I've made it safe and sound to the Manila MTC. The flights were forever long! Like 16 hours plus two other flights. Pero, I'm finally here and it is BEAUTIFUL! I love the humidity and the heat! Everything is just SO PRETTY! There is an abundance of trees everywhere you look, plus so many smiling Filipino faces! It's a super happy place from what I've seen. :)
It's funny because driving in the Philippines is NUTS! We were on this giant bus, and other giant mga busses would swerve in front of us and cause our driver to slam on his breaks, and then he would do the same to others. There seems to be no real driving system... people just drive. Ha ha! Super funny, because I wasn't worried about crashing- these Filippinos seem to know exactly what they're doing. ;) I wish I could send pictures right now, but I am literally just on to let you all know that I made it to the Philippines safely.
So now I am in the Manila MTC, and a lot of the missionaries here are from the Philippines, and of course I thought that I was doing pretty well with the language... UNTIL Filippinos started talking to me. I know NOTHING. This is where I learn patience with myself, and to trust in God and in the Gift of Tongues, right? Plus maraming studies....
Anyway, I love you all so much! Stay safe, and remember whose ya are. :') God is good.
