Here's another update from Sister Martinez. Make sure you still write to her!

Kumusta po kayo!?

 

Friends and Family! I leave the MTC in 3 weeks! AghhhH! So eveerything is so great. I've been making friends with everyone here! Its a ton of fun! I got to meet my mission president and his wife. His name is Mario Lopez, unfortunately he's not THE Mario Lopez hah ;) But they are seriously soo amazing! I can't wait to serve with them. Theyre soo tiny and cute! We get to have dinner with them tonight which is so great. All the new mission presidents are having training this week so all the apostles, except for 2 are here on campus! I've seen Elder Uchtdorf, Nelson, and Cook. Its great! I think we'll get to hear from an apostle tonight which will be super awesome! I was made coordinating sister (still dont know how I feel about that) but I guess I have three weeks to learn to have patience and love for my fellow sisters. I'm loving every minute of the MTC (six weeks in) but HEY! better late than never right? The language is getting easier but I still can understand more than I can speak. I'm learning the first vision in Tagalog! So here goes,

 

Ako ay nakikita ng isang haligi ng liwanag na tamang tama sa tapat ng aking ulo,

higit pa sa liwanag ng araw,

na dahan dahang bumaba hanggan sa ito ay pumalibot ng ako....

 

Yup thats pretty much all I've got for now! And I'm not even sure thats right but HEY! I wont even be speaking Tagalog on my misson. Yup, thats right, I'll be speaking Hiligaynon. A dialect of Tagalog but it has a completely different vocabulary! can't wait! I know i'll love the language soon enough:)

 

Mahal Ya'll!
