we went time travelling.

this week seemed like it flew. we just packed and got ready to leave did a departure devotional 
and spent all the money left on my card so i would have snacks for the plane. it was sad to leave 
everyone in provo because we had become pretty close with the fijians and cantonese people 
in our residence. but then we left for the airport. it was weird to go through lehi and see everything out the window of 
the front runner. 
     the whole time we were travelling no one knew what we were doing so that was sort of 
stressful. we flew to san francisco and then after a  5 hour layover there we went to south korea
which was a 14 hour flight. i fell asleep right when i got on the plane and didnt wake up until 
10 hours later when they gave us eggs for breakfast. it was crazy because when i woke up 
suddenly it was wednesday. i missed dinner so that was sad. on the plane they gave us slippers 
and no one spoke english. we stayed in south korea for 3 hours. while we were in korea we all 
tried a bidea  which was really weird and uncomfortable. it made me think of the japanese
missionaries at provo, good luck. when we flew to manila everything was in korean again and 
it seemed like a really long flight but it was only 3 hours. 
    the first thing i thought of when i got to manila was the safety zone video with the electric 
wires. we drove to the mtc. then we had a snack and some good presentations about how 
amazing the philippines are. this mtc is so much smaller than provo we  talked with the mtc 
president about blankets and irons so its much more personal here. im in a trio, and the food 
here is like real food and they make it right in front of us. we also have nice big rooms here with 
bathrooms and showers inside them! everyone here speaks tagolog so i never know what anyone 
is saying. its super humid here and hot and rainy but its nice. yesterday i did abs and missed 
cross country i don't think i can run here in the mtc but maybe in the field. i love you all and 
im excited to be in the philippines! also i slept from 7:30 to 6:00 the first night we were here so 
that was nice. bye bye! i'll take pictures hopefully next week. 

also i forgot to say we met elder Gong at the salt lake airport and took a picture. i don't know where that

picture went though.
