Hi everyone!~

This is going to be the last post from me directly because I am leaving for the MTC early tomorrow morning.
I'm going to do my best to try to correspond with everyone, but I have a limited amount of time to do so.  If you can find the time, please go ahead and send me an email at the address I gave on Facebook.  (You may want to wait two days or so which would give me time to set it all up.)

I also wanted to let everyone know that DearElder.com is a GREAT resource available to you.  By registering, you can write letters that will be delivered for free!  (Yay, no postage!)  But what I think is the best part of all, is that because the Philippines Tacloban mission uses a pouch service, you can send letters to me in the Philippines and its STILL free!

I bought a lot of EFY (Especially for Youth) songs earlier today because that's the only music I'm going to be listening to for 18 months besides the hymns, and I figure that I'll want as much of a variety as possible.  However, it's not like music will be playing 24/7, so just having something playing will be nice.

I was set apart as a missionary today at 5 o'clock.  It was really nice to have my family with me, and to hear the advice of my stake president.  One thing that he said was that junior companions have a responsibility to always support and give strength to their senior companion.  I had never really thought about it before, but it sounded like a very solid piece of advice.  I plan to adhere to it when I can.

I am a tad nervous about tomorrow, but most of that comes because I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing the first day.  Once I get the schedule down, it'll probably be easier to digest.

Farewell for now.  The next installment will be soon I hope. :)
