Sister Savanna Brooks in The Golden State

This week went by so much faster than last week! I can't believe its only my second p-day. Haha time is pretty warped here and it throws me off every day. First off, I just wanted to thank everyone who took the time to write me a letter before I left. I can't even describe the gratitude I felt as I found those sweet sentiments of love and encouragement while unpacking my suitcase. I didn't even have time to read through a ll of them in my first week!! I am so grateful to have the family and friends that I do, and to be privileged enough to have personal relationships with all of you!

(Because it felt like three days). Haha so crazy. My flight to Mexico was great. I bonded very quickly with Hermana Ferrin because I accidentally fell asleep on her shoulder and stayed there for the entire 3 hour flight. Whoops. Haha then we turned out to be companions, which was cool because we were already well acquainted. 😉 But I am actually in a trio! So I get double the love!! We have so much fun together and we get along really well! Hermana Ferrin, who I sat next to on my flight, is from Farmington Utah and is literally the funniest/ coolest person I've ever met. She is a year older than me, and did 3 years at Weber State. All 3 of those years, she took Spanish.. so she is pret...

Hermana Savanna Brooks- 2nd Row, 5th from the Left My first day here, I had to drag my giant bags 2 blocks to my house. In the pouring rain. 🌦☔ Haha I got drenched. But I changed my clothes, ate an awesome dinner, then went to a great devotional put on by the MTC president. The rain doesn´t bother me 😂🌧🌈 The Welcome Committee
