Philippines

Hey everybody,

 

 

This has been a great week!

 

 

Last night , the members house we went to, went to the Philippines on his mission. We showed up and he had made us 5 dishes of authentic Philippines food. He made Tsamporado, lumpia, kaldereta, adobo, chicken curry. I'll be honest, when i walked in, i was a little nervous, because i couldn't even pronounce what i was about to eat. It was delicious tho!

 

 

Another cool thing that happened is we are helping teach this lady named Kay. She is so weird, but so funny. We were in a lesson teaching and I don't remember what I said but she stopped me and said, "You're a leader by teaching". I was like what does that mean? She said when I started teaching the room gets silent. She then started Crying and said I pierced her heart with what I said, and it touched her deeply. That was so cool, to see the Holy Ghost touch someone in a lesson so strongly. 

 

 

Also this week we were at a members house and they invited us to go to Chipotle with them even though it was already 8 o'clock. We went anyway, and right as we checked out we heard behind us, "Kupono" which is my companions nickname from back home. We turned around and sitting there at a table happened to be one of my companions friends from high school... in Hawaii! Of all places he could be going to school, he was in Prescott, AZ. It was pretty cool.

 

 

At a service project a few days ago I saw this really intimidating bug on my shorts, so I took a pic with it.

 

 

Sorry this is short but, I am doing really well, loving it here.
