week 6

Kumusta po kayo pamilya ko!

So! I'll start off by answering questions first that I've been meaning to.

1. I don't think Brandon could send a book, because there's only a very limited amount of stuff we're allowed to be reading- and even besides that I would have absolutely no time to read.. ha. My study time is literally packed as it is, and with only 3 weeks left I'm pushing as much Tagalog as I can. I use all my personal study every day (only an hour) to study the Book of Mormon, and then the rest of the day is for vocab and other Tagalog stuff. I'm only in Alma 12, too, so it takes me forever to get a chapter now.. ha. due to hi-lighting, rereading, and recording a study journal. So thank you, Brandon, for the thought but like I said before- just kindly put a stack of my presents in a corner of my room and I'll delightfully sort through them in about 23 months.
2. That's good news on the Rexburg package, even if it did take so long. I just checked the mail again for a package slip, because I didn't want to write home today saying that I didn't have it if it was just waiting in the mail room over the weekend. So I'm glad to hear that, and I have 5 short sleeve shirts- which is all I wear- so that has been enough. Honestly though, I hate wearing long sleeve shirts now.. short sleeve feels so much more natural. Also a suit feels like normal clothes now, and wearing regular pants is strange.. hahaha.
3. Thank you so much for all the packages.. everything is awesome. I'll send home some pictures of our Christmas Room sometime soon, I've been stoked about at least feeling like it's christmas. Also all the clothes have kept me very warm, but it's been like warmish over the past few days so all the snow has melted.. aha. Utah weather is silly.
4. Contacts- yes you can order some more. I just put it in the other day, and it works fine so thank you! But I'd try and get em here before I leave...
5. Speaking of that- presents. I really don't want anything.. I can't think of anything I need/want/could use.. haha. Another pair of glasses? That'd be really cool if you could, but again they'd probably have to get here before I leave. And anything you guys send to me, please get it in before like the 20th. Because the mail room is going to be under fire those last few days I'm here, and I won't have the ability to send anything back before I leave. So please, please, please get any packages or letters from anyone here before the 20th. I don't want mail arriving here after I leave, ha.
6. Tell Brandon- if he doesn't read this- to make a list of movies for me to watch over the next 2 years. Also tell him to send me any Apple news he gets. Whenever. Just because I'm disconnected doesn't mean I'm not still interested.
7. I think that was all you questions? One second, I'll chec
