PHILIPPINES!!!!

WHOA!  WHOA WHOA!  Wow, I have hardly any words to express this experience!  First off, I only have ten minutes!  So, here we go!  Planes are CRAZY!  Love them!  Except not at night cuz I can't see anything outside!  We skipped tuesday completely and only flew at night so we saw no sun FOREVER, how depressing!  Anyway, it took forever to finally get here!  It is 430 pm on wednesday right now.  Crazy.  So we are at the mission home and I love it so much!  We finished an orientation and I can tell that I am going to love him and his wife!  He wants us to thank you and dad for everything and letting me come here.  So crazy, the very first thing he says to me when i get off the bus was that he already has an assignment for me- TO HELP THE NURSE.  Oh gee....not sure about how well that will go!  I'm telling you, they really do expect you to dive in with BOTH feet!  Then when we started the orientation, they announced I would be playing the piano...they didn't even ask!  Sheesh, I'm telling you...I don't know but it sure seems people in my life are really trying to help me spread my wings and reach my full potential.  It hurts to stretch (especially how I failed miserably at the song...) but I know it is good for me.  I am in the Lord's hands, and I know He is preparing me for something big in my life.  Anyway, PHILIPPINES IS WONDERFUL!  Wow, I love the people.  How crazy it is to be the minority.  Not only does my race cause me to stick out, but I am in nice clothes with a badge on...yeah, people are always watching you.   My time is almost up!  But I arrived safely!  I love it!  I"m terrified, but COMMITTED.  I realized that they taught me a different language sa MTC...  crazy.  Everything is crazy!!  It's crazy to see the living circumstances here.  I am really looking forward to loving these people and helping them come unto Christ-they are wonderful people.  Also, in the middle of our email time, our mission pres told us to run outside to see a performance that the kids were putting on!  So cool!  What an amazing culture this is.  I'm in for the time of my life-but the thing is, that I know it isn't my time.  This time isn't about me.  This is the Lord's time.  I am giving myself to Him for this year and a half.  Whenever I may write something that doubts that in the next few months...remind me that I said this!  Because I know it is true!  God has prepared certain people to receive the Gospel, and I know He will lead me to them! Mahal Kita! Love, Sister Wright
