Kumusta pamilya nako!! Kumusta ang inyong mga kinabuhi??
Another semana has come and gone! I can't believe how fast time is
going by. Craziness! Life in the MTC is great. I may be going crazy, but
that's okay!
Plasensya ko (I'm sorry) if these emails are boring. Basically the
same things happen in the MTC: sleep, sit, study, eat, repeat. I am
super anxious to get out into the field and move my body! Let's
see...what happened this week. Being stuck here in the MTC it's hard to
believe that I'll ever be out of here. I feel like I'm going to be here
for a while and then go home. It's weird to think I'm actually going to
the Philippines. Yesterday as I was reading my scriptures, I got SO
excited to be a missionary. Studying a crazy language and being stuck in
a room has not been the most exciting thing ever. But let me tell you
what. I am going to be a MISSIONARY (I know I am now...but it's
different) and I know it's going to be so hard pero lalaki o lalaki (boy
oh boy) excited ko!!!
The new Cebuano district got here last Wednesday...which means I
have little time left here at the MTC. It's fun to watch them learn and
remember how I couldn't even pronounce most of the words when I got
here. It's been great for our district as well. I've seen the elders
really step up. Being in my district has definitely been a learning
experience for me and I am so grateful for everything I've learned. On
Sunday we had a fireside about becoming the kind of missionary we want
to become. I made a list and I want to be SO much. But most of all I
want to be the loving missionary. I still have so much to learn
especially about pushing myself away in order to really love those I
serve and work with. Being here at the MTC has taught me that in every
problem the solution is love. It may take a while to love that one
person who drives you crazy, but if you develop love for them your
perception of them will change. In real life I was always able to avoid
somebody I didn't necessarily care for but here at the MTC I've had to
learn to love them instead. I hope that I will choose to love more
openly in these next 16ish months and when I come home.
Tomorrow we will be hosting the new missionaries. I am so excited. I
remember how strange it is to be dropped off on the curb of the MTC. It
will be fun to welcome in the new missionaries. I will get to help take
them to their residence, get their books, and then take them to their
classroom. Pretty fun stuff.
It sounds like everyone is doing great....but I haven't heard from
Nate and Megan in a couple of weeks....so I hope you are alive! I always
think of all of you...how was I so blessed to be part of the Trayner
family??
Okay well you will only be getting one more email from me!!! I
leave on March 13th....in the evening....(pretty sure at least) ok so
maybe you'll get 2 more emails. And I have Mom and Dad's numbers, and
Rachel's and Josh's, Nate if you want me to try to call you before I
leave, send me your digits.
Also, we're having an "english fast" this whole week. Which means walay ingles!!! So keep me in your prayers.
Well, naghunahuna ko nga pinakamaayo kamo. I think you're all great.
Nasayud ko nga manluluwas si Jesukristo. Nasayud ko nga si
Jesukristo miantus para kanato tungod nahigugma siya kanato. Nasayud ko
nga makadawat kita kapasayloan para atong mga sala. Nasayud ko nga
makatubag ang Dios sa atong mga pagampo. Importante ang pagampo! Pinaggi
pagampo, makakaplag kita sa kalipay ug kalinaw para atong mga kinabuhi.
This Church is true. Kining sibmahan mao ang tinuod!
Nahigugma ko kanamo!! I love y'all!!! Have a great week!!! Maayo semana!
Sister Nicole Trayner
