That's so exciting! You...Hey there Kimberly! That's so exciting! You're going to the best mission in the world! (sorry, I haven't checked this since I got back). Man I miss it so much over there. President and Sister Jensen are amazing! You'll love them! Well that's awesome, I'm glad you found my blog and that it helped. Well, let's see if I can think of any good advice. First of all, I wouldn't get any super nice/pricy shoes - because once you get there, you'll discover that just about everyone just wears rubber shoes (like crocks, but they're dressy). They are usually pretty easy to find in malls or shoe shops. Secondly, I brought a huge raincoat thinking I would need it-- but never used it. So don't worry about that. As far as the language goes, start now :) any vocab you start learning will really help. Feel free to add me on facebook, and I'd be more than happy to answer any other questions you have! I'm under Rebecca-Alex Balinski. Good luck!! You're in for the best experience of your life!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336343206780507502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337371275800208194.post-87790687923514653792011-06-06T20:47:11.424-06:002011-06-06T20:47:11.424-06:00Sister Boekweg,
I have been called to serve as a M...Sister Boekweg,<br />I have been called to serve as a Missionary in the Baguio Philippines mission, I enter the Provo MTC on Sept 28th! I was trying to research the Philippines, I have found President and Sister Jensen's MIssion blog they keep updated, but I also ran across your blog too! I hope you don't think thats strange! haha I have really enjoyed reading your entries and can feel the spirit, and am even more enthused about going to Baguio!! I am so incredibly excited, but extremely nervous! I hope it's alright I commented on your blog, I just wasn't really sure how else to contact you! I am assuming you're home now, and just wanted to know if you had any advice or words of wisdom for me as I'm getting ready to head out!<br />Thanks so much for your spirit filled posts! They are much appreciated!<br />Love,<br />Kimberly AllenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
