hi
The MTC is pretty good.
All of the senior batch of language
training missionaries, and all the Filipinos are gone, because they completed
their training, so at the moment there is about 20ish missionaries in the
whole MTC, down from the 100+ it was before. But that's good, because it means
I'm no longer in the baby batch, it also means that my super messy room mates
(we scored a -2 on the room cleanliness) are all gone,.....
Shopping in Manila was pretty good, every P'day we get to go
to Rustins (grocery store) and buy whatever we want/need. I bought a heap of
Tang, its a cordial powder that's pretty popular here, I bought enough to last
me the week, so later today i plan on going and buying some more, and a new
drink bottle, because the MTC gives you a ... a water bottle with a filter
and stuff in it, that's made to be used in the field, so you can have clean
water anytime. So mine doesn't get ruined I'm going to buy a new bottle today. When I'm going to buy stuff, i keep looking at it like wow that's expensive, but then ... 1 AUD is worth about 45 Peso so really everything is really
cheap....
Training is going alright, I'm not the fastest progressing
person in my district .... but its not about comparing. I
can understand a conversation in Tagalog but replying is hard, because their sentence structure goes like: Verb, Actor, Object, Location, and then there's
focus markers, respect markers, and non-focus markers, and/or a question marker
that go in between all of the words. MTC is good though......
