Okey dokey. So this'll be my weekly email. I seriously wish that we
could just email all the time because then I'd never have to write a letter.
I'm seriously getting caluses on my hands from how much I'm writing. My
pinky has left a permanant indent in the palm of my hand :P
So
to answer your questions. Brother C's little boy, A, is
adorable. He showed us pictures of him. So stinking cute. About the
blanket. I talked to the girls and we all decided that that is a genius
idea. You can just send it to me and we'll give it to him. We're the
last group that he gets to teach dahil you can only teach at the MTC for
three years. It's very sad.
Can
you get the Prince of Egypt sheet music from K and send it to me with
the rest of the music? It's called When You Believe. All of us wanna
sing it so badly.
Thanks for ordering the card reader. Hopefully it'll get here soon. I'm attaching a pic of my name tag because D wanted it.
Speaking of name tags, we only get the ones we have. We will be called
Sister in the Philippines and the church is called the English name sa
Tagalog because that's how it's spelled on the church buildings... Kinda
lame but it's ok.
Yay!
I'm so excited to go shopping. All of us over here are already sick of
our clothes. Wearing the same things week after week is soooooo dumb.
And I know that once I get back I'll be shocked as to how much we have.
It usually takes a while for missionaries to get used to living the
American way after coming back from a third world country.
So our other
teacher is Sister S. She's been off her mission for about a year and
she is awesome. She's so sweet. Oh and she's 6'2" and blonde. Ha!
Imagine her being over there :)
Are you
allowed to just show up at the Portland airport to see me? Is that okay?
It would be amazing to see you guys but I don't want to break the
rules. Oh and the district older than us leaves on Monday and then we'll
be the old ones here. We get our flight plans on this next Friday. I'm so excited! So I'll let you know where we're landing next Saturday I guess.
I
am sobrang jealous about 7/11. Seriously we were all sitting in class
and were like Dangit! It's 7/11! We all started making plans about how
to get a free slurpee but honestly we couldn't think of a way that
wouldn't be breaking the rules. So... no slurpees for us. Darn.
And of course I use smiley faces! How on earth would you know how I'm feeling otherwise? :)
Yes,
we SYL. I try to do it a lot but it's really hard to get my brain to
translate from Tagalog into English. It hurts my head sometimes. But it
is getting easier.
Ok
so this week has been fun. Nothing really big has happened. Just a
typical week here. The food's still amazing. The spirit is still strong.
The people are still awesome. And the church is still true. Yay! haha
Oh
we're all becoming really good friends with the new elders that came in
last week. They're all super funny. We call one of them Elder Teddy
Bear because he looks like a big teddy bear and his companion is Elder
Idaho because all he talks about is Idaho. They're so fun to mess with.
And
I think that's everything I wanted to tell you. I love you guys and I
miss you but it's all good cuz I know this is where I'm supposed to be
right now.
Mahal kita!
Kapayapaan sa labas! (literally, peace out :))
-Sister Hess
