Parentals,
Happy Sunday y'all! I've been in basic now for 2 weeks. Crazy huh? But it's been okay. I've started adjusting and making friends. Some of the girls I live with are great; others love sass and drama. So we all suffer as a Platoon. I've dropped about 5 lbs and ache everywhere. But it's good. I'm getting stronger.
So there are 3 phases in BCT. Red (1st), White (2nd), and Blue (3rd). As a battery we have to advance. So if one Platoon can't advance, then the whole battery stays back. I'm pretty sure my Platoon will hold everyone back. We have no discipline...So it's super frustrating.
They (the drill Sgts.) broke us last night though. Most of us at least. So I'm praying for improvement! It's a process.
Church was really nice! We got the sacrament and heard 3 talks and everything. We can get callings too. I marked available for that...fingers crossed I don't actually get one. But the Elder (from the missionary couple) is supposed to contact y'all to tell you I'm alive and okay. The people were super nice. We got cookies and banana bread. Made my week. Mail would make my week but I haen't gotten any of that. The male to female ratio at church is crazy though. like around 10:2. So I sat with one of the 8-10 females there. I 'm grateful that church is there though. It really helps.
I miss everyone but I know I'm supposed to be here and I'll make it through. If people write me make sure they write a #2 on the back of the envelope. Because I'm 2nd Platoon.
Love y'all. Stay safe.
xoxo PVT Kendrick
