Baker, Madeleine

1 month as a missionary whaaaat??!  Crazy how fast time is flying by!  To start off, I'm serving in the Utah Layton Mission until my visa comes!!   I had my last few days at the MTC earlier this week and they were incredible but bittersweet.   Goodbyes are hard, but forever grateful for the experiences I had there and the spirit I felt.  My teachers Sister Pope and Brother Soderberg are incredible and I learned so so much from them.  They prepared me so incredibly well for the field and I'm so so grateful for them!!  My district was the absolute best as you all know because I can never stop talking about them:) already counting down the days till we can have a district reunion.  And so so excited for when SISTER TREESE AND I ARE REUNITED IN ZIMBABWE!!  Hopefully sooner rather than later haha! Week one in the field is complete!!  My trainer Sister Gray is amazing and I'm so blessed to have her.  My first area is West Point and w...

Madeleine found out a couple  days after she arrived at the MTC that she would be reassigned. They reassigned her to the Montreal Quebec mission. Before we left to drive Madeleine to the MTC we realized her Canadian passport was about to expire. And so we brought it back to Canada to send in to be renewed. Because she did not have a Canadian passport they reassigned her again to the Layton Utah mission to serve until her visa for Zimbabwe comes through.

Hey everyone!!   Last P-Day was crazy busy so I didn't have time to send an email.  Sorry if this one is a little long:)   I love the MTC!!  It is literally incredible, there is such a special spirit here and it's going to be hard to leave next week.  After my parents dropped me off on Wednesday I got to my dorm and got to meet my cute comp Sister Treese in person!!  She is my favourite person ever and I am stoked to serve in Zimbabwe with her!  We're already best friends. We then got to meet our district and teachers in person ahhhh!!  They are some of the most Christ-like people I know and We have all become best friends.  I've learned so much from them and they are all incredible missionaries all ready.  The rest of our week was filled with Studies, classes, and devotionals.  I am learning so much everyday and am loving every minute here.   A little bullet point list of last week's highlights: -Sister Treese a...

We left on March 13 to drive Madeleine to Utah. That night we stopped off at Aunt Sharon’s house. On March 15 we headed up to Temple Square  with Madeleine. We also eat lunch with her cousins in Provo. On March  16 we went to breakfast at kneaders and then drop Madeleine off at the  MTC.
