Sunday's are looong days. and fasting was rough. but it was great! we taught some good lessons and had a ton of people at church and the testimonies were really good! so that was awesome. ericson gets baptized on sat! we're so stoked. he's pretty much more solid than half the members already. we had some of the young men teach him with us and they were supposed to explain the Priesthood to him and it was a struggle lolz. but we got there in the end and now we are all a lil more informed and know that no you did not in fact receive the Priesthood when you were 8 right after you were baptized.
The other day a member told us that i look like im from the year 1823 and my comp looks chinese. sweet. two very specific observations. lolz.
We got our curfew extended for two nights a week till 9 to teach a super awesome investigator that doesn't get off work till 8. Pres. Sperry is super awesome we were like heeeey what do you want us to do here and he just looked at us and was like do whatever you need to do to teach him. just make sure you're safe. that's our number one priority. and we were like saweeet. we're totes safe, don't even worry about it! mostly we just didn't want to pass him off to the elders cuz we already started teaching him and are really excited cuz his wife is a member and his kids are all super legit and they all come to church every week and he's ready!! he knows its time!
Tatay rosete wasn't at church this week and we were like whaaaaaaaa the world is ending. where is tatay?!!? so we went to visit him and he was like in a ton of pain, it was awful, he said he feels like there is still air in his side? like under his right arm ish? idk what that means but i felt so bad for him.and he was still so sweet and setting out the chairs for us and everything. we were bummed though cuz that meant his son didn't come to church either. lame.
Transfer day isn't till jan 23 or 24th or something and i'll stay here with sister garcia cuz the training is two transfers and then i'll have a follow up trainer come here, so i'll be in valenzuela for at least 3 transfers! which is good, cuz the work is going great. im in the malanday ward ps in case you want to like find that on your lil mappy map :)
i'll get one new house mate cuz one sister is going home so that's probs good cuz she's mad trunky. the other week we helped a nanay do her laundry with the pretense that i needed to learn how to do it (mostly true) and it was super hilarious. cuz we we're in pros clothes and everything. she is the one that does the laundry for all the elders but we don't give her ours cuz she is so busy! and we can do it ourselves. its actually super cool, its kinda relaxing. it just takes forever. i did all my laundry on wed and it took like two hours. but its not bad at all, my hands are fine, no need for gloves or anything.
I don't even know what the temperature is here cuz even if they told me it would be in C and mean nothing to me. its pretty warm. most def not winter here. which is fine by me! im not missin provo winter right now that's for sure.
The elders are still so fascinated that my nose is tall and the other day one of the elders was like hey have you seen the hobbit poster at 7-11? (yes we have 7-11) and i was like uhhh no? and sabi niya oh well you have the same nose as everyone in the poster except the main hobbit. soooo now i have a hobbit nose? basta.
aight peace out! im good, im alive, "it's more fun in the philippines!" (that's like their tourist slogan or whatevs lolz)
loves, sister jonesy
