Kumusta Po Kayo lahat!
Philippines is Maganda Na Maganda deba?
I LOVE IT HERE! The flight well lets not talk about the
flight it was nearly 32 hours of strait constant craziness
and I'd rather forget it. Highlight though was that the
gate we had in Taiwan was Hello Kitty, we thought at
first it was a hello kitty shop and then we figured
out that nope that was our gate! Grabi talaga! First
I know your all dying to know where I am even though
even when I tell you you still wouldn't know exactly
where because the Philippines is crazy and the first
thing I've learned is that no body has an exact
address here its grabi! I have been assigned to the
Tarlac 1st ward here in Tarlac City. Their are three
cities in our mission and I was really hoping to get
assigned to one so swertey talaga. My trainer Sister
Tablang is Mabait na Mabait. She's SUPER NICE enough
said! I really have felt nothing but blessed lucky
and enjoying myself since i got here, sure its a
third world country the toilet has no seat and it
feels like camping in the muggiest desert you've ever
experience but I'm loving it all! Our Bishop
(Alverez Mericado) owns a bakery and they make the most
Divine Bread! Although I'm trying to branch out I've
even tried the fish. I ate part of a maaking fish
yesterday and even tried some gill it asked a bit
like a chip. I will
try to attach some pictures hoping that my mother
can post them in here for you all to see. I really
LOVE teaching I can't say that enough . Its the time
where I know the most Tagolog and am able to say the
most so its the best. Tracting is great too so
unintimidating because usually there isn't even a door
to be slammed in your face, not that they would their
so nice the WHOLE family gathers round and yesterday
I taught about the history of the book of Mormon with
the CUTEST baby ever Pinka cute she was and sat their
right in my lap not a cry or a sound the whole time.
We've already had our ward Christmas party which was
amazing all the children got up and did a hilarious
dance to a popular pop song here " I want nobody but
you' I believe it's called. I just about died laughing
thinking Christmas nativity eat our heart out, and then
they did an egg race but with limes instead of eggs.
OH! we have had a Baptism already! Crazy hu? It was
on Friday and I got to go to the investigators house
the day before hand and teach about how to bear your
testimony good since its about the only thing i know
how to do. We baptised two teenage boys. Luis (12) and
Charles (17)Espinosa. They are amazing. Well really all
of our investigators are amazing. We are teaching a
wonderful old man Tatay Romeo who is like 70 something
and was first tracted to in 1986 abut now having come
back into contact with the missionaries he has a baptismal
date Jan 8 that he is working towards. I should probably
say something about How many insanely cute children their
are here! OH MY GOODNESS. If I get out of here without
steeling one it will literally be a miracle. These people
are so humble I really cannot say it enough. They live in
dumps along the side of the road but still have a smile
on their face constantly. Please keep this in mind
during your holiday season ( oh yea its Christmas soon),
not to be a downer or anything but just so you know
while you are upset over your burnt roast. There is a
Filipino somewhere who got a stale slice of bread and
is happy as a clam! I know that happy as the Filipino's
are the gospel of Jesus Christ can and is blessing their
lives and I desire nothing more than to continue spending
every waking breath bringing it to them. I love you ALl
