This morning I went to Salt Lake City to the temple and the grounds. I left at 7am and got back at 2pm and then got a haircut, did laundry really fast and then went to choir. There are apostles all over the place here and they are speaking to us tonight at a special meeting!!!! It starts soon and I don't know when it ends so I don't know if I'll be able to send you a longer email.
The only really big news is.....TRAVEL PLANS!!!!!!!!!! I go from Salt Lake City to San Francisco to Hong Kong to Manila and then a long ride overland to Laoag. I don't have my flight plans with me right now but I hope to call home from one of the airports. It may be a late night phone call for you. I'll send you more about it on my next and final p-day which will be next Saturday not Friday.
I hosted new missionaries again this week. It was another great experience. So Niall is home. I can't believe his mission's over already! I miss him and wish I could see him.
I'm uber-excited for the Philippines! My teacher, Bro. Malina said that he knows I'm very prepared in the language which was comforting and then said that I'll definitely have to learn Ilocano as well. So we'll see how that goes.
I love you guys soooooooo much and miss you lots. I pray for you all the time. I learned lots about Christ this week and wish I could share it, and lots about Church history and loved it. Sooooo cool.

How Aboot That, Eh? - Week 7 at the MTC
KUMUSTA!!! So here's what's been happening this past week. We got a new district!!!! Awesome! They are the new 2A district because the old one left on Monday. There are 8 elders and 4 sisters. No Canadians but one elder is from Montana and he likes hockey. I wonder if I looked that scared on my first day?
Elder Chadderton and I and the co-ordinating sister (Sister Packard) did a tour of the MTC, and told the new missionaries how to use their study time and Companion Inventory. Elder Chadderton and I did a mock inventory for them - a good one and a bad one. For the bad one I told him he leaves Kiwi fruit skins all over the dorm room and it's driving me crazy. The other New Zealander sister liked that. We had planned on playing a minor, minor prank on the new district. Bro. Welch told us of a friend of his who served in Japan, and his ZL's told him, once he got there, that because of earthquakes they had to wear their bike helmets to bed. So he wore his to bed for two weeks until they told him otherwise. So we were going to tell them that we had to sleep with our thermostats on hot so it wouldn't be a shock when we get to the Philippines. A little mean but so funny eh?
The rest of the zone had gym and we were orienting the newbies (this is on Wednesday night). We got back to the dorm and I realized there were no mattresses on their new beds....I realized our zone had stolen them before they went to gym. It was actually a genius idea. This one elder in new 2A turned to me (he's a big rugby player) and said that this happened to him once before in college and he threw the guy out the window! My response was "These windows don't open". Zing! Anyways, it was funny until I found out where they put the mattresses. There's a supply room in our hall that they only open on Fridays to get new bedding and stuff. It's locked otherwise. Apparently a staff worker from the MTC had opened it, went to do something else, the zone stuffed the mattresses in there, and the worker came back and locked it without knowing they were in there. What a way to start your mission! I felt so bad. They didn't really try hard to get back into the supply room either until we told them that unless they got the mattresses back they would give theirs to the new missionaries. They got someone down to the dorms real fast!
The whole new 2A is going to Quezon City ( a mission that is growing so much that they split it recently) and ONE guy is going to Laoag (pronounced LA-WOG apparently, good to know).
We got a new teacher in place of Sis. Maiello. His name is Brother Malina and he's Filipino. I can't speak for all the teachers in the other districts but our teachers' teaching styles works like this: you love the people you teach, you let it show that you love them, you teach them the gospel just a little bit more than the language, and you teach them really well in the language. If loving those you serve is essential in every other position in the Church, why would it not be when you're teaching people who will be learning to love a different culture, and teaching a gospel of love for two years?
The value of work can't be understated here in the MTC. I'm so glad I had work experience before I came. Thank you so much for sending my Tagalog hymnbook. It will be worn out before I even leave here ( not really but we use them a lot).
We're having a zone conference today after p-day. The ZL's are holding it and the teachers are helping. It's a discussion on how to better study and plan (very imortant). I started studying Christ (broad topic, I know). But Elder Russell M. Nelson told me that there are something like 18 pages in the topical guide with scriptures on Chirst and that you would understand and love Christ more if you studied them. I love it so far. I'll try to do at least half a page a week so I can really analyze each scripture. One of the things I am learning about teaching the gospel to people, is to teach them how to get answers to prayers and to be patient in the process. If an answer came right away, you wouldn't treasure it as much because you didn't really work for it - like many things in life, I guess.
