I'm in a trio...yup 2 comps and It's awesome! We each are a strength to each other! Sorella Hoareou is from France and knows so much Italian so it's ze best:) She helps me so much with pronounciation and memorizing...and Sorella Weeks is from Idaho, and knows our mission president so that's pretty cool. :) It's just us 3 in a small room...and surprisingly all being girls...it stays pretty clean..lol except yes I do have the biggest suitcases...I just couldn't fit all my crap in 2 small ones, so my comps give me a hard time about it. 
Sorella Hoareau sleep talks in French and It is probably the funniest thing I've ever heard! She never remembers doing it which makes it even better, but It seriously is the nightly routine, and always makes me laugh..which reminds me, my sense of humor is shot. Everything is so funny even when it isn't and I think it's because we are all so tired and just fighting to stay awake. So we laugh at pretty much anything.
also Sorella Hoareau is our personal trainer, and leads us in workouts every exercise time. I now know how to count to 20 in french! 
I love my district, and it's just my trio and 3 Anziani companionships. We are so close, and they really have become my little familia away from home. Anziano baker's mom sent a HUGE package of candy so we were pretty pumped! As a district we went to the temple just barely, and it was so peaceful and amazing. I love the temple so much! Also as a district, we help each other set goals with the language, and it's so helpful when you know you have to be accountable to all of them, so you really make sure to study, and it encourages you a lot more. Sorella weeks got sick like the third day, so no fun, but we are praying she gets better soon. Just making sure I am taking all my vitamins and trying to stay healthy. :) Also I don't know why I think it's so funny, but Anytime I say Anziano...every elder looks, and we always laugh...I'm tellin you guys, things that just shouldn't be funny are.
Sunday was so so good. We got to go on a temple walk, and we got to go watch characters of Christ later that night which was a talk given by Elder Bednar a couple years back on christmas day at the MTC. Even though serving a mission is hard...probably the hardest thing I've done in my life up to this point, listening to his talk reminded me that It's not about us, it's all about Christ. We have to serve with all our heart, might, mind, and strength, stay obedient, and he will make up the rest. It was such a great talk, and really helped me feel god's love for all of us so strongly. Also, tuesday's are so good cause we get to sing in the choir for devotional, and also have an awesome speaker talk to us! Elder Bednar came, and his talk was amazing (as usual). He talked about how we can better study general conference, and make more use of our personal study. We sang in the Choir, "Precious Savior, dear redeemer" and the spirit was so so strong! I love the spirit of music, especially in a choir full of hundreds of missioinaries...powerful stuff! They broadcasted it to all the MTC'S in the world, so maybe I was on TV...Idk, but it was awesome. :)
Random MTC facts:
-Beds feel like cardboard, but they are the most comfy things now after long days, sleeping is all you look forward to.
-I need more sleep
-I've learned more Italian in 1 week, than spanish in 2 years...my brain is going to explode but it's good! I love learning:)
-The language is hard, but then I meet a missionary going to Japan, and remind myself how lucky I am that I don't have to learn an Asian language....YIKES!!
-I love my Teacher Sorella Bucco...She has the best stories and encourages us everyday to be better.
-I feel like I'm back In high school....lots of kids here from lone peak. 
-Brother Egget, the choir director was my institute teacher, so it was fun talking to him.
-And lastly, I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY! It's the hardest thing i've ever done, but the most humbling, and spiritual experience I've ever had too. I love this gospel. It is seriously the way to true happiness.
I love you all, and thank you for all the dear elders, and emails. It means the world<3
Have such a great week everyone!!
Love, Sorella Rindlisbacher
The part "I need more sleep" made me laugh. If you know Nick, you know she's all about sleeping in & taking long naps err day. Haha
"Headed to the mtc"
Nick repacked her bags probably 10 times. That morning she was repacking again trying to get rid of stuff and then when we were leaving and going to put her bags in the car she opened them up again to take even more stuff out haha!

A little bit of the email she sent to us sisters!
Hi sisters, i don't have tons of time, but I sent home a letter today in the mail, and it should come soon with some letters in it for each of you, so make sure mom and dad give them to you. Wow it has been a week FULL of many emotions. I didn't know a mission would be so hard...it seriously has been the most humbling, hard thing i've ever had to do. I miss you both a lot, and arthur, mads, and bray, but it is the best opening up my email and seeing pictures and updates. :) I love it!! I am going to send my main email later, but I just wanted to email you two and tell you both thank you so much for all the love and support...(dear elders) seriously are helping me get through the hard days. I love it here, but it's hard and a very big adjustment, but I know I can do it:) I've only cried myself to sleep twice...haha I'm sure there will be many more times, but It will be okay! God's on my side, and with him anything is possible. Love you sissys, and hope you have a great week! Love sorella rindlisbacher
