Heres an update for the homies
Mauri!
ITs SO HOT! I've been showering like 3 times a day hehee..
Anyway, our area is split and we're starting to get
the hang of it. The problem is my area is a little sketchy and we're
always left hanging. So we do a ton of finding and oym'ing. Its a ton of
fun. There were elders here a few years ago and they seem to have
visited everyone! Most of the people we find were previously taught so
they already have a background on the church which is cool. We found a
less active who was baptized when she was 9 and hasnt gone to church
since and she was soooo happy to see us. She really wants to come to
church. I thought that was pretty cool. Even how many years after she
still remembers the good feelings and wants that again and she knows she
can get it through the gospel.
We had a really great service day with our whole
zone. We went to an area called Punta Taytay. The beaches here in
Bacolod are suuuuper nasty. The ocean is the peoples backyard so they
just throw all of their rubbish and we dug through at least a foot of
rubbish. We had so many garbage bags full! I wish I had taken a picture,
and we only cleaned up a small area. SO crazy. So, just dont litter
kay? :)
We had exchanges and I was with a sister Davis whos
been here for like 3 weeks. Shes such a sweetheart and it was so funny
seeing the reactions of the Filipinos to her blond hair and blue eyes.
They were a little confused why if she's american and I am too, and why
we look so different hehee. I had to speak mostly English and we did
some practice teaching in English and it was so hard! Its so difficult
to express myself and explain and give examples.
We have a zone activity later on today which should
be fun. The Sinemas are so great! I love senior couples. OUr Kiribati
sisters taught us one of their traditional dances and its sooo fun but
ahhh, sakit! it hurts to sit and the arm movements ay, my arms are
sore;)) But its so fun. I'm so going to get into this stuff, its a
workout and so fun. We're going to perform at our zone activity hehee.
Nothing much else going on in Magsungay. I'm so
excited for Claudias wedding and so proud of ALe's graduation. My mom
was called to be Relief Society President and Diego is bringing home
medals everyday from swimming and art and math competitions. Show off;)
My grandmother is pretty sick so any prayers for her would surly be
appreciated. I was told she might not make it before the time I get
back. Its so weird that such an important person might be gone when I
get home. Cge lang, plan of happiness no?
I love you all and miss you dear friends and family.
Palangga ko kamo<3
