June 13th

Wow, I can't believe that i am finally done with training next week! time flew by way fast out here! and no i am still not fluent at the language... Getting there though :) it's rough but it's coming! We get to go to Iloilo again to go to a trainers and traines meeting tomorrow and i will get to see everyone again so i am super excited about that :)

This week has been good we have been focusing on less actives still so we don't have a whole lot of Investigators but we are starting to see some real progression in our less actives right now :) I am super excited about it because they are starting to come back to church and they have been really helpful with showing us other less actives and all that like this last week i went to go see one of our less actives their name is Langaryan family and we found a less active that was there and she wanted us to do a FHE there at her house this week and told us she would show us where the other less actives in the ward live in here little area :) So freaking awesome!!! I was a little shocked when she told us that but i was super happy! It's still hard to work with less actives though they are the hardest people to work with sometimes but i love them all with all my heart and they are amazing still even though they can be super hard headed sometimes it's ok cause we still go see them and have been able to help resolve their concerns with why they stopped coming to church and even last Sunday we had 11 less actives come to Church! Best feeling ever and this Sunday we had an Investigator come to Church and she brought her 5 year old daughter super cute :) The mom's name is Melvie and her daughters name is Aquisha, or her nickname is AJ. But it was awesome cause her daughter told us when we saw them on Saturday that sorry elders that it's been a long time since we have seen you or come to Church and it was just so funny but so awesome when she told us that.

I ended up eating bbq chicken feet so that is something you all deserve to know ;) haha it wasn't that bad honestly just pure fat.. so not my favorite but makes you think and makes you thankful for the things that are made for you back in america especially for me. Cause of course i am very very picky. Still kind of am but it's going away so don't worry ;) but makes me appreciate things more but no the people here are amazing cooks so the things you eat that are weird actually don't taste to bad! I hope that everyone is doing well :) I miss you all and love you tons!!!!! Oh also it has been freaking pouring rain out here like crazy so ya it's safe to say rainy season is here! haha you will like some of my pictures :) I'll show you all how you shower when you don't have any water at the house out here in the Philippines ;) super super fun haha :) Palangga Ko Kamo!!!!! Nagmiss ko kamo

Pagpalangga,

Elder Merrill :)
