100 sit ups, 20 push-ups
Well, the way I'm starting my entries while I'm on my mission is to list five things I am grateful for during that day and then any physical activity that I did. Oh, journal! How blessed I feel to be here at the Missionary Training Center! I AM A SISTER MISSIONARY!! There are no ifs ands or buts about it! And by the wonderful Spirit I feel, I know that being here is RIGHT.
I got a feel for the language; I got settled into my dorm room; and I served others. This was a very important factor in making this first day right -- I helped others with their luggage and I built my muscles in my arms but also in my friendship skills.
I'm very excited to have Sister Jennifer Smyth as my companion. She is from Idaho and simply splendid. We are going to get along great -- I KNOW it! Oh how I feel my Heavenly Father's love through the love of others!
I know things aren't all hunky dorey all the time as a missionary, but I know it's worth it. May my testimony of Christ and Joseph Smith grow continually particularly with the wonderful nourishment of the MTC!

This is such a great idea. My journals are written in English, but I still have wanted to type them up. A few years ago I started, but didn't get very far. I'm glad you invited me to read them, this will be very interesting to see through your eyes the shared time that we had - we shared that exact time in the same mission, but how different of experience each of us had I'm sure.
