Can You Say Flight Plans!

WOW! 

So less than a week I am going to begin my flight home!! (my new home)

I cant believe it!! I am so excited, and nervous... 

Mostly because I don't know any the language!! At least it feels that way!! haha I hear I could get a native who wont speak English!! So that would be very interesting!! Ha this last week has just been busy busy cram cram... which... isn't helping me to memorize much!! But I am sure, once I am out there, it will all start to make sense after about two years!! haha just kidding. I am not super worried! I cant wait to go out and give some Filipino's what I have!! The Totoo (true) Gospel!!

 Man, I don't have really any time!! So much to do!! Got to start packing!!! Crazy!!

I love you all tons and tons!! Thanks for everything you do for me!! Sorry I cant get any pictures up this week!!

13 Days!

Wow time doesn't stop!!

 I cant believe that I fly out here in not to long!!! 

Things are going well here... But I think that the Philippines are calling my name... I can't wait to go!! Bless the MTC... But it gets kind of boring after 8 weeks!! hah. But lets see so last week we had Elder David Bednar! That was really awesome he taught us how to get more out of General Conference! Things are going well in the MTC, Learning a lot... and learning to love a lot, its awesome.

 I am thankful for the gospel and everything it has done in my life, cant wait to go teach it!! Its going to be so awesome!!! We were learning about teaching people, not lessons, the other day, and it just made me realize that memorized lessons wont teach people, but showing people that I actually care, and want to share what I have, that will teach better than being a scholar of everything about the church! 

Well not much time....again! ha

gotta go!! Here are some pictures of first the awesome awesome package that I got from Tairah!!! 

So NICE!! :) then Elder Park with super powers and Elder Lomu sleeping in the air!!! haha

Hey everyone!! So wow General Conference was so so awesome!! I am so happy too!! Now sisters can serve at 19!! An elder at 18!!! haha That's so awesome!! Now I am telling everyone that when I get home I am going to marry a RM (sister) for sure!! haha

Dahil (because) there will probably be so many more because of the age change!! And yeah there was so much awesome stuff at General Conference, but I don't have a lot of time as always, and assuming most of you watched it, then I won't elaborate on it too much other than It was really good!! So how is everyone doing!!?? Ash sent a bunch of pics of the kids, and that was awesome!! Morgan is getting so big!! Its crazy how fast time is really going... Soon I'll be in the Philippines~!! I cant wait! Other than I am not good at speaking in Tagalog!! But... it'll come... haha evenutally..!! 

Oh so on Sunday, we had Chad Lewis come speak to us (he some ex pro football player, who went so BYU) and he gave the best talk, about just giving it your all...actually it was more like a motivational speech!! haha but it was way good!! Everything is going good, although, I can't wait for the Philippines!!! That will be awesome!! Anyways write me!!! Love ya all!!

 

Love Elder Conrow!!

Can You Say 13 Pounds!?!

Kumusta po ang pamiliya/friends??

 Well another week down already!!  I don't know how but I have put on a lot of weight for the first time in my life!!! ha ha. It is so crazy how fast time is going by here!! I love it all!! 

We are learning so many great things here!! Including the few things I know about the language! ha ha. Lets see... so this last past week I've just been going through the routine!! 

Had some great talks on Sunday, and a great lesson about receiving revelation during church yesterday!! It made me realize how important church is and that we kind of just take it for granted some times, or think we need to go for just the sacrament... which is part of it, but not all of it!! It's where we are able to receive personal revelation. To not just feel the spirit, but be filled with the spirit.. and yes there is a difference!! So yeah that's my little spiritual thought of the week.

Anyway some of those awesome people that love me sent me some care packages that I am so appreciative of!! I don't have enough time to thank you on email, but expect some hand written love in the mail here in not to long!! :)  So lets see... um well I guess I can tell you about my Kasama.. he's a nice guy.... but being around someone 24/7... yeah... that's fun!! ha ha but he really is an awesome guy.. he's from alpine and hes a cool guy... anyways thats it!! nothing to crazy since i am still in the MTC!!!

Love ELder Conrow~!!! 

Almost A Month

ANO?? 

Well time is flying still soon I'll be in the Philippines and than I'll be home... that's what we all say at the MTC anyways haha!! So yeah not much really going on the Just the norm going to class all day everyday!! But its way... fun... haha but really its cool to learn a new language!!! but Insanely hard!! But we have a pretty cool district so we get together pretty well!! And we are always just having a good time trying to come up with riddles and games when have free time, or we will come with some lame jokes in Tagalog and yeah its pretty funny! haha but let's see so we have been also working with our "investigators" ( there like our teachers that we teach in Tagalog) so that's been fun and hard but it helps us get down the Language. anyways out of time so gotta go!! Seriously.... write me or there will be consequences! haha

Love Elder Conrow! 

Wow Almost Week Three!

Kumusta po ang pamiliya ko~!!!! How are ya all!! Well, how is everyone? 

Thanks for the letters I really appreciate that!! It makes life way better when i got stuff to read!! 

Anyhow so much has happened in the last week, I gave my first blessing to someone in my District, and it was a such an awesome experience! 

Yeah wow, this place is great, and so fun! But it requires a lot of hard work and a lot of focus, its all so worth it! 

The language is so so so hard, but I know if i do my best that I'll be blessed.

Let's see... so people come and volunteer at the MTC to be taught by missionaries in their language (Tagalog), and we teach them and it's fun!! 

It's such a great experience!!! But yeah so that was fun, then we practice in class and I got to do it ONCE in English and it was so cool, because we could feel the spirit way more! ha.

Also we got to listen to a talk by this guy name Tracy, who talked about the Book of Mormon play. He showed us a clip... and it totally makes fun of Mormons, but he said its okay, because we fought back with some awesome ads he showed us that really got the word around about Mormon's!! 

You should Google "I am Mormon ads in New York", I am sure you'd get some awesome results!!! Its really amazing how it all works out!  I am a way slow typer ha ha!! If you hand-wirite me a letter I can hand-write back!! I have plenty of time for that!!!

Well love ya'll tons!!!

Six Days In The MTC!

Ha Well its almost been one WEEK!! 

Crazy... right!! haha anyways so yeah this place is awesome!! 

Food is good and plenty sleep is few and little and I love everyone in my district!! I really have an amazing district!! I love all of them like crazy... even my comp!! But me and him go together really well. He's kinda Like really anal about things, but he is an awesome kid! he really knows whats up and I don't think I could ask for a better comp!   And yeah back to life here in the MTC... so were obviously learning Tagalog, and I mean its quick!! Because they just pretty much throw you under the bus, and than they give you "investigator" and you have to teach them, in your mission language!! haha so we are teaching sister Zaballa, and she is a toughie, but were getting to her!! So we taught her our 3rd lesson yesterday, and so the goal in our district has been for her to pray, and well me and my comp were the only ones to get her to pray, probably because I taught her!! haha It was so awesome!! Oh and tell the girls hi and i love them and their cuteness!! haha I bet there prayers are awesome!! haha

 And tell PEOPLE on FB to right me!!

 Oh and tell Dave that he is my favorite right now, because he sent me some donuts! and no one else has done a thing!! haha any ways just let me know if you need anything else from me!!! 

Love Elder Conrow
