Hey everyone,
1 week in counting! Holy cow this time has just flown by. We got our flight plans this last Thursday! I leave the MTC next Monday at 4:30 then I leave SLC airport at 8:25, fly to LAX then I have a layover there till like 1:30 in the morning. Then we get into Taipei Taiwan 14 hrs later. Then we have a 2 hr flight down to Manila, all in all we figure its about 23 hours of travel time, its gonna be a long day. Ha but it should be a fun one, I don't get to be Elder Perry's companion on that day so that kinda blows but I'll get over it.

I'm still a lil worried about the language, but all of our investigators in the Teaching Evaluations say that we are way good and ready to go but we'll see, I'm still figuring that I'll get off the plane and not have a clue what anyone's saying, oh well, I'll get the language down in about 3-6 months is what they say. Ha ha

This last couple weeks we have been hosting, thats when the new missionaries come into the MTC and you take em through the process of checking in and finding their room, and classroom, its fun to watch them. I'm glad I'm on this end of my MTC experience though. However, the MTC has been an amazing experience. I think I've got just a lil taste of what its like to be a General Authority in the sense that you have the spirit with you all the time. I love it.

Oh, its been funny to see people from Highland that I knew about 5 years ago here. They recognize me and a few of them I've recognized. It's been neat to catch up with old friends.
Well i gotta run, I love you all. Thank you for everything

Love,
Elder Chase
