Hola, mi familia!

Has it been two weeks already?! Weird! Time at the MTC is a crazy thing. The days go by so slowly, but time passes so quickly. I don't know how I feel about it. The MTC is getting better with each day. I am studying really hard! Harder than I ever have in my life! Way harder than school or college or anything else. The crazy thing is that there's no test. There's nothing I "have" to study for. I'm studying hard because I'm on the Lord's errand and time. And if I was to not study my hardest, I'd be wasting His time. NOT ON MY WATCH! 

I'm doing everything I can to learn this language. Remember how many times I said, "Spanish is easy!" Well, I was wrong. Speaking any language other than your own is so hard. I have so many things I want to communicate, but can't. But the Lord is blessing me so greatly! I can pretty much pick the words I know to communicate any of my thoughts, just not in the eloquent way I would in English. It's going great; I just need to have more patience (the trial of my life).

My companions are still good. I love my district. We all get along so well! My district leader walked in after a meeting the other day and said, "I just have to say, I love you all so much! Every other district was talking about all their problems and when they asked for any problems we might have, I told them we had none! They couldn't believe it  and kept asking, 'Are you absolutely sure?' and I just had to keep saying, 'Yes! We all get along and have no problems!'" So, yeah. Our district is awesome. I love the district leader, Elder Yoo. He is a convert of about 2 years but he is literally brilliant and has such a strong testimony. Plus, he plays the piano like a madman, so we jam out and it is THE BEST THING EVERRRR.

I don't know what else to say! Life is great! The MTC is great! Last night Stephen B. Allen spoke at devo and he was awesome and inspiring.

OH MY GOSH. I just remembered something BIG. My life changed last night by watching Elder Bednar's talk "Character of Christ." Seriously. Life-changing. Family and all others who read this email, get ahold of this talk. Google it, look it up. It is amazing. I have so much to work on. I have so much to change.

I love the Savior. I know the Atonement is real. I know that He loves and blesses us each day. I love you all so much! I miss those sweet little babies, but keep sending pictures!!!

Con mucho mucho amor,

Hermana Snyder
