Sooo going on my fourth week here in the Philippines. It doesnt rain as much as I thought it would. Its sooooo hot. So walking out to some houses is tough because they live so far. But its great. A Sister we're teaching told me I'm getting fat. All I eat are crackers and water so I dont know what she is talking about! We had a baptism on the 4th, Adonis who is 11, Sandre Lex is 10, and Shane is 8. They are sooo great! It has been so much fun teaching them, they really understand the gospel. People are so nice. I tried this really gross fruit called "santol" and its soooo SOUR! BUt the middle seeds are prettty sweet. I eat mango like EVERYDAY, its so good. We got a new sister in our house and she can cook really well. So we're all very excited to go shopping for food. YAY real authentic Filipino food! I really am going to get fat. I taught a lesson in almost all Hiligaynon, the only words I had trouble with were words like "for" "if" and what not. But its getting easier. 

I'm loving my mission~ Its so hot and great!

Love from the Philippines

Sister Martinez
