just a couple excerpts from Bonnie's letters:

January 28th (the day she entered the MTC)
"IT'S SO COLD!! I'm so glad I'm going someplace warm. I don't think I could make it in the snow. We were made an amazing promise today. That is we work hars, we will be able to teach on our language in 5 months. Oh, Thai is one of the hardest languages to learn and THE HARDEST to write. I am excited to work hard & see the promise fulfilled. The campus is HUGE!! Sister Josephson and I are still completely confused."

February 3rd

"My life here at the MTC is wonderful!! All it feels like I'm doind is eating and studying :) I walked out of class the other day to go to a meeting & started to head to the cafeteria :) Wow, it's already a habit after a few days !! Today is my prep day, but it it full of essentials...right now I am writing this letter as I sit in a rolling laundry basket waiting for my laundry to finish :) The spirit is so stron here, even in the laundry room just seeing how many young men and women chose to take time from their lives to serve the Lord. I am happy/sad to say I have not been home sick, for I know this will be a short time and I'll be with you all soon. Being on a mission really brought me to know how our Heavenly Father must feel like when we leave. The best time of day is when the mail arrives- it feels to good when you get a letter. It makes me want to pray more to my Heavenly Father because I know what it feels like to get word from someone you love. I love you all. Have faith, study, pray, serve, and all will work out for your good and we will see miracles."

Flour ball fight!!

Thank you to all who came to the party and brought the food, and ate the food, and joined the fun, and made for one great night!!

So here's to better luck with the blog!! We realized as a family that not one of us knew her username or password... so, now we finally have access to update her blog :)

there are 3 ways to contact Bonnie while in the MTC and they are listed along the sidebar...
