Hey guys, here's an update from Cassandra:

Kumusta po kayo!?
Maganda Umaga!

Yay for the MTC. Its been pretty tough here. I want to punch my companions sometimes. Hah joke-long:) The food is ok. Waking up early in the morning is pretty much the hardest thing il've ever had to dooO! ::crosses eyes:: But i'm working hard, I have absolutely no energy by the end of the day. The language makes me want to shoot myself, but its getting better. My favorite word so far is pananampalataya. We have to practice teaching our teachers everyday, and each time I can understand more and more. Now I just have to learn how to speak the language! i usually use the chalkboards and play charades to get my point accross. My favotie lesson so far has been the Plan of Salvation, abou the Kingdoms of Heaven. I pretty much just drew everything:) Unfortunately, I wont have chalkboards in the PHIL. I hope to hear from more of you. I dont have much time to write back but I try my hardest. I miss home and my family and friends. YOu are always on my mind. I sent out some pictures to Dave, I think he'll post some up on FB or on this blog...not sure. I'm hitting the one month mark on Wednesday. I always said I wouldnt count down, but here, I cant help it soooo.....17 more months to go! I hope you are all doing well and I ask that you keep me in your prayers please! Salamat po:)

Miss you alll!!!

Mahal Ya'll
