Family!!!!!
 Wow, this is the best feeling in the world! How is everyone! Thank you for your dear elders and sweet notes! They are the best!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the MTC! I love being a representative of Christ, and I love learning and growing! Overall, I can not think of a bad moment! I truly am one happy camper!I almost dont know where to begin?

The first day was great, long.... but so great! After balling eyes out when I was dropped off, I used what Mom has taught me best to do and put on a smile and off I went. I got my name tag and met my companion. Her name is Sister Crandall. She is so sweet and I love her! I really am blessed by the companion I have! She is from Logan, Utah. We had orientation and met our teachers (who are the best) and started class! My district (4 elders, 4 sisters) are amazing and they all bring a spirit and a perspective that helps me grow which I love!

 Our days typically have 2 sets of three hour classes, personal study for an hour, companionship study for an hour, GYM TIME (oh my do I love gym time... my poor companion probably thinks I am a weird child...because the moment I get into the gym I am like Cookie coming out of the kennel... (I GO CRAZY!) haha! I have ran 3 miles every time and played basketball the remainder of the time. I love it! I have loved all that I am learning and the things I get to do. We have taught our PI and TRCs (don't ask me what they stand for because I have no idea...but they are just like investigators)

 It is hard to tell you everything but, I would love to tell you one of my favorite spiritual experience.... Sunday! Sundays in the MTC are simply incredible! I love them! You get devotionals and firesides! It is great! One thing I loved the most though was Elder Bednar's talk (it was a video) about the Character of Christ. It was undescribable...it was so powerful and it really was SO GOOD. There was something he said that I loved "The Atonement would not have been possible, if it were not for the Character of Christ." It was so good! He then talked about how in Christs life, all the times he had something happening to him where the natural man would turn in, he turned out. Powerful. The MTC has a way of making you feel like a dirt bag but, but powerfully letting you know it is okay because of the one and single most important acts Jesus Christ did.. the Atonement. I am so thankful for that!!!! I wish I had more time! Overall though, know that I pray for each of you and that I love you! I am really happy and I know this is something my Heavenly Father needs me to do. I am grateful! I am truly blessed and loving life! In the words of Tom the Bomb... I AM LIVING THE DREAM!

 I Love you so much and will send a hand written letter today. You are all the best! Thankful for you!!!!!
 Love Sister Clegg 

P.S. Mom can you send me a USB so I can send pics? Thank you! I love you!

 P.S.S. I see Kim(Sister Barrett) everyday! Which is so fun!!! (my roommmate)

 Funny story (Dad you will really be the only one who appreciates this) haha- One night I was saying the prayer for our companionship prayer and I was praying for each elder and sister in our district and one of the elders name is Makey, but as I got done with the prayer Sister Crandall asked me if I had said Elder Mullet (s?) instead of Makey. I totally had!!! haha - I then tried to figure out where that word came from...lo and behold it was from our 4 day cleanse diet! Haha - It was the cereal...Millet-- haha I thought of you and was laughing at my classic self, that switches names and things around! :) Love you all!!!!!!!! :)
