Kelsea's First Email!

Dearest Family who I love so very much!

I was so excited to here about the Smith's in Arizona's Friends' baptism. And all of your efforts in missionary work, remeber people are like 10x more likely to join the church when a member invites them first, missionaries are name tags members are friends, and what would you rather have?
You guys are so awesome! today was my first P-day. So sorry for the lack of letters, you should be getting some soon! Things are so busy here there is always something happening and everyone here is just so determined to be the best missionary they can be and you can constantly feel the spirit! Its so amazing to think that we are going to have General authorities here in the next three weeks making some big changes here in the MTC!!! We don't know what they are but we have been informed that they are going to be big, prehaps even bigger than indoor plumbing. My teacher of the German Language and all other things pertaining to the gospel is names Brüder Mower, and he is from South Jordan Utah, he went to Switzerland on his mission.
 We have been teaching an "investigator" named Wolfgang Erlitz. It is the most interesting experience I have ever been through, to be forced to speak German that I didn't even know that I knew and trying to teach the gospel in the language of the spirit while also trying to not totally offend our investigator with our broken German. My companion is Sister Stuart, she is from Kaysville UTah. She loves to run and has run a few Marathons. She is so great, she is really sweet and totally humble she didn't know any German before coming here and now she already has Our Purpose (Unser Ziel) memorized auf Deutsch, and it has only been 5 days! It is amazing what the Lord can do with a few willing souls. I have seen Tanner plenty of times and Stephanie I see her everywhere, also Sister Jessica Howard. And  a lot of people from Brother Greiner's class. There are only 4 people in our district. We have Elder Lloyd(UT), Elder Carpenter (ID) and Sister Stuart (UT) and myself (CA). Everyone here is from Utah we Californians have got to step up our attendance we need some more people to represent!! We have some sisters here from Finnland in our zone and some Elders and Sisters from Scotland and they have got some great accents I just want to listen to them talk all the time. I share a room with 6 other girls and I am the only one who is not from Utah. I think that there is one other girl who is from northern California and she is companions with one of the Finnish sisters. Everyone else is from Utah or Idaho.
I will try and get you a picture of our district soon! I love you all! keep up the good work! <3

Love,
Sister Knecht
