Happy 4th

So this week has been a bit of a blur honestly... so i am sorry that i don't really have much to talk about but lets see, umm so i guess i will testify first to you guys that Avocado smoothies are the BEST haha we actually had a really really good week again this week!!! So we have been still focusing on Less Actives. that won't be changing for awhile in this area.. But we actually had an attendance of 64 people at Church this week!!! Ya sounds low but that is actually really big for this ward.. Ya we are a ward. Shows you how much work we have to do in this area! 

One of our investigators came with us to the Sisters Baptism and she said that she is so so so excited to prepare for her Baptism on July 30th!!! and she is such  a solid Investigator and we have about 2 or 3 families that we are working with that we found yesterday so we'll see if they end up coming to Church this next Sunday!! but they seem to have a ton of potential and were super excited to have us come back to them!

We had another great week even though it was a blur... I guess that what just kind of happens when you are working working working haha.... But here is a picture of a rice field that is growing and all the mountains you see in the background ya that is all my area :) so fun to walk it. :p ummm also this is a super good drink that i had at an Indian restaurant here it is Lychee with Pinapple and Coconut super super good haha i was bored and needed some pictures... 

Obviously we all know what tomorrow is!!!! 4th of July technically it is today for me so we are gonna celebrate it as american as we can haha ;) gonna have a ghetto bbq and make burgers :) i will take pictures for you guys for next week! but should be fun and so that is what this is is me in my patriotic clothes for Pday :) Got the navy blue pants white shirt and red tie ;) gotta represent the US out here in the Philippines right?? :) but i am so jealous of all of you in America that get to celebrate it... Tons of memorize from last 4th of July that i have and will be thinking about a little bit to get me in the mood of the Holiday :p but I hope you all have fun tomorrow with your families and i will miss you all and have fun with the Fireworks and for the parade and for you going to the Carnival have fun as well because it is super fun so go have some fun family time :) OK??? HAPPY 4TH!!!! 

These are the tiniest freaking bananas that i have ever seen in my life and have ever eaten!!! they taste like a laughy taffy though. and they look cute haha :) so i decided to share the love with you guys of how little they are, This house is a house that we typically teach in, these are what almost every house out here look like. Bamboo with a straw roof!  

We get to meet our new Mission president this week actually so that should be pretty fun to meet him and get to know him so i will always let you all know how that goes next week :)  ummm i can't really think of anything else so that might be it for this email... but i love you all Palangga ko kamo, Nagmiss gid ko kamo!!!! Be safe, Keep smiling :)