Apparently I have an accent. A weird Canadian/Scottish mix. I don't believe it but apparently I say "aboot" and "eh" a lot. I know more about America than the U.S. elders know about Canada. I named all the states for them and told them I'd give them all the money on my blue card if they could name 5 provinces in Canada (you get 6 bucks a week on you card, the amount from last week carries over if you don't use it all. You only spend it on laundry soap, haircuts, and stuff form the vending machines and store.) They said, Ontario, Alberta, Quebec, Toronto (haha) and that's as far as they got. It was good.
This week I've realized how many great people have been put in my path and how big an effect they have had on my life. It says in my patriarchal blessing that it's not by chance that I've met so many great people along the way. I think of people at Church, in high school and even people I met in Fort MacMurray when I worked there that summer. I'm just realizing how great a plan this is, being here on earth - how intricate our life stories are, how small things we learn from encounters with people can shape our whole lives. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to do the same for the people in the Philippines.
We taught a really good lesson this week. We had planned it all out but felt impressed to teach something different as we were directed by the Spirit. Our grammar and vocabulary were so-so but the Spirit was strong. You don't feel grammar. You don't feel vocabulary. You feel testimony though, and you feel the spirit, that's why we teach people, not lessons.
Lastly, Celetial breakfasts! Every Friday we go to the temple. And then we go to the temple cafeteria where they serve real good food (I am starting to get tired of MTC food). I look forward to it every week. Today I had an omlette, 4 pieces of bacon, hashbrowns, two biscuits with gravy - awesome!
We learned a new way to ask for things sa Tagalog: "Pahingi po ng ___?". So I started saying "Pahingi po ng Amen?" (can I get an Amen?). It's so funny to do to people while we're walking or to Tagalog teachers.
Anyways, this MTC experience is the single most impactful experience of my life, and it'll never happen again so I'm trying to make the most of it. It shows me how to appreciate life more - the small things more, and the big things too.
Alam ko po na totoo and simbahan ni JesuCristo. Alam ko po na totoong propeta ni Josep eSmit (how they say it haha) at totoong buhay propeta ni Thomas S Monson. Alam ko po na mahal po ng Diyos tayo. Mahal kita. Sa pangalan ni JesuCristo Amen. Pahingi po ng Amen? Haha.
Till next Friday! Love ya. Ingat po! Magandang araw!

Fourth Floor - Toilets & Firecrackers! - Week 6 at the MTC
Kumusta po kayo!!!??
I'm a Zone Leader now. Crazy eh? On Sunday they picked new ones because the older district leaves this Monday! We'll become the oldest district. Elder Chadderton and I are ZL's and Elder Stoddard is District Leader. Every night we go room to room and "tucker everyone in" like the old ZL's did. It involves lots of back slapping because that apparently makes guys feels less gay! I can't go to choir now on Sundays (which is when we practice for the Tuesday Devotional, and I always went to both) as I have meetings all day! We had a meeting with all the Zone Leaders in our dorm building and this slick-haired cocky Brit elder got up and said in all seriouness, "I have nothing to complain about since I know that my zone is the best in the building." What a blighter! (pardon my British). He then complained about another zone breaking the 4th floor toilet and now it "explodes when flushed" (there was a 5 minute discussion on what colour the water is when it explodes, I could hardly contain myself, it was so funny). Elder Chadderton and I have yet to find the right toilet. We've flushed almost all the toilets on the 4th floor, so we're getting close!
They also complained about our zone because someone rigged the shower curtains with firecrackers so when you pull the cutain it blows up. They also rigged the paper towel dispenser. I know who it is though. It's this new elder I call "Botchi" because his name is sooooo long and that's the first part of it. He can perfectly imitate a small dog's bark. We heard it coming from the bathroom one night and Elder Taurabakai got all excited saying "There's a dog, there's a dog" ( I hope he doesn't eat Botchi. Dog being a delicacy where he's from). Anyways, he's out of firecrackers so no more of that!
Actually, we're really good at being disciplined, on task and making good use of study time.
Elder Cohen told me my first day here that, "your study time will make or break your mission". I feel like it's making it right now.
I got Ryan's Dear Elder, and if you get me his address I'll send him a letter soon.
Sister Maiello is gone! She needed to be with her family before her sister goes to school in the Fall so they can all be together, as her dad is sick. She told us why each of us is special and sang "Be Still My Soul" to us. We then sang "God Be With You Till We Meet Again" to her sa Tagalog (it's possibly the most beautiful song and even better sa Tagalog).
