Kumusta mga tao! This is the last post before I head off to
the Philippines! It's crazy to think that I'll be half-way across the world
teaching in Tagalog. I, along with the other missionaries in my district, will
be flying on the 9th and will make two layovers in LA and Hong Kong. I'll also
get to stay in the Manila MTC for about 5 days and attend the temple there.
This week has been mostly continuing to study the language and practice
teaching. They have all missionaries go to an "In-Field Orientation"
program where they teach you about how to transition into real missionary work
with real people. I also got to skype Danika in the Philippines again! It's so
great to see a sneak preview of how loving and welcoming the Filipino people
are. I got to see the documentary "Meet the Mormons" and I loved it.
If any of you are curious about what Mormons believe or what values we have, I
would highly encourage you to watch it. It's really well made, and I believe
it's currently available on Netflix.

The MTC has been a wonderful experience
and I'm going to miss the missionaries that I've met here. Side note, it seems
like every single sister missionary owns at least one yellow skirt. Like, when
walking from place to place, I'll play a game with myself and count all the
yellow skirts I see. One time I got 12 in just five minutes. I don't know if
it's an unspoken sister missionary rule to wear them all the time but I think
it's really funny. I don't know how many yellow skirts there will be in the
Philippines, but I'm excited nonetheless to travel there and help people come
unto Christ.
