Laoag: First Days

So basically, this email is just to give you an update and tell you that I am alive. We flew from Manila to Laoag and got here at about 1:00 or something I'd say. It's way more rural here than Manila which is preferable. Anyways, I'm alive. There was some debris and stuff from the typhoon and they said it hit this area really hard. Because of that, there isn't a lot of electricity or internet in a lot of areas. That being said, I'm not sure how soon I'll be able to email again. It is highly dependent on the area I get called I guess. Anyways, we got here to Laoag, rode with some AP's to the church, ate lunch with the mission president and the AP's, I rode a tricee (the trike things they pronounce it tri-see so I'm not exactly sure how to spell it) to the mission home which was kind of fun, we then had orientation and a little training, and some time today we'll be getting our new companions and heading off to our areas. I'm not exactly sure what's going on for sure, but I'm safe and everything is alright. Also this is just a funny side note, but apparently there is a militant group called the New Peoples Army that got an area closed or something which is kind of funny. I'm supposed to keep this email short, and it was just intended to be to family I guess, just a check up. Anyways, I'm doing good and love all of you.
