Kumusta po Kayo mga pamilya!!
Alright, so i want to start off with apologizing for my english and spelling. My brain thinks tagalog now and it does not help when i am trying to say something and i say "pero" I mean, "pero"... UGH! no. I mean "but" haha. I guess that is good though. I have a funny story. Kasama ko and i (my companion) were in a lesson and I was trying to say commitment. I could only think of the spanish so i would say despuis. (I dont think thats spelled right) and the investigator would look at me and say "Pagatapos". I would look at him and say yeah ok. so... despuis.. haha he would look at me again and say "Pagatapos". Oh yeah ok. so... pagatapos... haha my brain cant sort them out! It goes from spanish to tagalog to english. Pero... (but) the more that im here.. the more it has switched to just tagalog.
This week was a lot better than the last. I am feeling more comfortable with the language and with teaching. We were able to watch an Elder Eyring talk on Sunday and it was PINIKA THE BEST!! I have learned so much from the mtc and from teaching. I cannot believe how much I have changed over this short amount of time. I have learned so much as well. It hits me so hard (every hour) that I need to be more Christ like. I need to turn out to others even in my own sorrows so that I can help and comfort others. Christ taught by his example and that is exactly what I need to be doing. Teaching by example. By His example.
I have some exciting news! I have been called as the "coordinating sister" for those of you who dont know what that is (Im not sure I even know ;)) It is like a zone leader but for the sister missionaries!! (so I take care of the sisters and go to tons of meetings. To sum it up ;))
We actually get 3 new sisters bukas!! (tomorrow!) I am so excited to get to know them!
Roger and Shauna, you and your families are in my prayers and in the temple prayers. I heard that Grandma Rigby's funeral was very spiritual. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you guys. I, as well as Ryan. Have truly felt the truthfulness of the Plan of salvation. Something about teaching others just makes your testimony grow ten times more about whatever the subject may be. What a blessing it is to know that we have that promise. That we WILL see our families again. It is not goodbye. I love you all so much and I am so thankful for all of the prayers and support that I have received.
I am so blessed to have you all in my life and Im sorry the emails are short. Please give me your addresses so I can write you a real personal letter.
Dad, I need your address. Send me a letter so I have it!! Also, it does take a lot of pananampalataya to remember pananampalataya ;)
Oh, and the rumor is that we will be hearing from Elder Holland tonight! Pray that it's totoo!! (true)
Mahal Kita!!
Write me! :)

Mahal, Sister Merrill
