Kumosta po kayo?! So far the MTC has been great I love it here so far. Which I don't know may be kinda weird cuz a few of the missionaries are having more of a tough time adjusting to the new routine. The day I got here as soon as we got here we were immediately immersed in Tagalog. We were taken to a room to watch orientation videos on computers and the teacher helping us only told us what to do in Tagalog so that was interesting. And when our teachers teach us pretty much anything its only in Tagalog. So its a little overwhelming, but you know me, I'm like its whatever with everything so I'm not really stressing. The language is definitely interesting, I enjoy learning it but its not easy. There are a few words in Tagalog that come from Spanish so I love when we come across words like that. Like my greeting is pronounced pretty much the same as Como esta? But its spelled that way and means the same thing.
We've already learned a lot of the language. We're praying in Tagalog in class starting today for here on out which is crazy! My companion is Elder (Josh) Smith. Our personalities are pretty different. Like he's more of the quiet guy that likes to do things on his own/doesn't mind being alone, and I'm the athlete that likes to talk to everyone and be doing stuff a lot. But he's awesome. We get along really well, and he is great at putting words to what you're trying to explain. The other guys in our district are great too. We have a lot of fun together especially learning Tagalog. There's no one in our district that like I would not want to be companions with, they're all way cool. One of them's from North Pole, Alaska...legit! Oh and one of the sisters in our district is from Aukland, New Zealand. She's pretty quiet but seems pretty cool too.
Two days ago we were learning like the most basic sentence structure and learning our testimonies. Like what were saying was the most basic of things but when I said it I could still feel the Spirit testify to me of its truth and I thought that that was so cool! To know what I'm saying is true in another language that I don't know hardly at all, is way cool!
I got a package from Sister Demers' mom the other day that was quite surprising but the goodies inside tasted good so I'm happy and so are some of the other guys in the district...haha. Well I guess I'll wrap this up. I feel like its really long. Kudos to Wesley Turner for being the first one to write me in the MTC, he's awesome.
Love,
Elder Gadberry
