First week in the MTC!

HI MY BEST FRIENDS!!!

Ok first of all, carl if you thought i was boring after coming home from college then you are gonna HATE post-mission Annie lololol. I am already so much less clever and funny. But who cares!! Cause I'm so much less anxious and stressed out!!!


Ok seriously you guys the MTC is the best. its the BEST! it's exactly like the dorms except that i sleep more and procrastinate less at the MTC. also theres a little bit of time-i-spend-watching-netflix  discrepancy between the two haha. but the soap is the same as the byu soap im pretty sure and all the buildings look the same and it is just like being back in good ol stover.

Ok, first day was seriously awesome. the good thing about it is that the second you guys got back in the car they just get you GOIN. like it is packed! but it was great cause it helped me stay busy and not feel sorry for myself at all. i had the sweetest host sister and actually everyone i met was just sweet and nice and tried hard to lift me up. ok then i met my comp! her name is Sister Watson (lol yes as in John Watson and Sherlock) and she is from Canada and she is really sweet and i love to serve her and help her not feel so nervous because the BIGGEST MIRACLE OF THE CENTURY is that i am defs the less anxious one in the companionship!! like probably the least anxious in the whole district!! seriously you guys who have i become?? ok yeah but shes uber sweet and really easy to please and i love being her comp. i think its really good for both of us and really helpful for both of us. my district is just a hot mess of little 18 year olds. (elders, amirite ruthie???) haha no i really love each of them a lot and they are total total TOTAL sweeties. just sweeties who need to be reminded to work sometimes ;)

class is so great. its long, but i love it because for the first time in my life i feel like i am completely and totally in tune with the spirit so i am just learning SO much. like for example sister watson and i on our second day were asked to give the relief society lesson. so they just gave us the topic of doing the Lord's will and said take it away! so i just prayed about it and within minutes i had SO many good ideas and scriptures that i wanted to use and it was just awesome.

OK ENOUGH BORING STUFF.

here are some funny (ish??) things:

i fell asleep in the temple this morning (no surprise there, im still somewhat myself amiritie fam?) and i had a dream that i checked my facebook and then i woke up and i was SO mad at mysel cause i was like SISTER DAINES WHAT ARE YOU DOING QUIT BREAKING THE RULES. but crisis averted cause it was just a wee dream. i also had a dream that cammie called me but at least in my dream i was like "swerve. cant answer that shniz". so im learning right? :)

i cant think of anything else thats funny. #whoops.

oh!!! except's mom white hot book of rage!! mom seriously i was smiling SO big when i read that! its hilarious and adorable and actually oddly inspiring!!!!!!!!! i loved it mom! seriously the best gift i have ever gotten. thank you lady!!!!

oh and there is this elder in my district who is from severe county, utah, and is literally the biggest farm boy/ for lack of a better word hick/ he is so funny and talks with SUCH a low voice and he kind of reminds me of uncle Rico / mom you would love him he would crack you up. hes going to california and the only time i ever hear him talk about emotions is when he says how terrible california is. LOLZ.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxo,

Sister Daines


just gonna leave you with some things i tell myself when there are a plethora of different colored hairs on my sheets/ my roomates remind me to not whistle disney songs :) :) :)
(which seriously the germ/ hair thing does not even bother me at all anymore! clarey belle a mission is gonna be so good for you haha. but yeah basically nothing bothers me anymore!! but if i ever feel the tiniest bit sad:

- He whom the Lord calls, He qualifies (aka you can do this sister Daines because God wants you to be here and is not gonna leave you high and dry)
-God did not give us the spirit of fear, but of faith
-if ye are prepared, ye shall not fear
-fear is NOT from God
(those ones mean dont be freaked out or anxious because those feelings are not coming from Heavenly Father!! if i am feeling anxious i just work and prepare and do a little more planning and studying and i feel so much better!!)

ok im seriously done now. sorry for all the long boring stuff! im just so happy and want to tell all my homeiezzz out there!! next week i will write down funnier stuff so i can send it to you guys i promise!
