Hey there fam!

As for packages, any food would be awesome! I'm always hungry here. My companion is Elder Larson. He is from pleasant grove UT. He is a super funny guy. We are both going to the same mission. My district is half cauyan and urdineta. We have 4 elders and 8 sister. Our teacher told us we would probably be split though when we move to west campus wich really made us all sad because we have become so close and are like family. I love Elder DivVer who is our DL. He reminds me of Tuck. He is from Salt Lake. And most everyone is from here in UT except for one of the sisters of is from Washington. Yes the language is coming along pretty well. I can say a prayer and bear my testimony. We have also be teaching an "investigator" (one of the teachers) everyday since day 2 and have to use as much Tagalog as we can. The first day was some rough and we could barley introduce ourselves. But at day 3 we can do our whole lesson in Tagalog. Its only about 15 minutes long and most of the time we have no idea what she is saying to us but we can still feel the spirit so strong and she has told us that. The food isnt too bad here. My daily schedule is packed. We get up at 6:20 and have to be dressed and in our classroom by 7. Then we plan out our day. Have breakfast at 7:30. Back in class at 8 and in there till 11. We use preach my gospel and we learn the language. After that is personal study till lunch at 12:10. The we go back to class at 12:55 and have Language study still 2:10 and after that we have class till dinner at 5:10. During class is when we quickly plan a lesson and have to go teach Joy our investigator. When we finish that we go and study whatever we want. Then after dinner we have gym for and hour. Then we have TALL which is something on the computer to help us learn the language. Then more study time till about 9:30. After that is free time and we got back to our residence and hangout. My favorite thing by far has been teaching Joy. It is just so awesome to be able to try and speak Tagalog and communicate with her even though we dont do to great of a job we can still feel the spirit.

West campus is at Wyview which is on BYU campus. They are the apartments that students use to live in. They are really nice, living room, kitchen, etc. I cant wait to move there on Tuesday. We also are allowed to leave and go eat at the restaurants near where we stay. We are moving there because the are redoing doing some of the rooms here at the main campus and they like the Tagalog branch the best so we get to move. Yes i can get up on time and the rules are fine haha. There are devotionals tuesday and sunday nights and they were both good. We get gym time 4 times a week and i just play volleyball for the hour and totally destroy everyone! Yes I have 5 good friends. The 3 elders in my district and 2 from in our zone. We are the G-squad. We have Div (elder Divver) the lamb slayer (elder lamb) frosty(elder wright and because he has a white streak in his hair) Musscles (elder musscleman) Chow (elder larson) and Im St.Geezey. And no i dont really get too homesick because i dont have enough time to be.

Yes i get the Dearelders and they are great to get.
