P-day outing to the Quarry and a short, but inspiring Story. [8 months out!]

Sisters in Sarah's district went on an outing to a quarry for their P-day.

one of those last ones of the dude standing in the river btw was of a construction company getting water for the construction site. the one dude just stood in the water and they threw a bucket back and forth until the truck was all filled up!

The people here are amazing! and soo hilarious. i love them all!! we're teaching this one lady (rose) and last night she was telling us her life story. it was crazy. her mom is muslim and her dad is... not. (i don't remember what she said her dad is...) but they are from mindanao (the super scary sketch part of the philippines) and by the time she was like 7 both her parents died so she went to live with her mom's sister and then like within a year she died as well. and her mom's sister's husband was like abusive and stuff so she peaced out and was on her own!!! as a lil girl! then she tried to get a job at a factory but they wouldn't hire her because she was too young. so she worked cleaning the streets. but she was so small she couldn't sweep with one hand like everyone else. she had to use two hands! which makes it was harder apparently.... and she would get so tired she would just cry. while she was cleaning the streets. 

And then she was like but even though i grew up with no parents, look at me now! she's educated and has a profession and a family and she's a great person! it was really impressive. pretty much tripled the already tons of respect i have for her. she said she still get sad though that she doesn't have family close by and that her parents are dead. then she looks at her son and she's happy again! (she's hilarious, i kid you not) it was so precious though. cuz that's way true. she is sooo loving!!
