Being Productive

Nov 24, 2014

Dear Dad,

I love you! I love the MTC.

Please address all written mail "Sister Kimberly Galloway." My departure DATE is Dec 1.

"Helpful Information for Parents"

1. Missionary service begins today (Nov 19). Please do not arrange or request visits with your missionary, particularly unanticipated meetings at the temple.

2. All missionary mail must come through the US mail our commercial delivery services. Hand delivered items will not be accepted. Do not send pizza, FAT FOOD, items needing refrigeration, or anything that is perishable.

3. Communicate with your missionary through a weekly letter. Telephone calls for missionaries can not be accepted.

4. Families and friends should not plan to visit departing missionaries art the airport. Farewells should be said at the home before the missionary departs for the MTC.

I had my first transfer today! It was a short one, to help us get more done.

I had a productive day. We went to the temple. I got a haircut (just a trim). Went with a sister to a Dr. appointment (which is why I only got half of my hour on the COMPUTER). They allow us two alterations for 50 cents each, so I did that, laundry, emails (I didn't get much time), letter writing, got a few things at the store, class, study, mock lesson, etc.

I got blisters on my first day. Moleskin helps a little. I got one of your Dear Elder letters in the mail a few days ago. I haven't been able to read all of my emails yet. I got permission to get on fast, tomorrow during a mealtime to print them to read later. So, I'll print my letters tomorrow. I love you. Bee strong. I know that I am doing the right thing being here. Read Moroni 7:13. I hope you are doing well. I love mail. Thank you so much for writing to me. Thank you for all your love and support. Thank you for trusting me with your missionary journal on my mission.

Did I tell you my companion, Sister Hensen, is the sister Austin and his wife told me tho look for? She is great. She is very thoughtful and loving. I love my district. I'm tired. It's late. I'll write again soon.

Love Always,

Sister Kimberly Galloway
