Freezing My Butt Off!

Hello!

Well I am over here freezing my butt off! I didn't bring any warm clothes and it has been pretty cold the past few days! Things are going really good. I really just want to get out of this place and actually teach people! I feel pretty good about teaching people now, the language is still pretty hard but its getting a lot better. I can have a conversation with filipino's its hard to underatand everything they are saying because they speak so fast. We can teach all the lessons in Tagalog. We can pretty much teach everything we know but sometimes we don't know words or we say it wrong. They say seem to know what we are saying so it's all good!

Time has gone pretty fast, it feels like I just got to the MTC. I have met a lot of people and have grown really close to them, so it will be weird to just leave and meet a whole bunch of new people!

General Conference was soo good, I loved it and it really pumped me up! haha. I took a lot of notes and it just made me want to be the best missionary I can be! I really love doing what I am doing and I know that it will be even better once I get out into the real world.

I am getting sick of the MTC, especially the food. I pretty much just eat a bowl of Shredded Wheat for most meals. I really miss all my mom's home cooked meals! Today I went to the temple and we ate at the temple, it was really good. My relationship between Heavenly Father and I has grown so much! I have got a very strong testimony of this wonderful gospel! I know that without a doubt that this gosepl is true!! I miss all of you and hope all is going well! Thanks for all the love and support, I have the best family in the world :) I love you all and would love to hear from you all!!!!

Love,
