1-How are you holding up physically?  Health been ok? I have been good! Just the usual sometimes stuffy nose (which goes and comes) and the usual girggles- I have been using some of the stuff Nana got for me Overall super healthy! 2-  How are you holding up mentally?  I’m sure there are moments of frustration, but overall how are you? Pretty good! The first week was hard but now things are great! sometimes I do get frustrated but that is normal! 3-  Who have you “clicked” with the most in your district?  So the girls in my district are overall pretty quiet, but are all super sweet. I click well with the girls going to costa rica and also I have been putting in more effort to talk to the other girls in my zone that I dont see a lot I LOVE Hermana Schauers (Rosie knows her and her friend is in your ward right now) and I LOVE Hermana Clark and all the other girls too! They are all more talkative and outgoing and I am too so I thrive off of t...

HOLA MIS AMIGOS!! Half way done at the MTC! Crazy how time flies!! This week I have probably cried at least once a day due to the spirit being so strong!! This past week here at the Provo MTC we had a New Mission President Training, so ALL 12 APOSTALES WERE HERE. What??? I know right!!!!! I causally walked past Elder Renlund and his wife and another time walked past Elder Uchtdorf's wife. NO BIG DEAL. BUT IT WAS. THE SUNDAY DEVOTIONAL: ALL 12 Apostales were sitting on the stage and there was a live broadcast to all the MTC's!! SO COOL. Elder Cook spoke and it was AWESOME. Super simple and direct on how we can  better missionaries. At the end we were all standing and waiting for the mission presidents to leave and they all turned back and were waving at us- so cute. Then the postlude music was called to serve and all of the sudden all the missionaries starting singing along as we were leaving. SO POWERFUL.  Also another incredible experience We had one ...

HEY FAMILIA So I am in the process of emailing everyone back right now, so Ill send out more stuff later But for now... 1-  How is the Spanish coming?  Is it super hard? The spanish is slowly coming! I don't mean to sound arrogant or anything, but people in my district tell me I'm the best one in the class...not so sure about that hahaha, I'm just like only one of the few that consistantly participate in class and can put sentences together pretty fast. I dont know I just think its a combination of me working hard and el don de lenguas! (gift of tongues!) But I can sort of have a conversation with people! I slowly incorporate spanish words into my everday vocabulary! 2-  How is your district?  If you have time tell me about them!  Where are they from? Did Amy go to BYU?  Who do you get along best with/who is trickiest? My district is awesome! Most of them are from Utah, one from WA, one from Arizona, and one from Idaho! We have a...

Questions from Mom week #1

Below are the questions Mom asked and Kelsey's answers.  This will happen most weeks, a good way to communicate! 1.  Is there such a thing as too many letters or packages in the MTC?  I can try to slow down (and will do so naturally some!)  No I LOVE getting letters and packages!! I get so excited when I get mail- so send away! I gives me motivation and brigthens my day!! 2.  Is there anything you need?   Uh i'm not sure yet.. I ll let you know 3.  What kinds of things would you like to get in a package?  I know you were not excited about candy, I have a little more candy to send your way because it’s cute but I’ll slow down!  I’ll try to think of other things to send! I loved the rolls lol- uh  Im not sure haha if I think of anything Ill let you know- 4.  How do you get along with Hermana Jennings? She is awesome!

Hola mi Familia!!! It is finally P-day!! OH MY GOODNESS THE MTC IS AWESOME. The best way to describe it would be this. Picture me, standing holding a bucket and the MTC sprays me with a giant firehose. I basically just get knocked over by all the water. But seriously it is crazy over here. Also we have been looking forward to this day for A WHOLE WEEK. So me and my roommates call it Christmas!! I'm not really sure how to structure this email because I literally have so much to say!! So here we go! Also I'm sorry if it is really long The first day was crazy. I had my first mini miracle! I was on the plane to Utah ( kinda bored, with not much to do) so I pulled out my mission packet. I opened it to a random page and I read something about shoes ( I cannot remember what it was!) and then I started thinking about my shoes and that is when I realized that I forgot to pack my tennis shoes!! Luckily Nana and the fam took my shopping to buy some new ones (that is what me and mom...
