Eades, Oakley P

Kumusta! Made it half way through the MTC! Our district had a little ice cream party last week when we hit 4 weeks… 4 more to go!! I’ve been here for a long time but it has actually been so good! I love being a missionary!  Currently there is only one other Tagalog district at the MTC and they leave tomorrow. Its a tradition in the MTC that the older Tagalog district puts on an FHE for the newer Tagalog district right before they leave. So last Friday both of our districts got together for FHE and it was so fun! We started off with a prayer, spiritual thought,and we sang Army of Helaman. That song is so powerful especially when everyone singing is a missionary. The spirit here is always so strong and it is so cool that everyone here is here for the same purpose. After that, we played tons of games that probably would not have been as fun if I wasn’t a missionary but everything seems way funnier when you are a missionary haha. My claim to fame this week was that I won musical chairs...

Hello hello! I don't have hardly anything to write about haha but missionary life is so awesome. I got to the Provo MTC last Wednesday and it's been so good so far! The food is usually mid but sometimes it's half decent so we count our blessings when it's something good haha. Anyway, everyday here is basically the same. Wake up, class, study, lunch, class, study, dinner, class, sleep. But it's so good. We learn so much every day and the spirit is so strong.  We also have started learning Tagalog and wow the gift of tongues is so real. Our Tagalog teacher has been in the hospital cause she broke her back or something so we hadn't had a Tagalog lesson for about a week and we were very behind schedule. So on Friday they tried to cram a week's worth of tutoring into one hour and it was a lot and kinda stressful. But as we've continued to learn its starting to make a little more sense and it's coming together! God is so real and the gift of tongues works ...
