Hey everyone! it's finally here, my last email at the MTC. I hope everyone is doing awesome, unfortunately I don't have a lot to talk about this week but it's still something.

Had somewhat of an interesting day. Took a visit to the BYU Creamery and it was pretty neat, the prices are absolutely outrageous. $4.00 for a bag of Doritos, like come on haha. I believe I only have 11 more days at the MTC, me and my district are expecting for a departure itinerary soon. Me and my companions had an Online TRC, so we gotta talk and teach someone from the Philippines. It was awesome getting to know them and learning about their story. Before we went to the TRC session though, we were studying and preparing for the TRC in the S2 building which happens to have a creepy elevator. Like it was making weird noises and the doors opened all on it's own.

Nothing really happened today but did listen to a talk by Thomas S. Monson called "Finishers Wanted". It was really inspirational and I recommend it to anyone.
[ Sunday, November 17, 2019 - Day 33 ]
Me and my companions gave a lesson in Priesthood about the Gospel of Jesus Christ also heard a talk by Boyd K. Packer called "20 Dollar Mark", I thought it went pretty well. Tonights devotional was awesome, we had the opportunity to listen to Jenny Oaks Baker. It was literally a concert and of course we got front seats. She is a professional violinist and her and her family played a ton of different songs while talking in between.

Got my departure information and I officially leave Monday, November 25th! I checkout at 11:00 AM and the train departs to the Salt Lake City Airport at 12:17 PM. I leave from the airport at 5:05 PM and arrive in San Francisco, CA at 6:10 PM. Then we have a massive layover for about five hours. I leave the San Francisco Airport at 11:30 PM and arrive in Seoul, Korea at 5:30 AM. Then finally, leave Korea at 7:45 AM and arrive in Manila, Philippines by 11:00 AM. At this point, with all the time changes. It will be November 27th. I feel like it is going to be quite an adjustment. Random sidenote, got a fortune cookie at lunch and I liked it. It said: "If you have no critics, you'll likely have no success".

Nothing happened today but did play a decent game of sand Volleyball.
[ Wednesday, November 20, 2019 - Day 36 ]
It decided to rain today and it smelled so good. For our last service assignment at the MTC, we got to mop some bathrooms. Nothing happened but played a really intense game of Four Square with the Russians, it had to be the best game of Four Square I have ever played.
[ Thursday, November 21, 2019 - Day 37 ]
More rain today, unfortunately no snow. I keep hearing that it might snow the day I leave the MTC. I am so excited to leave here and be out in the field. I have learned more here at the MTC than my 19 years of being alive I swear haha.
[ Closing ]

Just a warning, I might not be able to update next week so if you don't see a new email, don't be alarmed. Once again, thank you for the email's. I'm still trying to catch up responding to all of them. Thank you everyone, this adventure is just beginning. I miss you all. I didn't really have time to take any pictures but I have a few. Take care everyone. Can't wait for next week's update though!
