so i just got back from the temple and i got to do sealings today. it was really amazing to see how it all works, i actually thought it was a lot longer than it really is. so we went in and got started and after the first parents got sealed some one else came in and it was one of the osmands! they said donny had just left! i was like what? it was really cool he said he was just in the philippines for something i dont really remember what but ya super cool, and it made my miss you all so much, and i cant wait for my turn to be sealed in the temple (the marriage ceremony in our temple is called a sealing. it is not a "til death do us part", it is forever! and these sealings are performed for families that have died without being "sealed". that is what he was doing in the temple. you can find out more about temples HERE)
so we have been going about our week kinda talkative. we really need to focus more now that we have our flight plans i found out i'm in charge of mine and my companions tickets as flight leader. we leave from here at 4:30 and fly to LA we get to LA about 9 at night and leave for Hong Kong at about 1:30 in the morning. we land in Hong Kong at 7:30 the next day. i then sit in Hong kong for about 4 hours and fly to Manila where we have a 5 hour lay over and then fly to tacloban and get there about 5 at night. so itll be super fun!
so this week we have strated teaching a lot more we teach almost everyday we started the new program were we have a progressive investigator who we teach until we leave. so it's really cool to get to know the lessons a lot better by teaching them. so we have been really trying to only speak cebuano pero ... its not happening we talk to much and it always ends up in english, we really need to work on that.
so kamrie wrote me and said she is sitting on an excersice ball in class thats really cool i wish i could have done that.
so porter leaves later today, i got a few pictures with him sunday and a few before that but didn't get one at the map. bummer. but i had a lot going on this being my last p-day here i have to make sure i get everything done.
so the new cebuanos are learning so fast and I'm super jealous but I'm not at the same time because they are all stressed out and I'm about to leave so its all good. i cant wait till i get to only speak visayan/warry-warry hopefully I'm able to pick up on the differences fast and i really want this language thing to just stop i don't want to speak english anymore.
so we had two firesides and the people taught the exact same thing used the same chart and everything it was really weird it was all about the conversion process including members and how they move to the next level of faith. i know the lord loves us all and wants us to know everything we can in order better understand his gospel.
well i love you all and i really want you to know i enjoy all the support i can get it lifts me up every time i get a letter and reassures me this is where i am supposed to be. and i want you to know i pray for you all every night and thank heavenly father for the great blessings you all are in my life.
well this is my last email until i get to the philippines but i am aloud to call you all while I'm in the airport so I'll try and call as soon as I get to salt lake if not I'll try from Hong Kong (did you get that, we get to talk to him on the phone!!!!!!!)
so until then ayo ayo
