Apa khabar kualarga,
Well this is kind of weird because I just learned that I could email you a quick email tonight to tell you I'm at the MTC safe and sound, but I already wrote you a letter with everything I wanted to share...so as you know, I'm on the MTC West campus at Wyview Park. That's where our residences are but our classrooms are in the apartment complex next to Wyview, called Raintree. The new cafeteria just opened on Thursday, and according to the missionaries who have been here for six weeks, it's way better than the Raintree cafeteria. I'm also a Solo Sister, which means I have two companions, but they are Indonesian speaking. I'm the ONLY sister in my district. There are 8 elders and me who are Malay speaking in my district, and 8 other elders who are also Malay speaking in another district. We're all going to Singapore. Because I don't have a true companion, I am allowed to pair up with a companionship of elders in my district during class and during meals, as well as during devotionals, sacrament meeting, and a couple other things. I typically eat with my district because they're my homeboys. It's kind of nice because if I get sick of my sister companions (I don't because they're awesome), I can just switch to elders. And if I get sick of THAT companionship, I can switch to another companionship haha. Sometimes I think Heavenly Father thinks I'm a boy.
Anyway, I love the MTC so far. The missionaries here are so bright and eager to learn. And they're so young! I'm the oldest missionary in my zone. The church is in good hands. I love how all of our gospel-centered lessons focus on our investigators and their needs, and how their specific circumstances affect how we teach them. Everything we teach needs to center on Jesus Christ. I've learned so much more Malay than any other language, and it's only been three days. It sounds more Arabic than Asian. I know how to bear my testimony and pray, and I taught my first lesson in Malay already! Anyway, I need to go since I was only given about ten minutes, but I will write a more elaborate email on Thursday, which is my P-day. I love you so much! I said this in my letter already, but I'm too exhausted to miss you and my friends. I do miss you, but I know this is exactly where I need to be right now. Saya tahu bawaha gereja ini benar!
Love,
Sister Wynn
