Stewart, Madison

Hey everybody!  I didn't think my pday was so soon! My apologies for the double email this week.  I arrived at the MTC on Wednesday and it was a quick transition from saying goodbye to my family, to going straight to work. I've been blessed to have so many awesome friends here at the same time as me. Seriously so fun to see so many familiar faces.  I've had many ups and downs the past 2 days but keeping faith that things will get easier. I'm really looking forward to getting to Seattle, meeting the people there along with seeing the green trees!!!! My district has been really fun and they've made my experience a lot better.  Not much more to add but I hope everyone has an awesome week!! Enjoy these pictures from the past couple days

HIII!!!!  I survived 9 days of at home MTC!! BLESS UP! According to my calculations… I spent about 42 hours on zoom since the 17th, which means I am REALLY excited to see my district and teachers in person!! I’m currently in a packing disaster so wish me luck as I pack for the next 18 months. I’ll be at the Provo MTC tomorrow until August 11th!!  My biggest take away from this week is that I want to be a missionary who truly loves FIRST! I know I’m going to meet so many people who have a different perspective or different beliefs than I do but I really feel that no matter who I meet or what their circumstances are, they are SO loved. Jesus taught by feeding the hungry, healing the sick and was never ashamed to be around the sinners. I’ve got a lot to work on as a missionary and just in general but I hope that we can all be a little less judgmental and a little more understanding to those around us this week :)  Anyways tryna to keep my email short and sweet...