We taught TRC in Tagalog only yesterday. We were supposed to talk about our favorite foods and then teach the first lesson. The lesson went so well. I felt so confident in my ability, which was purely the Lord helping me because I'm really not THAT good at remembering things. It was a really cool feeling. And then I blew the food task. The guy asked questions about food and my responses were soooo embarassingly funny.
After TRC we have a gospel question time with Bro. Welch who is the best. He rememebers pretty much every quote by a General Authority ever. I wouldn't be surprised if someday he'll be a General Authority. We talked about Christ and how we have a Saviour who has felt all pains that we've felt because He's lived them. He was tempted just like us except He never gave in to any of them. He wasn't always perfect. He developed that and became a true God through the grace of his Father. It is really comforting to know that we have a Saviour who is perfect, who is incapable of failing us.
Finally we talked about 1 Nephi 7:17. Nephi prays for God to help him break his bands, and God answers him but humbles him at the same time by loosening them instead. Elder Bednar said "Nephi didn't pray to have his circumstances changed, rather he prayed for the strength to change his circumstances". I am really starting to understand things better now.
We discussed two powers of the gospel. There's the redeeming power of the gospel that makes bad people good, but there's also the enabling power of the gospel that allows good people to become better than they could on their own. That verse and an understanding of the enabling power of the gospel, the ability to call on the power of heaven, is so great. I honestly feel that if God needed me to, I could move the mountain outside this MTC (even if I needed to use a shovel!).
We just found out today that we have a Norovirus outbreak at the MTC. It won't get me because I'm planning on being a germaphobe!
We now say "ay graBE!" (emphasis on the BAY, and roll the r) it pretty much means "Oh my goodness" or "yikes", etc. From what Bro. Welch tells us anyway.
I pray for everyone at home every day. Scritch the dog for me. Stay safe. SOBRANG MAHAL KO PO KAYO!

Last Week of English! - Week 5 at the MTC
It's Biyernes!!!!!!!!!! I went to the temple this morning and did a session. It was awesome as usual. TRC (Training Resource Centre) last night was our last TRC in English. From now on we will be teaching whole lessons sa Tagalog. Scary.
Heard about the postal strike. Uber annoyed with Canada Post. You guys will have to double up your "Dear Elder" output! (ha ha)
Brother Welch, our teacher, told us a story this week about one of the first times he bore his testimony of the Book of Mormon on his mission sa Tagalog. He said he knew with all his "pusa" (instead of puso which means heart) that it was true. So he actually said I know with all my cat that it is true! Pusa is cat. I laughed so hard. Learning the language is coming along well. We are memorizing verbs now. We are at the point where we can say pretty much anything we want if we sit down and work it out. It's just hard to do in your head. Although we did teach a really good lesson about the Book of Mormon last week.
Elder James, in the district ahead of ours, broke his arm goofing around with Elder Taurabakai. They're like best friends and they were trying self-defence stuff and he flipped him. So Elder James is going to stay back with our district until he's ready to go.
In a week we will be the oldest district in the zone! It honestly feels like just a week ago I got here. Time flies. The new district is doing really well. We try to look out for them. We got new sister missionaries but Sister Steele is still our companion during class time.
NHL comes to WINNIPEG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited! I screamed and ran to tell the only other elder in our zone who likes hockey. I hope they call them the Jets. Keep me up on all the hockey news.
Thanks for all your letters! I've heard from so many people back home and I really appreciate it.
I really do love it here. Some days I think I'm doing great at teaching and speaking Tagalog and the next, I think I'm terrible at it. The Lord keeps me humble ( and that's when I'm most successful I noticed).
I realized yesterday that I really missed Ryan! Someone said that they would hide in someones suitcases to get to somewhere and I thought of Ryan - he said that to me when I was leaving. Tell him hi, and get him to "Dear Elder" me about his new lawn tractor. He must be very excited and I can't wait to hear about it.
I have decided that I'll never stop singing. It's the best! It shows how happy you are and it's contagious. Our district sings all the time. But don't worry - only uplifting music!
Our teacher, Sister Maiello is leaving! She wants to be with her family in California. Her dad is sick and she misses them. She was crying when she told us. She leaves Wednesday. She struggeld with leaving but she prayed and prayed and got her answer. It really showed me how you should make those kinds of tough decisions. You really have to listen hard to the spirit. We're going to sing her the hymn, "God be with you till we meet again", sa Tagalog. She will love it.
I'm so happy to be here. I know without any doubt that I'm in the right place. I'm learning how awesome the Book of Mormon is and how to pray with real intent. Nothing is better than offering your deepest desires, emotions and thoughts to your Father in Heaven. When I do it, I ALWAYS get answers!
Say hi to everyone for me. Love you lots.
