Hello family!!
I am so sad I didn't get to write you all because of bad connection last week, but I am glad to be able to now! Before I forget, you asked about what I might need.. so I actually have a few things.
Ziplock bags.Haha
Batteries! The filipino ones don't work in my camera! It's really a bummer!
smores poptarts
wax strips.. (so awkward but shaving your legs is the worst)
capris! Going to the beach on pday in my black skinny jeans isn't really my fav. Maybe just a loose pair that you don't want
That's all I can think of at this exact moment but there's probably something really important that I am forgetting. Thank you so much for thinking of me and please don't make it too expensive after all the bathroom stuff.
So! This week I got dengue. It's a disease from my little friends the mosquitos. So I got to lay in bed all week with a fever. Super fun! Haha at least all the Filipinos are telling me I lost weight from not eating all week.. Haha yeah I know. Don't worry, Mom. I am fully hungry and fever free now. Oh and also, yesterday, a hermit crab made friends with my finger very forcefully. Nature hates me. Hahaha. It's okay! I am tough.
Dad, you would love the Philippines because it's like camping every day. Mom, you would hate the Philippines because it's like camping everyday. Hahaha. I love it though. Everything is so dirty so I get to get over my germaphobiness. Oh, P.s dad, I am teaching my district leader Spanish so I need you to write to me in some Spanish to refresh my memory.
Last week was really good. We have this AMAZING investigator, Ricky Rosal. He is 23 and works in construction. We taught him only once and didn't even get the chance to ask him to go to church again and he just showed up! Love him! He speaks some Cebuano too so I get to try to remember what I learned at the MTC. So it was really great cuz in his 2nd lesson we decided that the spirit was right so I was going to commit him to baptism. So Bro. Nickko finished talking, and I committed him. And I was so excited cuz I said it so well. Bro Nickko was laughing at me and I couldn't figure out why. Turns out he had already commited him to baptism right before me.
... But he said yes both times so that's good right? Haha so awkward. I swear, I am not as awful at the language as I sound.
Okay that is all for this week. I love you all so much! I hope everything is well! We haven't gotten to watch conference yet but I will let you know when we do. Love you!
