This is my first time in the Philippines and I absolutely love it!
After 20+ hours of travel and 3 different planes we finally made it to Manila and were greeted by our Philippines MTC President. On the way to the MTC it was really crazy and literally felt like I was in a real-life Mario Kart scenario. I got a bit car sick but I made it to our destination before my car sickness got worse. The first thing we did when we arrived to the Philippines MTC was EAT. I missed eating Filipino food so much and it was manamit gid! We ate bulalo and adobo, yummy. Then the next day we went proselyting in Metro Manila and it was awesome! The people here are just so sweet. As I assumed, people think I'm a native and speak to me super fast, pero it does help me just work harder with trying my best to converse with others. It's been amazing here, I love and food/pagkaon (salamat nanay for feeding me Filipino food growing up), people/mga tawo, kag the weather. I am in Manila right now but I will be flying to my actual location of where my mission is tomorrow late at night.
