Pamilya ko!
I love ya. ha the noah thing actually made me laugh. because yes he
was guided and all but the part about raining forty days and nights...
rainy season is coming and apparently it does flood. ppppaaaarrrtaay! My
comps name is sister Gadiano. She's filipino funny patient and rocks.
Mom get better and try to walk the block it might help! at least id hope
it would. and this week was a little hard but I see miracles every
where.
ha last week after I sent you all the letter funny thing. Istart to feel sick. Soon ive got this burning fever and im bed ridden
and its like 85 degrees in our appartment and im wearing a sweatshirt
dress and sweats. I guess that was nice cuz I embraced the sweat. funny
thing is I actually sorta like the heat now. I go into the air
conditioned church and its cold. yay sweat! Im kinda struggling with the
language so keep the prayers coming. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT. gah its
like the most frustrating thing in the world to try to bear your heart
out and they don't get OR if they do and respond you just say ano(what?)
and they repeat their selves and you just stare at them... and stare...
and stare some more. hahah awwwkkward. so you look away. and act like
you never said anything. welcome to my life.
But at least the filipinos
still think im gorgeous. I love them. hahhahaa I seriously die. I get
cat called at so much and I just have to laugh cuz they're all so funny
and like 2 heads shorter :) kwento! so yesterday im walking past this
bar (i think and this older dude goes heeellllooo beautiful! (in
english) haha i just said hindi!!!! sister SSEEEESSSTTTTEEERR! :) he
goes oh. hellooo seeesster. do you see why i love these people? they are
so much fun. I say hello po to EVERYONE. its great. I'm no longer the
new white american because I walk down the same streets like 40 times a
day so they just smile now cuz they know a hello po is comiing. My
investigator we committed to baptism is named tatay abraham. He's like
59 and he's not doing well cuz he has an enlarged heart but ace (nephew)
and his sister nanay crisamel were recently baptized. When I bear my
testimony to him I can tell he really listens even though i can't
understand him. I don't know why but I can tell he really listens to my
words. He's such a sweet heart. we practically live at their house. ive
got to send you a picture. you wouldn't believe the building they live
by. ha the other day ace (he's 19 and we committed him to serving a
mission :) ) figured out how americans put an s on the end of things to
make it plural so he goes hello po's ingat po'sssss and then as we were
leaving he was getting pretty excited about it and he goes ingat
possssssssess SSSIISSSTTERRSSSEZZZSS hahaha I laughed so hard.
oh ps:
the eddingtons (older couple that lives right RIGHT next door, got their
house broken into and 2 computers a tablet and a cam corder stolen.
stupid head robber. and it was on Bro. Eddingtons birthday too!(sound
familiar dad?) these people gave us toilet paper and toothpaste on Sister Obras birthday and bought trick candles just to see her try to
blow them out for 10 minutes and they get it when I say old man status. They're so funny. and they got stolen from. the guy has said he was an
rm from manilla the night before when he was chilling inside our gate
and they asked who he was. creeper status. no worries we're getting
locks.
the work goes forth! we might challenge 2 or 3 people to baptism
this week if all goes well. man do I love Filipinos. I just WISH I could
understand them! pray for me still yes? Emily!!! I know how you feel I
had 36 bites on my legs before i figured out how great off is! they're
so itchy huh? can you all believe its been two months???? I feel like I
got dropped off last week. oh man. I miss ya'll. i got a titch
distracted thinking of ya'll this last week but im working on just
focusing on the work and not thinking of the pool and summer and such.
