Mga Pamilya
Mga Pamilya all my family i love all of you out there who takes the time to either dear elder or write me a letter i really do appreciate every single one i get i get so excited well again thank you
well this week here at the mtc we all had some good times the language seems to get more easy by the day here with awesome teachers like brother mofat and brother nordtram he has been here for almost 4 years and is friends with alaina makaylas old kasama anyway what else we got to usher for the devtional last week and guess who came to the devotional that night it just so happened to be a genral authority how blessed are we to usher that night and get those great seats by the apostle i was so excited to see his name he talked a lot of president monsons famous quotes he has one of them i wont forget is NEVER never never ignore the prompting of the holy ghost some of you may know that president monson was a bishop at the age of 22 anyway so when he was a bishop he was in a ward council right before the meeting he herd of a less active memeber was in the hospital and so he made plans to go visit him that night so he was in the middle of the meeting he was prompted to leave the meeting but he didnt want to be rude so he waited till the meeting was over raced over to the hospital ran up the stairs and just as he found the room the nurse just put a blanket over the mans face and the nurse asked Are you Bishop monson he answerd yes and the nurse said he was calling out for you before he died and from that day he learned never ever ignore a prompting the holy ghost prompts us for a reason and we need to follow him
last sunday we had a speaker come talk to us he was more like a comedian then anything anyway his main message was Dont Be Stupid to remember who we are and who we represent and the rules are there for a reason he told of a story about these missionarys who after a zone conference decide to play basketball then they got talking about bombs of all things and after much talk they decited to make some bombs just cause they could and then they lit one off in the road woke the the police captian up and the cops showed up right away then they lied that it wasnt them and then they decited to tell the Truth the cops then went into the house with more bombs inside with a map with pins on it those elders spent the night in jail
another set of elders got sent home and closed an entire mission for sitting on a buddah statue because they did not respect their culture so dont be stupid we were told
hmmm what else interesting happened today well our older district leaves today and they ll be missed and they had some fun for sure haha oh the stuff they do

Week 3!!!
kumusta po tayo how is everyone doing its been a intresting week here at the mtc we had our first trc here it was so asteg ako ng kasama got 2 phillipinos as our 2 ivestgators there from the phillippines they it was so cool to talk to them me and my kasama made this big lesson and we bassically talked to them for 20 minutes it was asteg champre i wish we could do that more often my 2 guros are brother nordstrem he knows alenia makayla and brother mofat he is so down to earth and a great teacher for us it seems like were learining a lot here at the mtc we have found out our class will be down with the grammer in 6 weeks and the last 3 is just all practice i cant wait till this language finnaly sticks in my head and i can finnaly speak it with out thinking to hard its a simple language but weird at times natuto po si joseph smith sa mga tao (google translate) anyway
so last wednesday i kind of hurt my ankle haha it was kind of a funny story of how it happend so i was jumping off one foot to do a heel click and i put to much pressure on one side of my foot and i think it was just a mild sprang if anything but i did take it easy for a week and it feels a lot better so you doing have to worry i also bought my self a ankle brace just incase it my ankle acts up for sports and logan i get to play basket ball now since the gym open last sunday we saw the legcy church talks are good and all but sometimes you just want to watch a movie am i right haha we went to the temple this morning my kasama doesnt have his reccomend on him and he isnt in the system either so they let us in but he is pretty forgetful on things like he didnt bring a suit jacket with him our branch president was harrasing him about it and our hair even if someone was bald he would tell them to get their hair cuts oh well thats there job i guess
i finally got those glasses in the mail yesterday i was wondering what was taking so long and thore awesome although i seem to be clumbsy when i am walking around so i just use them when i am reading thanks dad for those you spoiled me with a lot of things here i do enjoy all the dear elders there asteg asteg you could send as man as you want i have been writing in my journal every night some are more lengthy then others at leas i am writing in there
we as a class starting reading in the aklit ni morom it is so nice to have everyones insight on the book of mormon we discuss what we think that verse or bursiklio means its the best part of the day for sure besides sports and food other than that its the best ever the mtc seems to get better every week i keep going to the wrap line i cant get enough of it its llke barbracoa i miss it its going to be hard not to have that or rancharitos haha
Logan i found out the the ties you gave me will get ruined cause of all the huminty and ties there are really cheap so when im about to leave the mtc i ll be sure to send those your sunglasses so you dont have those ties ruined thanks again for all those last minute things
little issiah needs to stop growing for at least 2 years and stay that age
How goes getting the blessing and hows everyone doing i cant believe tomorrow will be the start of my 4th week here at the mtc week its going by faster then i thought im tired though cause it seems we all need just a little bit more sleep i almost a fell asleep in the session today it took a lot to stay awake theres a tree here at the mtc that smells just like cream soday its so crazy i want one of those trees at my house when i have one assuming im rich enough to buy one jokelong the food is still great i stay away from those fake mashed potatoes and only go for the ones that still a potato and not a flake i m from idaho falls so i am aloud that right to be picky about my potatatoes ha ha almost all of us are from idaho huh anyway i m trying to remember to send out some letters and sorry if i dont our days are so busy we dont really get a lot of time to send out letters
alam ko po na totoo po ang aklit ni mormon at pagbabayad-sala ni jesuscristo mhalaga po ang propreta theres a little testimony in sa tagolog sorry im out of time i will talk to you future and missionarys next week keet ta keets
