Well it's only been a couple days so not too much
this week. Plus the weeks are starting to blend together so it's hard
to think of what's been going on. Hope conference was good. We're
watching it at our stake center this weekend.
Yeah I bought a flash drive so i can copy
pictures before I try to send some home so I won't loose any. I'll send
pictures home next week for sure. aight?
Hmm.. what're some of the highlights this week?... My
companion and I are working hard so we can get some baptisms goin. We've
got 8 investigators with bap dates coming up so should be good! The
whole marriage ish in the Pinas is killin us though. You have to wait
forever for paperwork and everything so a lot of our investigators are
just waiting on that. We've been teaching the Calugas family a lot
lately. 3 times a week. They're seriously the golden family everyone
wants. I'm excited to have my first family baptism soon.
Today was way sick. We went bowling just barely.
Everything here is super ghetto, but the malls and stuff are way nice.
nicer than utah. But I felt right at home today. At the bowling ally
they were playing DragonBall Z on the TV's and playing american music,
LMFAO and stuff. Ha and people say you can't do stuff on missions. Plus
karaoke is huge here. Our neighbors have allnighter parties a lot so I
hear Call Me Maybe and everything soooo much. ha love it.
It's sick here. You feel like a celebrity walking down
the streets. Everyone, without fail, everyone says "Hey Joe", "Whass
your name" or "Ano height mo"(what's your height) or they just sing the
song Call Me Maybe to you. Yeah whoever said the Philippines would be a
humbling experienced... yeah that's a lie. Ha I'll probably get even
more cocky from all the attention I get here. I finally got proposed to
the other day. Some girls were following us around the other day and one
for me asked me to write her and marry her. Whelp, bought time. I mean
I've been here for almost 3 weeks now. haha
Oh something weird. My companion and I were giving a
couple blessings to this less active family and I gave one to this guy.
When I was giving the blessing, he passed out and then woke up all
sweaty and stuff when I said amen. Either it was really powerful or I'm
just super boring when I talk.
Well everythings going good. Still don't really
understand anyone. Even if they speak English. It all sounds the same
here. But it's gettin better.. Fast Sunday was yesterday and I was dying
while we were walking around at like 6 pm on an empty stomach. Then we
had 3 different dinners with different families after that and I was so
full. Guess that's what I get for complaining. Some of the food is way
good here. Just rice with different toppings called ulams. Uh although
spaghetti here kills me. It's just tomato sauce with hot dogs for the
meat.
Eh well that's all for now.
Love ya guys!!
