Dear Mom and Dad,
I am so happy that I am able to write to you so soon, today is my P-Day and we're allowed to use the computer for 30mins. I miss you all so very much but I can surely feel the spirit comforting me and bringing peace to my heart that all is well with our family and I am bless to be here at MTC to prepare to do the Lord's work. Its only been the third day but I feel like I have grown so much spiritually. It is amazing how organize and how strong the spirit everywhere here at MTC. Every minute we have something to do, starting when I got out of the Shuttle. My flight to Provo went well and I was the first Sister Missionary that arrived in MTC. It is great because there is a temple just right accross MTC and today at 1pm we going to a temple session. First day was alot of adjustment to do. I was place to the Tagalog learning class at first but after the teachers and the district leader talked to me in tagalog they've decided that I am well advance in my language and they transfer me to the advance class. I am so greatful to be in the class that im in now, the elders and sister's that I am with has such strong testimony of the gospel every class we have i felt the spirit so strongly and we have two wonderful teachers. One of my teacher serve in Mongolia and the other in Korea, they are amazing and very upbeat in teaching us about missionary work. My companion is from Samoa her name is Sister Savalinga and the other sister's that is our district is Sister Chan from China and Sister Karakosyan from Russia. I love my companion and the sister's that our with us. The district that I am with is the international district, all except me and another elder is from US. It's pretty amazing, this is the only time I have ever felt I speak pretty good English. I am mostly speaking English because this the common language we all share in our district. I am studying the preach my gospel and the book of mormon in tagalog, there are a lot of big words that I havent use but I am learning them.. My time is almost done I have so much more to tell, i'll continue on my letter. I have a new address since i was transfered eveything is the same except for MTC MAILBOX # 301 PHI-ILOL 0824...
I love you mom and dad so much and I am gratefull for all your teachings and example. PLease say my love to everyone... i hope to hear from everyone soon.

Tears came to my eyes just as I opened the page and saw her beautiful face and started rolling as I read her first letter from the MTC. What an amazing woman. I just remember her first day at church and her first months in YW and have seen how she has grown and learned so much so quickly Heavenly Father truly must have much work for her to do. I can't wait to hear about her experiences.
