sa
akong nindot pamilya It is
wonderful to my family
kamusta! thanks for
the email.
We have mostly Cebuano
Classes, and a couple times a week we study doctrine - there's a lot of ;times
in the day they fill with "additional study time" where we usually
focus on the lesson we'll give to "among mga maestros" as progressive
investigators. we have firesides every Sunday and devotionals every Tuesday.
most of them have been part of the MTC presidency or the temple president, and
the rest seem to have been part of the 70s.

There's only about 18
of us in the whole 2000 missionaries in the MTC learning Cebuano - so our
teachers over the three districts are in charge of most all of the books and
curriculum we use! the Cebuano speaking missionaries leaving tomorrow are three
in total - their district has three missionaries - Sister Fina'i (Samoan),Sister
Uitu faleagafulu(also Samoan) and Elder Wiscombe (very American). the weird
thing is, though, that Cebuano is the 5th most spoken language in the church,
right under Tagolog! the reason that there's only 18 of us is that most of the
Cebuano speaking areas have people from the Philippines MTC go there because it
can be dangerous in those areas, especially for white people. anyways, most of us Cebuano
speaking missionaries here are headed to Cebu, the rest are headed to Tacloban
(like my companion). Tacloban is mostly all a Bukid area. Cebu is apparently
very Americanized, but the surrounding area is very poor. I heard that the
people there are friendly, they'll just want to feed us but sometimes not be
interested in the message but only the fact that we're foreign.
So the other day in
gym, we were playing volleyball and someone spiked it hard and I swung my arms
to hit it with a bump, and even though the ceiling is super high, i knocked out
a ceiling tile and it fell down and landed on a corner, so it broke into at least
5 pieces- so we cleaned it up and I think I'll stick with sand volleyball
outside from now on :P
Ayo ayo!
Elder Dallin Carlson
p.s. one of the other
elders in my district knows someone else on our floor, and so he gave him a
funny letter that was actually a dear john that was creative and hilarious!
then he got a letter back saying that the other guy was tired of being bossed
around and asked about the dr
