Hey Grandma!
Everything is going great this week! The language is really starting to click. My teacher Sister Lillywhite is hard to understand but my other teacher Bro. Morrey is EXACTLY like me and he's really easy to understand when he speaks the language. Probably because he uses so much body language when he talks.
I'm definitely a long ways away from fluent but I just finally tacked down a method that works for me when learning new words. I have to teach the first lesson in all Cebuano tomorrow night and I'm terrified. I've watched the older Cebuano district when they did their teaching and it didn't go so great for them. But it got better over time so I'm not too worried.
...Give all the little kiddies hugs for me. Even Chloe. She'll accept it from you. Hahaha.
Something cool happened in the past couple of weeks. One of my buddies from an EFY three years ago came to the MTC and I was his zone leader! That was so awesome! He just headed out on Monday to the California Santa Rosa mission. His mission is the whole Northern Coast! Pretty sweet. But we became the best of friends and we're writing each other just really excited to hook up in Provo when I'm at BYU and he's at UVU. THey aren't joking when they say that the friends you make at EFY last forever. Hahaha.
I love you and grandpa so much! Take care!
Love Brandon.
