Dear Dad,

Thank you for all the packages. The cinnamon rolls were delicious. I was shocked to get the 2nd package. All my roommates were excited when I pulled out the Martinelli’s. We are going to use it in our celebration tomorrow night [her last night in the MTC]. All the sisters in my room have been receiving candy and we have to use the rest of the money on our cards to buy things in the vending machines. (MTC card that holds $8.oo to use on washers/dryers, vending machines and small purchases) It’s going to be really sad to leave these sisters; already we’ve made close bonds to each other.

I’m sitting in the gymnasium, converted to auditorium for conference. I wish I could have gone to conference since it is so close but it would be hard to bus 3500 missionaries there so here I am.
            My experience here at the MTC has been incredible, overwhelming and fun. At first I thought it was going to be like EFY, but it was so much more than that. I was able to expand my knowledge. My weakness was my focus and memory; hopefully I can continue to improve on these in the weeks to come by the Spirit and Jesus Christ. As it says in Ether 12:27, “I will make your weaknesses strengths.”

Dad, thank you for your example. I don’t know if you realize how much you’ve taught me. I know I’ll be okay in Mississippi. I know it’ll be hard but I can do it.

We went to the Provo Temple on Tuesday. It was interesting having curving walkways right on the edge of the temple. When I walked into the Celestial Room, I lost my breath it was so beautiful, the chandelier is so big. I love going to the Temple, especially when I think that the Primary song I Love to See the Temple doesn’t apply to me the same way as it used to. I’m not “going there someday,” I’ve gone and I will go again.

                                                            I love you Dad,
                                                                        Sister Stewart
