 Hey family!!!!  how is everyone this glorious morning????  I am doing great.

We ate country gravy with some white toast and it tasted so good.  We don't have an oven but we have a toaster oven. 

The other day we were walking in a part of town called Mabanogbog, say that five times fast, and we had a dog follow us for 20 minutes up and down the street.  It was acting like we were it's family or something. 

Some foods that I have eaten are: lumpia which is really really really good, homemade pancit, lechon, and buko salad which is a little interesting and the other day we ate tuyo.  It is small fish that is dried out in the sun and salted and I mean salted.  Then when you buy it you fry it in a pan with oil and of course eat it with rice. 

We got another investigator whose husband is a returned missionary so that is really good.  They have been reading the scriptures and preach my gospel.  She is a really nice lady and her sister we are also teaching.  They are expecting their 1st child.

Our apartment is on the way to the cemetery so at least once a week there is a funeral line going right by our apartment.  They are really long and normally have hundreds of people following the.  They also play music as they are walking. 

I am sooo excited to be here and for the coming weeks.  We have a couple IBD's to give out to people and we just can't hold it in.  I feel like a jack in the box person ready to pop at any minute.

We were walking trying to find a lady and we were standing outside her house thinking about where we should go next a little boy ask us what we were doing.  We said that we were looking for people to share our message.  He said "share" so we gave them a Book of Mormon and a pamphlet, we are going back later this week.

I love to hear from you every Monday.  I'm grateful that our family has stayed active in the church and that I have parents who support me and have allowed me to make my own choices.  This gospel has blessed my life so many times I can't even count.  Tell everyone HI

Mahal Kita Mahal Kita Mahal Kita Mahal Kita,
