With Love From The Philippines: Week 5 MTC "Getting Close!"

SIX DAYS AND I'LL BE ON MY WAY TO THE PHILIPPINES! I seriously can't wait. As great as the MTC is, I am excited to be out in the mission field, where I can see more nature than just Squaw Peak (don't get me wrong, I LOVE LOVE LOVE looking at Squaw Peak, pero it'll be nice to see some more greenery and people who aren't missionaries!)

Ha ha, one of the teachers here said that when he was on his way to the Philippines from the MTC, he sat on the plane next to someone he didn't know who was bilingual, and he said that first he spoke to him in english, and then he spoke to him in Chinese, and while this man was talking, the teacher thought to himself, I'm so glad I don't have to learn Chinese. That would be so hard.. And then the man next to him said a familiar word in Tagalog, and he realized then that that man had been speaking the language he had been learning in the MTC. Totally looking forward to that. ;)

Halloween in the MTC was surprisingly a BLAST! We dressed up... Uh when I say dressed up, I mean we had fake mustaches on during class (including the teacher) and of course I wore cat ears! No brainer!

I don't even know what happened this week... It went by stinkin fast- parang I swear I just had PDay YESTERDAY. OH! Guess who came and spoke on Tuesday?! Only the HAPPIEST man alive: President Russel M. Nelson! It was seriously humbling to just be in the same room as him. He was all smiles the entire time, with his smile that is wider than the sky! It was amazing to get to hear from him and his wife. They're such sweet souls. :)

Oh, funny story.... This week, we were taking our normal temple walk, and Sister Matheny nudges me and points to this nice car, and I go "Oh, cool" ya know, cause I'm not so into cars. And then my ENTIRE zone gasps, and points in one direction, and I look at where they're pointing, and this little body is just running at me with arms stretched open wide. And as I'm looking at this little body (I guess my mind was moving SO slowly) I think to myself "Awe, that's kind of cute." then my mind starts working again and I realize that this little person running at me is EMEREE! My sister just "happened" to be taking a stroll around the temple, with her baby, and she's running at me full speed! So I literally fell to the ground and cried LOL. Basta, I got to see Emeree and my Sister, and her husband this week! The car Sister Matheny was so intrigued by was Dane's car. Dane, my comp thinks you have a cool car.

So yeah, I'd say it's been a pretty 10/10 week. ;) I'll send pictures of me crying while hugging the breath out of this little girl.

Ps. Thanks to those of you who take time to read these emails. Love you all!! :)

Mahal Kita!
