MTC - week 1

     Hey, hey, hey everyone! To explain the joke, Sister Hunt and I were laughing about something and she started to say something and it sounded like Fat Albert!  It was a good time.
     Well, the MTC is super amazing and fun. The spirit here is so amazing, we have had a ton of great experiences in the meetings.  My companion is Sister Whiting and she is the best ever.  She's so fun and she's from Australia!! (BTW, popcicles are officially "paddle-pops").  Also, the sisters in my District are so awesome, we're basically real sisters at this point. We've become so close in the few days we've been here.
     To start introductions, Sister Whiting is my glorious Australian, vegimite loving, super spiritual companion. I love her to death, she is hilarious.  On our first night here her alarm clock went off at 2 a.m.!  It was funny because we all started getting ready!
     Sister Timothy is from Utah, and the poor thing has had a cold since she got here which made her snore sooo... loud ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!   Sister Salvesen got up in the middle of the night to shake her mattress to make her stop snoring!  She is super sweet and funny, and so down to earth, I love her to death.
     Sister Salvesen is from South Africa! She's super funny, she plays soccer, and she has the best laugh ever. Especially, when her and I were watching Sister Whiting's face go blue from laughing so hard, no lie!
     Sister Hunt is from Utah and she plays the violin. She is so wonderful, we laugh about everything. Really!!!  But, she is so sweet and strong, she is awesome.  The elders in our district are hilarious as well.  From "flirt to convert" to "I know a guy".  We have some pretty good jokes  as a District. There's 1 companionship going to Winnipeg also, and there's more but not in our district.  As Elder Steele magnificently put it, we are the "frozen chosen". Unfortunately I haven't met any other sisters going with us to Winnipeg. Also, Sister Whiting and I taught someone!  Her name was Dina. It was actually our teacher pretending to be someone she taught once. Anyways, much to do and too much to say now, but I will leave you with spiritual quote for the week. "You receive no witness until after the trial of your faith" by David A. Bednar.  We watched a great devotional he gave once. Also, 2 last things, no pictures this week I can't figure out how to get them off my camera. And finally, I'm in the MTC choir!!

Hope you all have a great week!
Love Sister Talbot

On my way!




I arrived at the MTC in Provo Utah on December 19,2018, so I should be in Canada shortly after the first of the new year. That is a great way to start out the new year.

I love to see the Temple!

....I'm going there someday!
 My special day happened on November 27,2018!
