Dear Pamilya,
I
GOT MY FLIGHT PLANS!! Okay, so I will be able to call on Monday the
25th either at the SLC airport between 2 30 and 3 30 or (most likely
this one) in LA from 4 30 to 10 15 pm (california time). So be ready for
that! Sorry it isnt more specific. Also, I will be calling the home
phone unless you have objections to that. After the 6 hour layover in
LA, I will be heading straight to HONG KONG then to MANILA. I wont be
getting mail on Monday most likely, so dont send me anything later in
the week! Thanks!
Also, family, can you send me more socks? I need the
little no show half ones to wear with my tracting shoes. I barely have
enough.
So something that is weird about the MTC
is I feel like I still haven[t left home. I see SO MANY PEOPLE that I
know. All the time. I can[t even write them all down. (Also this
keyboard types [ instead of apostrophes, so just ignore that...) Just
walking to the temple this morning I passed three people I know and it
was like six in the morning! Unbelievable.
ALSO JAMIE IS HERE AND I RUN INTO HER SO OFTEN AND IT
IS THE HAPPIEST AND MOST JOYOUS THING OF MY WHOLE LIFE. That[s it. I
stalked her on her first day and it worked because I found her while
she was still being hosted. I[m a champion stalker apparently, because
there were like 800 missionaries coming in that day. I think there are
3200 here right now. It is pure madness.
Oh oh oh HAPPY VALENTINES DAY, I GUESS. Mahal ko kayo.
Valentines day is way better when you[re in the MTC. I got, like, 15
times the gifts that I[ve ever gotten. So thanks everyone. Also, I
passed my one month mark on the 16th. Can you even believe that?? I feel
like I just got here yesterday and also that I[ve been here for a year.
So sa Linggo I was chosen to give a talk in sacrament
meeting (sa Tagalog). By chosen, I mean that everyone prepares a talk
and they let you know who is speaking when they annouce it over the
pulpit. So that was cool. Also, sa Sabado my district was like, {Let[s
sing in church tomorrow{ and I was like, YOU HAVEN[T HEARD ME SING. So
we did that and it was awkward.
Not much more to report.
Moving on to INVESTIGATORS.
1. We haven[t taught Artemio this week because he has been out of town. So there[s that.
2.
Roya is still preparing for baptism and my teacher taught me how to ask
Roya to put his phone away sa Tagalog so now I don[t have to say
{Magput ang cellphone ninyo sa bulsa{ which doesn[t make any sense
really, especially because {Magput{ is not a real word. But that[s it,
he is progressing well and excited to get baptized.
3. Toni. Ohhhh Toni. He is the most terrifying. Sister Ram is so
scared of him so I have to do all of the teaching when we teach him. He
hasn[t been keeping commitments and I know it[s because of US and not
becuase of HIM. We just have to do something differently. But this last
time we taught him, Sister Ram actually said some real things and he
sounds like he will really try to read the Book of Mormon. Mayroon po
akong pananampalataya that he will do it. That is all.
Magandang buhay ko, pamilya. I love being a missionary
more than anything else. It really brings me so much joy. Anyway, alam
ko na totoo ang Simbahan ito. Pasensiya that this email is so short. I
will be sending a package home this week with more things to tell you.
BUT THIS IS THE LAST EMAIL FROM THE MTC. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH AND I
WOULDN[T BE HERE WITHOUT YOU.
