August 1st 2016 TRANSFERS?

hahaha ya Jokes on you guys and on me!!!!! I'm still not transferring... So you know what that means?? i get to spend my Birthday next Month out here in the Bukid. not gonna lie, meydo takan ko sa area ko, pero ok lang kay palangga ko ang mga tawo diri sa area ko kag gusto ko pa magbulig sa akon area kag makabulig sia maguswag sooo tani ini ang transfer masadya sia kag tani ini ang transfer sa akon ulihi diri sa Roxas. Tani.... pero waay ko kabalo :) so makita kita ano matabo :) ang reason nga ginsulat ko sa inyo sa Ilonggo kay ginbatyagan ko nga indi ko magsulat sa inyo sa akon language enough so nagfigured ako nga magsulat ako sa inyo para sa gamay nga tion sa ilonggo :) have fun guys ;) haha i love you all :) 

Ummm so this week has been a little slow but mainly cause with our new mission President he changed some things but it's amazing and i am so excited for it so hours have been a little low so have numbers this week,  but we have been trying to get some new investigators here and also we had Home Teaching this week with the Young men and Elders Quorum so that was pretty fun actually :) it was a little easier for mine cause we had all families that are active but even then going and doing that for them and visiting them just felt amazing cause you can see it that they appreciate it when other members come and share with them and just show them that they care and it is so wonderful and important to do that especially for all members, because some people did their assignments we had 2 whole less active families one of the is a family of 10 and the other a family of 3 come to Church and had some other individuals come to Church this Sunday because they got to meet some of the members and didn't feel as shy coming back to Church cause it can be hard and a little scary especially if you don't know anyone in the Ward but it was just so amazing to see.

So sad to say but i will be getting a new companion tomorrow!!!!! I am gonna miss my tatay a ton but it will be good and i will be the only american now in the house. 3 filipinos and me... We'll see how this works out next week when i email ;) i am sure it will be good but i'm excited for it cause it will help me in a ton of ways and to get better at the language and so much more! I'm looking forward to it so much!!!!  

This was my lunch the yesterday cause we forgot to get food for Sunday so i got to eat some Egg and Pancit Kanton!!! Wooohooo. still not the worst thing i have eaten and i have gotten better with eating food that i don't like :) haven't updated you guys on that in awhile ummm lately i have eaten shrimp a couple times like a lot of it actually when it's been cooked and some fish, also i got to eat Shark, very interesting haha.... but ya ummm if there is anything else that i missed i will put it in next weeks but i am sure that is all :) i love you all and you are all amazing and i miss you tons!!!! Keep being you and Remember who you are.
