We're going to the Philippines!!!!! Camusta!

So I am basically addicted to adding things onto this blog even though I don't think anyone reads it yet. So I'm thinking of all the cool things that are going on in our lives. The most exciting thing that is going on right now is that we are taking a two week trip to visit Sam's mission in the Philippines in September. We are soooo excited to go and I think it will be really cool to see where he served. Sam is trying to teach me the language-it's Tagalog and basically sounds like jibberish. So far I know how to say the following:
1. I can't drink the water because I will get diarrhia
2. Where are you going?
3. My name is Marielle
4. How much is this/that?
5. I like this food because it's delicious

So basically I know everything I will need to use while I'm there. I think that #1 is going to be the most important thing to know- we don't want to ruin our trip with the runs. Just being honest. We still have to get some shots before we go- Marielle has to get ELEVEN shots and Sam only has to get a few. Not looking forward to that. So far I know that it's a 23 hour long flight and that hotel rooms aren't priced according to how big they are, they are priced according to if there is a ceiling fan or air conditioning. I am really excited to go and we'll keep whoever is reading this updated as we plan our trip!

It's Kamusta! Remember, there are no C's in Tagalog.
