So I am here and I am pretty confused about a lot of stuff haha. Yesterday's trip was a little crazy. We got off the plane at LA and they took us quickly to the next plane so we didn't have any time to eat...so thanks Mom for the Hi-Chews...they pretty much saved me! I wasn't able to sleep at all on the plane but your letters made the flight better so thank you! We got off the plane and went through sooooo many customs---if Sister and Pres. Gonzalez were not there I don't know where I would be! We were greeted by the old President and his wife...it was nice to hear a clear American accent in the midst of all the Spanish I had been hearing. Then they drove us to the MTC---the streets and the surroundings remind me of a lot of Mexico. It was about 3AM when I got to sleep...because I was trying to find my way around in the dark and trying not to wake up the other sisters haha.
This morning I woke up at about 7AM to the other Spanish sisters chattering away...I was planning on sleeping in a little longer but before they left they came over to my bed and said "Sister Bennett...Levantanse"----haha apparently I am Sister Bennett now. :) All of the other sisters in my room went to the Temple early in the morning so I got up pretty confused. I didn't know where to go or what to do. So....I just walk around trying to find someone to talk to. Finally, I ran into a cafeteria worker and he got me some food---but I didn't have much of an appetite. Someone came and led me to the women who I was supposed to meet and she was surprised I was up already haha. But, since then, she has been showing me around and getting me situated. It kinda feels like I have been running around with my head cut off....and I am still trying to find the other half of me right now---But I am sure I will find it eventually!
The grounds and the buildings here are very beautiful! I don't have any pictures yet because I just got in this morning but I bet I will get some to you next week! I can tell this is going to be a hard week for me. But I am sure this is how every other sister feels when coming here for the first time. I know Heavenly Father will help me!
There is not much else to say considering I have only been here for a few hours!
But, I miss you already...which isn't a good sign...but I love you all so much and I can feel your strength and prayers----I really really need your prayers right now.
Thank you for all you have done for me!
I love you all!
Love, Jess
