Erekson, Emma

Hey y'all!! I'm here in Tennessee absolutely loving life! I don't think I'll ever come home, I love it here. Everyone has an accent and is super friendly (most of the time). God knew exactly where to send me on my mission because Tennessee is absolutely perfect!  Getting to Tennessee was stressful and I'm never taking three separate trains and buses to get to the airport ever again. And it all happened before the sun was up so that was fun. Me and Sister Maxwell really loved waking up at 3 am haha. The plane ride is very boring when you can't watch anything, but all the missionaries were playing the games together. I bet it was funny to see all of us playing Texas Hold 'Em on the screens. We traveled with a group of 16 I think and everyone was so fun to be around. It made travel so much fun. When we landed in Knoxville, I felt like I could finally breathe haha. So much easier to breathe here than in Utah. AND EVERYTHING IS SO GREEN AND THERE ARE SO MANY TREE...

HOWDY!! Time has flown by and my time here at the MTC is coming to an end. Which is actually so crazy because it feels like I just got here. Me and Sister Maxwell are so grateful (maybe) that we have been given the earliest check out time for the MTC, we get to be on a bus by 3:45 in the morning! I am sure the Lord has something He wants me to learn from being up that early.  This week was very fun. I absolutely love my district. We all got to go to the temple this week and it was the best! This district has become so close over the last three weeks and I am so sad to leave them! We had to say bye to Elders Soliai and Knight last night because they headed off to Hawaii this morning. And we say bye to the rest of the district tonight, which will be pretty sad. But they are all going to be such great missionaries and I am excited to see all the good that they will do in their missions. One of the blessings I have had while being at the MTC has been being able to see all of my homies ...
