I've arrived!

Holy Cow! I'm in England!!!!!

I did indeed arrive saftely. There is actually a timer
in the corner of the computer and I only have 27 minutes left, but there is
line of missionaries, so I'll typr like the wind. Well, the other 2
people on my flight to Phoenix were the 2 pilots, so I had the place to myself
and it was awesome! I met up with Elder Church from Phoenix and we flew
together to Atlanta. He's a cool guy who looks similar to Kyle Patterson.
Ha ha! In Atlanta there were about 20 other missionaries, almostall
of them from Utah. There were 6 of us girls of the flight and they're all
really nice. The boys are all just goofy pre-missionaries. Some are
confident and cocky and most are pretty much 19 year old boys. Ha
ha! But they are funny. Then the flight to England was soooo
looooong! Yeah, I don't care much for flying. I'm glad I don't have
to do that for another 18 months. I was in the middle on that flight so I
never got to look out the window. :( But everything went absolutely
smoothly untill I went to get my luggage. Yep, it stayed in
Georgia. I owe Katelyn a huge thanks for telling me to pack an extra set
of clothes in my carry-on because I won't get my bags till tomorrow. I'm
ok with that except for the fact that I smell really bad and look really gross
right now, but they are taking our pictures and we have interviews with the MTC
president and his wife. All the girls are dying for showers, but I'm not
sure if I'll be able to do that without a towel. We'll se. Ha ha!

My preperation days will be on Tuesday and they've been
taking pictures of us that will be posted to an online album with Picasa next
week so you guys can see how nappy we all look after 12 hours of flying
(: So let me know when they send you the info for that site so I can let
them know.

We got here to the MTC at about 11:30 and it's a pretty nice
day. It's not as cold as I thought and it isn't raining. It is
overcast and looks smoggy, but I think that is just the clouds. It was
crazy to ride the bus to Preston and be going down the left side of the
road. I know we were driving through a city because I could see tall
buildings, but there are so many trees that it doesn't seem like it. I never
did have to go to the bathroom on the airplane, so it still doesn't seem real.
Ha ha! It might not seem real until I'm on the plane home! Ha ha!
But I'm excited to get settled in and get into the scheduale
tomorrow. We'll get assigned companions tonight, but I think there are 4
girls in my room. I was the only girl on the plane going to
Birmingham. Most of the missionaries are going to London South and a few
to London. It's going to be great though! The grounds here are beautiful
and it's so green! Just like you guys said (:

Love you guys! I'll write again on Tuesday (:

Love,

Smelly Sister LeFevre

Comm. 150 Journal

Gee whiz, it has been several years since I personally posted anything on this blog.  I don't even know if anyone evens looks at it, but hey, that's okay. I am starting my 8th semester of university and I am taking a class where I have to keep a daily journal.  I just have to write about something that happened to me that day. I've started it on a Word document, but I had the thought that I could keep on here and share unique experiences that happen in my crazy life. So here are the ones I have done for this week so far: Comm 150 journal: Day 1: Monday, 15 Sept. 2014 When I was in my first area on my mission, Newcastle Emlyn in Wales, I had this funny zone leader named Elder Hopkinson. He was from Leeds and had a great accent. Every time he called he would always ask what the craziest thing was that had happened to us that day.  I remember feeling dumb if I didn’t have a wild story to tell him, but from then on I tried to make every day of my mission be a...

When it Rains it Pours

Day 4: Thursday, 18 September 2014 Today was my first day going to my Digital Imaging class, taught by Sis. Caryn Esplin.  I am so excited for this class. The homework is just going to be fun stuff!  I took a class last winter from Sister Esplin and she is amazing! She is my career role model. I want to be just like her some day!  When I took her class in the winter, I received several awards from her because she liked my work so well.  Today, I again impressed her as I was able to recite back every person’s name back after we all introduced ourselves. There were only about 27 kids in the class so it was easy. I just have a good memory. So I won the Bright Idea award (a light bulb jar filled with M&Ms).  Anyways, about an hour after class, Sister Esplin called me and asked me if I would like to be her TA for one of her classes! She thought I did really well in the winter and thought I would make an excellent TA.  This is the 9 th job of...

I headed to school this morning at 7:45am. I wasn't sure what the temperature was, but I realized it was in the negatives when I could feel my boogers freezing in my nose. I know it sounds gross, but you literally can feel your nose hairs become stiff as the moisture in your nose begins to freeze. It's quite the sensation. So I have my hood up to keep my ears and face warmer and there is a slight breeze, which makes it even colder! I had only been walking about 3 minutes when I noticed that the ends of my hair to my left was looking really white. As I looked closer, I realized that frost was collecting on my hair! I'm not quite sure why this happened. I had straightened my hair today, so it more dry than wet. The only thing I can think of, is that the moisture from my breath must have been collecting on the ends of my hair closest to my face. By the time I got to class I probably looked like a rendition of the White Witch with my frosted white hair. Oh the joys of Re...
