High of 98 degrees :)

Wow! Already Pday again! The days are flying by..which is weird considering how long they are! This week has been full of miracles, disappointments, and learning experiences. So many people are progressing but it's so hard when they don't come to church!! But than a few people not coming to church, it has been a great week! We are working 3 investigators from the same family towards their baptism goal date of the 29th! They are all so great and willing to learn. The fact that everyone is very humble here makes it easy to teach them! 

I am so thankful for all the tender mercies I find through out each day. It's great seeking them out and really feeling taken care of by our Heavenly Father. 

So we unintentionally went to 2 filipino parties. One was supposed to be a lunch appointment and ended up being a baby's 1 month celebration...they seated us at a spot with a full set of dining supplies ( fork spoon cup etc) and got desert at the end just to find out that we were the only ones seated there who weren't the Godparents of the baby..haha they treat us so great here! and the food is so awesome! The other one was actually for a Nanay who was turning 99! She is adorable and still has a skip in step! 

I love trying to speak tagalog even though i'm not good. The kids i talk to will giggle and correct me, which is great, and ask me to talk more..while they try to reply sa english. It's fun:) This sunday was the primary presentation and it was precious. I loved it. They did it in english..Hymns here are sang sa english as well as a lot of the opening exercises of church meetings. 

The amount of water buffalo and goats here is incredible...i want a water buffalo now. 

 I love teaching families and children. They are so kind when it comes to me messing up and encourage me to keep trying. haha

The other day i helped teach quite a bit with quite a bit more help from my companion. She's really helpful..she's sort of my life line out here! 

Anyway..really wish i could add some photos but i don't have a cord or card reader! sorry! but for all the cold areas...Today's high is 98 degrees...:) some humidity and no wind...enjoy the cold! ;)

Love and miss all of you
