Sister Stevenson and I

March 25, 2013 - MTC bound! It felt a little bit strange to drive to the MTC, park my car, and enter by myself, but it was an amazing experience once I stepped inside the door.  Our MTC group had 72 missionaries, four of us being sister missionaries.  My MTC companion was a sweet little 80 year old from Duluth, Minn., Sister Eula Stevenson.

From the first moments of the MTC to the last hour, 11 days later, it was a spiritual high. We always hear about the spirit at the MTC, but descriptions don't do it justice. I think my favorite moments were at the two devotionals when 3,000 missionaries sang "Called to Serve". I was able to come home on week-ends, then headed to Fresno (via a stop-over in St George to see dear friends) on Sunday April 7, 2013, arriving in Fresno on Monday evening, April 8th.  Here I was greeted by my new companion, Sister Ure; our landlady, Britta and the ward empty nesters FHE group who met at Britta's that night.
