My companion is from L.A. Califronia. I have no sisters in my district. My Tagalog teacher's name is Brother Kaka. Learning Tagalog is super hard. My teacher never speaks English. Ther are also so many words that we learn each day. It can be very hard to remmeber any of them. The food is all right. I live in the Rain tree mtc. The cafeteria looks like one of those portable classroom buildings. I have seen sister Clifton, Sister Benson, and Sister Knapp on my first day. I am doing well so far. It is a lot of work and there is not much time to write or do much else. I kind of need a watch and metal hangers.
Today was Friday and it was the first day that we had a normal schedule. We finally got an hour to exercise, however my companion does not like to run so we played basketball after some encouragement from the rest of the district. We also ended up playing four square and volleyball which really did not feel like excercise. I had to teach an "investigator" in Tagalog. I basically wrote the lesson, translated it and then memorized it. I still forgot a lot of it and had to use Taglish (Tagalog mixed with English). It was all right but it is crazy how much there is to learn! Tomorrow (Saturday) is my pday, so I will be able to email!
