Dad I got your email, and Maddy I got the pictures you sent, thanks! Mom I haven't gotten an email from you, or Cam or Nicks emails yet. (I wrote and sent him Nick's email-Dolly).
Well, the Philippines is definitely different than
Utah and I have seen some things that you would never see in Utah. For
example in groceries stores and right now we are listening to unedited
rap music. I am finding it difficult to be teaching someone when the
neighbors are blasting music, or all you can hear is traffic. There are
not many quiet places in the city. There are also aromas that I've have
never smelled, whether for good or bad.
That makes me amazed at how devoted the members are, some
of them do not have as much as others, yet they still put their trust in
the church, and in God. Its humbling to see.
When we go to
member's houses, they like to feed us, a lot! I was almost sick from how
much I ate last night haha...and there are so many foods that I could not
imagine my life without now.
Yesterday was Fast Sunday which was pretty tough since its
so hot here, but I know that so many blessing come from fasting. On Saturday, we
got to go to the temple for a temple tour, and it is a really beautiful
temple. I can't wait until we get to go into it.
I am going to try to compress a folder with all the pictures and send it, that way I can send them all.
I am trying to think of things to write about...that's why I like writing hand written letters, I have more time to think
We don't buy toilet paper, I am not sure if I wrote about that earlier, everyone is ok with just water.
Oh! Last week Elder Kmetzsch was washing the bathroom and he bumped a pipe
that broke, and a bunch of water starting gushing out, and we had to
turn off the water and wait a day until someone could come and fix it. So when the plumber came we also had him fix the shower head, and the sink. So our
bathroom is really nice now.
I am not sure if I have mentioned this already as well, but I
bought some badminton stuff...and in every church building they have ping
pong stuff! These churches know whats up:D
The internet is
really slow at this place, and I am not sure if I will be able to send
pictures, but Elder Kmetzsch said I could buy a flash drive and put all
the pictures on there and then just send it home.
More news next week!
