"Another week at the MTC has past, and in ten days district 16b will take off from the Salt Lake airport to Portland, and then from Portland to the land of Tokyo. Then from Tokyo to the Philippines.
Mom and Dad I know things are going to be a lot different then they are here, and I can't tell you exactly how I'll react to them, but one' things for sure its not going to be easy. Maybe some people might be afraid to fly out to the other side of the world, and it would be a lie to tell you that I'm not nervous, because I am a little nervous, but I'm not afraid.
I've heard that missionaries can call there families from the airport so I'll let you know when I find out more about that. If I can call it will be between 5:00 A.M. and 8:00 A.M.
Thanks for sending letters its always great to get mail. Tell Andy to keep running, it's cool that he's doing Cross Country, my best high school memories come from cross county meets, football games and bon fires, so don't miss out on them. The bon fire is right before the Homecoming game they might of already had it, Andy will know about it for sure. One other thing, you know that when you loose your lunch at the end of a race you gave it your all. I hope you have fun with cross country Andy and keep getting better at it, give the team a hello for me.
I hope everything else is going good at home. Its great to hear about people getting mission calls, so let me know when they do. Sorry I don't have much to write, this week the weeks go so fast and then you can hardly remember whats happened. If you have time you should watch the Mormon message called "The voice of the spirit." One thing is for sure without we can't do much.
On Thursday of this week our district tried out for a musical number, they have one at every devotional, we tried out in front of the MTC presidents wife which was interesting, I played the piano, a sister played violin and a few others sang, its a great song, called Savor redeemer. They already had a musical number for this Sunday but not for the next, so we might be playing then. I forgot how much I like playing the piano, its a lot of fun.
The real works about to come. The MTC is pretty easy, but in ten days we'll be in the Philippines. I love being a missionary, there's no greater opportunity or responsibility, keep letting me know whats going on at home. I really like to hear about what each of you are doing. Thanks again for the time you take to write me."

Here is the voice of the spirit video Corey was talking about. It is so true that "without (it) we can't do much" The spirit tells us so much in our lives and is something that we can always count on and cling too. I know that throughout my life it has been one of the few stable things that has kept me going and focused on what is important. I know that Corey has learned so much about the spirit. He know that the spirit is the teacher in all things and I know that he will trust it in all that he does.
