Mawage...Mawage is what WILL bring us togweda... Jan25

So yea...some of my most favorite Investigators, Sister Lourdes and Brother Benson, are getting married Saturday!! woooo PERO...transfer announcements are this week and Transfer day is Thursday...so lets pray I will be here in Guimba for one more transfer ay?! I'm so excited for them! I'm also really looking forward to the 14the of Feb. Sister Lourdes, Brother Benson, Sister Regine and Brother John Christopher are all getting baptized! I'm really happy for them. They find so much happiness and hope in the Gospel. I see so many miracles EVERYDAY here!

This week we had interviews with President Clark. It was so nice to be able to talk to him about how I am doing and about how my area is doing. There are so many missionaries here and yet he remembers things from my letters from a month ago! He is incredible. I've decided I'm never coming back...sorry :) Despite the bugs, scary drivers, and blackouts... it's so amazing here. the people are so great...the food is...well as you can all tell from my weight gain here...AMAZING.

I don't have too much to share this week...it went by so so fast! i can't believe i've already been here 4 months! It feels like maaaaybe 2 moths..maybe..more like 1. I'm done with training too..The language is coming slowly but surely. I can read Preach My Gospel in Tagalog and understand..it's mostly just hearing the natives speak quickly that gets me! haha OH yaa! To be more obedient to Follow up 200  (daily visits) we swapped one of our area's with the elders. it was really hard because I love everyone in that area so much! Pero i know that they are not only in the hands of the Elders meow..they are in the Hands of the Lord which is way better than anything I can do for them! Anyway...love and miss all of you! MAHAL KITA!

A recent convert went to bagio and brought us back peanut brittle, cute little change purses, ties for the elders, and STRAWBERRY JAM! Annnd they fed us! it was really yummy. the broth was made with the juice from the native chicken and ginger along with sayote. then there was peices of native chicken (way yummier than normal chicken) and sayote and some yummy green leaf thingy with ginger mixed in it...and of course, it's the Philippines, so RICE RICE AND MORE RICE....then they ask me why i'm getting chubby here...hmm

so those were just SOME of the mangoes...they are 45 a kilo...i asked him for 45 worth and he came out with 3 kilos with and wouldn't accept our money so i had to give it to his 3 yr old grandaught..so i got 3 kilos for only 50!! thats crazy..thats literally like a dollar fifty in american money...
