(This was the letter sent the day she entered the MTC)
FAMILIA!
I have almost zero time but know that I LOVE you and you shouldn't be too sad because I'm not. Chin up, buttercups! Today was great! My companion, Hermana Christensen is from Lehi and is ADORABLE! We were not too busy today so I thought, but I am definitely mentally drained! I've learned a few things of Spanish...mostly just trying to switch my mindset.
Missionary work is great! I was almost discouraged when we got back to the halls--the day was so overwhelming. Then I opened up and talked and chatted and forced myself to be happy. (I also sang the song, "Smile" by Natalie Cole and that helped. Then guess what--I became happy! The moment you feel yourself slipping, DON'T!
Choose to be happy and force yourself, if needs be. There are too many things to be happy about. Momma, no worries, I'll sent another letter tomorrow, our sister mission trainer people told us we can respond to family letters on any day. All email on P-Day.
MUCHAS AMORE!
Love, Love, Love,
Hermana Harkness
