hey everyone how is everyone doing me i'm doing really good the food is so good here i really enjoy it so much they had some funral potatoes they were so good i had 4 servings of it haha nothing new to me the rest of the food is great too everyone is so nice here once all of us hit Sunday we all started to love this place sundays are the best i saw a video called characterised of christ it was such a good talk it was by david a bednar it mainly talked about how we should all turn out word he told us a story about when he was a stake president he got a phone call in the middle of the night it was a sister in the stake saying that there was  a terrible accident 2 girls were seriously injured and 1 was proncued dead now the sister didn't know who was dead but she was on the phone with 2 people at the same time the stake president and the nurse at the hospital and so as she was talking to both of them the stake president herd from the other phone that her only child passed away but instead of feeling sorry for herself she told the stake president to call the other mothers to let them know whats going on but the stake president was asked to id the girls from the accident so he went to the hospital and id all 3 of them but before the funral the sister whos daughter died called the president and said I want you to see the body the morgtions did a wonderful job making her look better she was concerned that presidents last memory of her daughter wasnt a bad image another great example of turning out word
the day of the funaral she got a call from a sister in the ward who was sick complain no one has brought her a meal now she didnt know about the accident but the sister brought a meal to her before heading to her daughters funral i know we should all strive to be like that sister and turn outward just as the savior did
'i want to thank everyone for writing me i really appreciate it letters are the best thing ever here its like mtn dew or chocolate for the females reading this haha the mtc is such a wonderful place with all the food the spirit and the people here there willing to help my mtc teach is bro normstrom he say s he knows aliana makayla what a qua dink a dink  but i met a sister who went on a mission in idaho and knew uncle grant small world huh
now the language of tagalog is coming along a lot better now we just learned how to use ang ng and sa meaning we can make sentences make sense now the language is so awesome i love it it makes so much more sense then english i dont know why we dont all speak it haha oh well must be a reason
Logan thanks for the care package and the charger it is really cool you did that and my companion is elder contreas he is mexican but a realy cool elder he finds humor in a lot of things and wants to always be studding talk about being dedicated he even suggested skiping meals but i couldnt give up food
