Hey guys thanks for the mail that you guys sent me it was so cool to hear from you guys the MTC is awesome the very first day we walked into the room the teacher completely immersed us in the Tagalog language. Its been a tough language so far but were all gettin the hang of it. I love my companions they are so cool we have a bunch of people from around the world in our district. My companion was Elder Dalisay he was from Honolulu, Hawaii he was really cool he is the first of his family to go he knows already how to speak Tagalog, because he was born in Quezon City, Philippines then moved to Honolulu when he was 2. He is no longer my companion though since he knows the Tagalog language very well our mission president sent him to an English speaking zone to get to know Preach My Gospel more. So jus like Christiaan and Tanner I am now also in a 3 some companionship. My new companions were the other elders that were in the same room as us. Elder McDonald is from Payson, Utah and is a really funny guy and he knows how to play a mean soccer game. He actually has a twin brother who is also in our zone, but is not goin to Quezon City he is headed to Luag. Elder Stallings, my other companion, is from Atlanta, Georgia he is a very funny person and can rap better than any other white guy i know. In our zone we have Elder Sione who is from Wellington, New Zealand, Elder Parker, whos from St. George, Utah, Elder Brown from Highland, Utah, and Elder McDonald's twin brother who is also from Payson, Utah. I love my zone we all get along very well and I am so glad that im with them. I have seen so many people from Mountain View its ridiculous. I have actually made contact with Christiaan and Tanner. Tanner is actually in the same building and same floor as me so I see him alot. On Sunday we are all goin to take a picture and I will send it to you guys as quickly as possible. I know this is where I am supposed to be and that what I do here will reflect on how I do on my mission. I cant be more excited to serve the people in Quezon City, Philippines they are some of the most loving people on this earth. I know this gospel is true and that Jesus Christ really was our Savior and that he really died for us. Thomas S. Monson really is a true prophet and Joseph Smith really did translate the Book of Mormon through the Holy Ghost. I love you guys and I expect to hear from you guys soon.
Salamut ,
Elder Jordan Scott Thompson
