"Well I guess I'll explain what this blue dot is. When we first got here they asked us to put it on and wear it for our first week. It let everybody know that we are new here and we don't really know what's going on. Also, everybody wanted to talk to us and tell us how the 1st week was gonna suck. We also got special privileges. I am glad to take it off that way I don't have to listen to the vet's tell us about their MTC experience. Our district got together and we had a taking the blue dot off ceremony. Blue dot people are known as smurfs. They also tell us to take it off before we go into the city because the people know what it means and they will take advantage of you. We set all our missionary nametags on the ground and took pictures of them. Today was a busy day. We had classes all day. We had 10 hrs. and 30 min. of classes today. It went by pretty quickly."
