Hey super awesome family of mine!
I hope everyone is doing just fabulous! I LOOOOOVE the
MTC!!!! And pretty much, I know so many people here. Jackson Lloyd, Alex
Tamaang, Payton Thomas, Sister Hale... its been kinda crazy how many people I
bump into that I know. Anyway, the MTC is just super fantastic! Its been a
crazy amount of learning, and I spend enormous amounts of time in the classroom
(as expected), but I freaking love it! And it's amazing how much Tagalog I learned
in just the three days in the classroom that I have had! The first day was the
craziest, after showing me around and getting my books, we went straight into
the classroom (I was the first one there by about 15-20 minutes) and then
Brother Kaka (our teacher) just started speaking to me in Tagalog, pointing to
things on the board and such... It was crazy hard, and it was just the two of
us, but after a few hours of Tagalog being spoken at me, I actually started
understanding some! Haha, it's crazy hard, but super awesome! Anyway, so my
companion never did show up to the MTC, so now I am in a threesome with Elder
McMurtrey and Elder Tuitavake. They are both super studs! We have such a good
time together. Oh, and the quote at the top comes from Pych! One of my
favorite quotes... Elder Tuitavake quotes Psych with me all the time, so hence
the quote.
Our district is really tiny, there are only five of us.
Three Elders and Two sisters. They are all super dope! So is our teacher. Brother Kaka! And the food is pretty fantastic too! I'm not too picky, so I
enjoy it rather a lot. We have so much going down right now, but the only thing
that I think I am struggling with is the language. I get along great with
companions, and the teaching isn't too bad, except that it's in Tagalog. They
had us "teach" an investigator in Tagalog yesterday.... yaaa....
hahaha, I thought I knew some Tagalog until she started asking questions... I
mean, even if I understood what she was asking, I could never come up
with any words to answer her with!!!! Bah! That was slightly frustrating, but
hey, for a third day, we were doing pretty fantastic, if I do say so myself! Our
zone is pretty cool, we have really cool zone leaders, but they head out to the
Philippines this week.
Bah, I took a couple pics for you guys, but I didn't bring
my camera! I'll see if I can send them later. Our zone has been on the Saturday
schedule for p-days, but now cause of the new year, we are switching to
Mondays, so you guys should here from me again on Monday and I'll try to figure
out how to send the pics then.
So basically I love it here. Even though class is long, I
love class, my district is amazing, my comps are awesome, the spirit here is
awesome... just, everything in the MTC is just the freaking best!
Oh, and I did indeed get the package! Haha, ya, the first
day I opened up my bags and went, "Noooooooo!" cause I left my new
scriptures at home (haha, "really, how are you going to do that, when your
not even wearing pants! Noooooooooooo!" haha, for you Stephanie! Name
it!). We are going to look for a microwave today so we can eat said OBCC.
Also, Elder Tuitavake has an amazing voice, and some of the
sisters sing too! So we eat quickly, and then with the extra time that we have,
we go do some singing. Its so dope! you should here Elder Tuitavake sing!
Stud...
Well, that's really all I've got for today. Josh, Stephanie,
Mom and Hannah Lynn all promised me letters! So I expect some emails next week!
haha, either way, I freaking love it here! I hope you are all just doing simply
marvelous! I love you all! Peace out fools!
P.S.- I don't have anyones emails until people
write me! So, if you want me to write you... Write me something! haha
Oh, and another p.s.- I don't know addresses to send real
letters to, I don't know grandmas house, and I don't know the address for
Michigan... I mean, its like 14** Iroquois Lane, but I don't know the zip....
it might be 48104... but I'm really not sure, so if you guys want the handwritten
letter that I wrote, you'll have to send me an address ;)
