November 11, 2013 (after Typhoon Haiyan)

Hey! everything is alright, Maambon lang sa amin. but our new elder in our house who just got here a week ago is actually from Tacloban! he has probably been stressing out a little even though he isn't showing it. but this week has been pretty fun, the companionship was still pretty rough, but we are getting better.

Crazy story, we met this dude who we are pretty sure was into some black magic, and is a less active. we were walking to our appointment, and i saw some chips (nova's) that i wanted to buy (they are like cheddar sun chips). and the dude starts talking to us, and he says that he has a Book of Mormon, so he showed it to us, and it was from 1995. he didn't tell us that he was a member (we didn't ask either) but we just gave him a pamphlet and got a return appointment with him. but then he started the weird black magic stuff!  he put his hands together so it looked like a triangle, then turned it into the napoleon dynamite hand eagle, then back to the triangle and said "remember the triangle"  then he was looking at Elder Sabado, and said he had some kidney problem. its more in depth, but thats the just of the story. oh yeah then he gave us free food.

Alright so its getting close to thanksgiving! and Christmas! so we have been singing Christmas songs for every companionship study.

I hope that everything is going good over there, i love you all!

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!!
