Two weeks into the MTCProvo

It's been two weeks at the MTC and life for me is starting to settle with regular routines and the like. We get to go to the temple every monday morning! It's been awsome. The Spirit is always around here at the MTC you can just feel it! Tagalog is coming around slowly, right now i can understand more then i can speak it, cuz my African words keep getting mixed up in it all. But i can greet, and ask about work and family ... sort of. I love my teachers the really push us to do our bests. Life's good i guess, i've been suffering from some allergies lately. Most of the cold weather is gone, today it was sunny and warm but last week it snowed... actully two days ago it snowed. The food here is good but i'm already getting sick of it, I'd preffer a sack meal of simple foods and some fruit but my companion , Sister Jensen, loves food and loves to go inside to eat. I see Cody almost everyday, and Sister Shuel, and on sundays and tuesdays i get to see Sister Patterson!!! Through the week we write notes and doodles to each other then on sunday we exchange them! It's fun and good practice. Well i'm out of time now, but till next time!!! Mahal kita! (Love you!)

First Ever

This is strange to me, i've never blogged before. I was inspired by my best friend Jessie Kate. I am going on my mission to Quezon City, Philippines! I'm very exited. I named this blog "My Next Big Adventure" because I am a strong beleiver in finding adventure where ever you are in life, also because i have already served two years in Zambia, Africa in the Peace Corps. Now i'm going on my church mission. My goal is to write every week but seeing as I've never been to the Philippines and don't know what the computer acess is like or if i'm even allowed i don't know if i can keep that goal but i will do my best. well here's to my first blog ever!!! -Sister Stephens
