so basically my week was stellar. what's new. I love this
work. like nothing else. nothing makes me happier. Im just waiting for
the announcement where they say in general conference: so like the
scriptures we've decided to Let you go on a mission for 14 years... alma
the younger status. SIGN ME UP! jokelang but kinda serious.
There is SO
much work to do and nothing is more satisfying then seeing this ward
and all the people we know change. its awesome.It's really like Ike
said in an email one week. You understand everything one second and the
next its day gone again.
Soooo what to tell you about this week... there
was one man we contacted on the street. He is a tan taller version of
the old man on UP i kid you not. THEN he proceeds to tell us how his son
goes to University of the Philippines... UP college. oooohhh this is
too great. sometimes I have to learn to contain my excitment.
I feel
like Im finally starting to feel like I'm not in a dream. probably
because im starting to understand people. im in a time warp still
though. 3 months?? sayyyy whhhhaaaa??? nonoooonononononon No. ive got
work to do. time can't go by.
oh and heres the miracle of the week...
probably not what you were expecting but I now love doing wash by hand.
yes yes. i know pathetic thing to be happy about but it was my goal for
the week and you know what?? God help you achieve righteous goals so I changed my attitude and now its this glorious mindless work of squatting
and scrubbing. may i never be cured of this condition.
I've also
realized this week how selfish i am. forgive me friends and family. I'm
working on it. I will never be the same. I want to be a Filipino.
they're... so cool. you've got to experience this culture some time.
sorry this week was more boring then most letter wise. I'll go for some
cool stories this week. SO prepare for my next letter. its coming. and
as always pray for me :)
I LOOOOOVVVVEEE THIS WORK AND THESE PEOPLE AND
EVEN THE MOSQUITOS. joke. not the mosquitos. but really it rocks. and I love you all. i hope you had a happy 4th. you sound like youre killing
it in meets and everything else. mom I miss your letters. have someone
teach you how to email:) missionaries need members. true story.
