Kain Kayo!

Hey everyone! Another week another baptismal date haha! or 5! well this week has been a really interesting week haha! 

On Tuesday we went to district council and met all of the new elders and it was nice to meet all of them! one is a poly from Herriman Utah ( where I live) but I don't know him haha he's pretty shy it seems but seems like he will be a good missionary! Then later in the day we went to Jordan and taught people there and we were at a members house and he decided that he wanted to make food for us so we waited there while he cooked playing with his son and then when we went to eat he sets this giant plate full of rice for everyone (naturally because rice is life) and as I'm scooping some on to my plate I see something moving in it and it's an ANT well I figure it's ok probably just that one right....right? nope.... There were ANTS ALL OVER!!! So I got a big scoop of meats and veggies and in my head I just said "sometimes in life you just have to eat the ants" so I ate that entire plate of ricey ants and then when I finished Tatay Ruben looks at me and say "Kain kayo! kain kayo" which means eat you eat you, so I got another big scoop of rice, yum, and then more meat and I just didn't look to closely at the food haha the good news is that ants don't taste like anything haha!

The next day I had exchanges with Elder Clarke and it was so much fun he is one of the other elders that lives in my apartment with me and me and him are tropas! so it was a good day and I always learn so much from him! I also realized that I can now teach lesson 1 in Tagalog so that had been really cool! haha its nice to be able to help my companion more now!

On Thursday we had interviews with president and his wife and I love them so much they remind me of my family! its amazing! and then because my companion is district leader we had an interview for a baptism and then after that we walked like 5 miles to get to a house and then to get home was like 2 miles so that was a fun day of walking haha

Then on Friday we went out to Santa Cruise and taught a family and group of friends who were already our investigator but they have so many kids and they are all girls and its so funny because one of the moms was like telling all her girls to come in and listen to our lesson because I was so handsome and then all the girls there and the older ladies we just telling me I'm so handsome which is pretty awkward because like what do you do haha i just sat there and said thank you and then a Tay came in and he even called me handsome and that was super funny haha we all laughed, its funny because they think I understand like nothing but I can understand a lot of what they say so its funny to hear them talk about me haha, 5 of them now have baptism dates and hopefully more this next week!!

The rest of the week was pretty basic but we did have a baptism on Saturday so that was fun! it wasn't in our area but it was still fun!! 

My spiritual thought this week goes back to the ants and that sometimes in life you just have to eat the ants and keep going forward because eventually one day there will be leachon and you will be happy so always remember to read the book of Mormon and pray always! love you all!! Hope you all have a great week! love you all! 

mahal kita!
