest of the day is filled with class time where either of my teachers come and teach us Spanish and gospel doctrines, gym for an hour where I usually end up running or playing knockout with the elders as my options are kind of limited, then each day we have a devotional or big group meeting of some kind. At night, we plan out our next day and then head back to our resident hall to go to bed. Oh I forgot to mention the most exciting parts of the day, lunch and dinner! I have started watching what I am eating this week because I think I have gained a little weight already, we don't get much exercises here and we are provided a lot of food. The food is actually pretty good but it is kind of frustrating to not get very many fresh vegetables and fruits. Also, it can be pretty repetitive - not a lot of choices. So all in all that is my day.
It is pretty cool because they have several different ways for us to teach teachers and volunteers each week so we can even better prepare for the field. Once a week we teach volunteers who are often native Spanish speakers - unfortunately last week we ran out of volunteers so we just taught another companionship in our district again - but I am sure it will be really cool when I get to teach outsiders.
For the most part I am loving it here.
In the MTC in Provo, Kara had two companions. Here is a picture of the three of them left to right. Hermana Dalton, Hermana Porter and Hermana Bloomfield (Kara)
