February 9
Hi! So before I forget I need to tell you what I need. I know you think we can leave but we can't. The MTC is like a prison, once you come in you don't come out unless you are transported to the airport. I need some sort of shoulder bag. They do not sell them at the MTC anymore, therefore I have to awkwardly carry everything I own. So if you could send me one that would be amazing. Please also send me my Patriarchal Blessing. I'm pretty sure I need something else but I don't remember what it is.
In other news, I will be leaving the MTC on February 16th. That is just an estimate, but I'm guessing it's pretty accurate. What else?... I was going to send you a few pictures but they won't be ready for a few days so I'll send them later.
How is everything? Home? Church? Ward? Grandma? Anything and everything in detail please.
I forgot to tell you about my other 3 roommates. They are the coolest ever. Sister Mann, Siter McAdmas and Sister Garcia. They are going to Poland, which is the coolest language ever. I'm learning some words, such as bitch, yes you read correctly. It means "to be" in Polish. They all had to yell it in their first day of class. Anyway, I love them.
So that's basically my life. I don't eat much food because it's gross, so I've been living off of cracked wheat, salad and...oh wait, just cracked wheat and salad. We go to the gym 4ish times a week so tell Dad I've been doing my push-ups and sit-ups.
I know I have 80 million other things to tell you but I have personal study and laundry to do.
I'm happy to be here. This is where I should be. I love you all.

Week Two (February 10th)
Hi everyone!
To start off I want to thank all of you for the letters this week. Thank you! They make my day. If you haven't received a letter back from me yet it is coming. Promise. Second, I want to thank Mom for the best package ever. My roommates thank you as well. I have never seen someone so happy to eat a chocolate strawberry. And third, I would like to give a giant shout out to Jacque and Taylor. Although I completely don't approve of you getting married without me I am thrilled for the both of you. Love you.
Finally, I would like to let you all know that I will be leaving the MTC February 16th where I will be heading to Missouri. In other words, that's less than a week! (I'm still trying to figure out where the past 2 weeks have gone) To Mom and Julie, as much as I would like to break the rules and see you at the airport I am going to have to refrain myself and keep you home. I don't want to have to tear myself from you again. Therefore, all I can do is tell you I am leaving the 16th and will be in Missouri later that day. However, I am going to do everything I can to call home before our plane leaves (stay close to the phone between 7am and 12pm). Don't be mad at me. I know it makes zero sense but I love you too much to see you. Its going to be easier this way. The Elders have promised to take care of me.
As much as I have doubts and anxiety of being ready to enter into the real world again, I feel like its time. Its not going to be easy but I've accepted that. I'm ready to be freaked out and afraid. I'm ready to bring happiness into someones life. I'm ready to be Sister Hall, a representative of Jesus Christ.
I love you all. Thank you for all your prayers and support. I would not be here without you. I hope everyone is doing well. Stay safe.
All my love.
Sister Hall
