This week has been pretty good! It has feels like it has been long though because i am so ready to get out of the MTC. Most everyone is excited and nervous at the same time. Its a crazy feeling. I did get the package, thank you. My flight from seattle leaves at 2:30 so i dont think i will be able to talk to the little kids...I will can call your phone and leave a message for them though.

  I already took the money out to trade for the Filipino peso at the airport. So all i have left is to pay for the baggage.

  This week we had to move back to main campus on tuesday so that day the canceled all of our classes. They brought us a huge bus and a moving truck. We loaded everything up around 11 and then went to main campus. We got to our dorms and just got to hangout out all day except for lunch, dinner and the devotional that night so we played 1 in the chamber. We have the nerf guns and had teams of 3. We had one dart each and if you got hit your out so we played that and then just talked. The devotional that night was given by Dallin H. Oaks and his wife. It was really good. When he came into the gym everyone stood up and he brought such an amazing spirit into the room.

  The next few day were all pretty normal. Just being in class and the eating breakfast, lunch and dinner. Friday we had our in-field orientation though. That was all day. It was from 8 to 5:20 at night. It was super boring and felt like forever. We just went over things like our planner and how to work with members, things like that.

  Thank andre and teri for me. They sent some candy and 2 ties. It was great getting a package from them.

  I am going to try and send a package home today of things that i dont need fro the Philippines. Hopefully i have time for that because we are going to the Temple this afternoon. I always love going there.

  Someone told me of a package thing in california. Its a boat that takes them to the Philippines. It takes like 5 weeks but its only $50 and there is no weight limit. Maybe that would be a good way to send things?

  I love you all and thank you for the support.

My teacher told me to make sure and put "gift" on the customs thing so i dont have to pay for it. I have no idea of what i would want for christmas! Maybe i can send some cool things home for you guys though. And let ana know about the package thing casue she didnt know how to send one. Ya i think it will change but im not sure to what yet. I think getting a package for Christmas would be more fun too. I would love to speak some Tagalog for you haha

Can you add dcohen0102@gmail.com to the list of people you forward my emails to? He is one of my teachers. Thanks! 

Mahal kita!
