Ok so honestly there wasn't a whole lot that happened this week but the things that did happen were super AMAZING, Alright so first off I'm super glad that you all got my letter and the pictures i sent out next week. 2nd so we had a devotional last Tuesday and you'll never guess who was our speaker. Ronald A. Rasband!!!!:) he gave us an amazing talk, His talk was on one of his older ones from 2010 about Missionaries and he was telling us about his experience with Eiring and how he went and helped out with the process of how they select where missionaries go and it was really cool to actually hear how they do that i mean i've been told that before Pero(but) it's just always a lot cooler when you get to hear the actual experience the Apostle had!!! Alright 3rd, So we taught our 5th lesson with our "investigator" kag(and) he agreed to be BAPTIZED!!!! my companion and i were super happy to hear that he had prayed about what we had taught was true and that he wanted to get Baptized! honestly we were both a bit surprised that he said yes tungod(because) indi kabalo kami(we didn't know) if he even understood us half the time we were teaching him a lesson because our language is just super rough. Pero(but) he made a video for us and he told us that we did an amazing time even though there were times that he couldn't really understand what we were saying he still got our message and could feel the palangga kami(love we) had for him and whenever we taught him even though he didn't know what the espiritu santo(holy ghost) was he still felt something super strong every time we taught him a lesson. This week we started teaching our second investigator and its been going really well so far granted we've only taught her one lesson but we will be teaching her again tomorrow and will have another investigator as well for tomorrow so we'll be having to tudlo(teach) 2 investigators starting tomorrow.... Im malipay gid(very happy) about it pero(but) its gonna be hard tungod(because) i feel like there is so much that we still need to learn kag(and) it can just get a bit overwhelming! We started to learn sentence structure in Ilonggo yesterday and oh my gosh. It's the most complicated thing in the world, We sound like yoda trying to talk haha tungod(because) we have to put it in the right sentence structure in english first then translate it to ilonggo and it's just absolutely confusing. I feel like my head might explode from learning so much of the language already and then throwing the sentences in that mix is indi maayo(bad) i go home from class everyday with my head throbbing from all of the information we end up learning but its good cause its showed me how blessed we are and how real the gift of tongues is! because 8 days in the MTC i already have learned about 20 sentences maybe more and about 300+ words sa ilonggo! crazy right?? but other than that its been a pretty ordinary week and just been busy here learning the language and how to teach :) but im doing maayo gid(great) i cant believe its been 2 weeks already and starting up on the 3rd week of the MTC schedule so that means only 3 and a half more weeks till im out in Philippines!!!! im so excited for it and i can't wait to get out in the field! Well that pretty much all i've got for this week pero(but) i do have some photot's for you all :) talk to you all next Tuesday!!!! Palangga ka kamo!!!! (i love you all)
