We received our first letter! We also received an email with a list of things "to send" that she forgot lol. Hard to believe with all the stuff she took she forgot anything! Moriah didn't take any pictures with her and reeeaallly wanted pictures, so her sister (Leah) and I got some family & friends pictures together and put them in a little photo album for her. :) I sent the box of forgotten things last Friday so hopefully today she will get it.

(Just a side note: the MTC receives 4,000 letters daily and 500 packages! wow)

Moriah is working hard! She said she thought college was tough, the MTC is challenging she says.

She has two companions, one is from Idaho and the other one is from Oregon. All three of them will be headed to St. George together. She says she enjoys being with her companions and they are currently teaching 4 different people. Moriah also reports that the "Elders" in her district are really awesome and even though they "are really young" lol, they are so willing to learn and build their knowledge. Their testimonies are so strong!

Currently her "P" day is on Wednesday.

PS ~ If you write a letter to Moriah, please include your return address. She has received several letters with no return address. She would like write return letters as time permits. I sent her a little address book so she can keep it all organized. :)
