Phil is still in the Dominican Republic MTC--he's got about a week and a half left.
From his October 14th email...
"Some way or another, even though I can't communicate too well, I've gotten all the janitors and maintenance guys to love me. Everyone except the cooks. You should see the look of dissapointment on their face when I say "No habichuelas hoy." No beans today. I don't know if I have told you guys about it yet, but the fruit here is to die for. The pineapple here is unreal. And mom, a couple times a week we get papaya too. My abdominal system has never been running smoother. On the subject of food, my big accomplishment for the past couple of weeks is this: I have gotten used to the milk. I came here expecting no cold cereal for the next 2 years. After 1 week I couldn't take it anymore, so I ate a bowl of corn flakes without slurping the milk. Now, I'm banging out 2-3 bowls of cereal every morning, downing that milk like it's nothing. I have hope for the next 2 years."
