Kumusta?? how is everyone? So a super awesome thing happened this week.....our first investigator became our teacher!!!! we were so excited it like made our life!! He is like the nicest guy ever and hes super patient and talks slow so i can acctually understand him. Plus you know me its easier to focus on a guy teacher than a girl teacher....sad but true hahahhaha. Safe to say we all look forward to morning class now! Afternoon class is when we have our girl teacher and we all have to try so hard to stay awake. The language is coming slowly but surely. Tonight we get 2 investigators so thats going to be a challenge. Im worried but were going to try and go with what we know instead of memorization so cross your fingers haha. Well acctually i should say pray. We pray so much here. Like 20 times or more a day. I get tired of doing Tagalog prayers but whatevs. I need to figure it out. I made a ton of flash cards! were learning conjugations and its not hard per say but it is a little tricky so i really need to buckle down and get it done. We are always busy. i dont know how it all gets done. This week we have to plan a lesson to teach on sunday as well as all of our other stuff. oh well. Thats why i have mga kasama. So we can all do a little bit.
The other night we got a little distracted during companion study because we had studied seriously all day long...but anyway we all started talking about our lives before we came on a mission. Everyone thinks my stories are the funniest things ever because they are all from california or big cities in other states. They were dying when i told them about the beet dump. They thought i worked at a DJ place when i said i ran a beet machine. OH MY GOSH how funnyy is that! they also were highly amused that we drive tractors and go on dates in tractors. They were making fun of me so much for being so country but it was just funny because it was true and they just dont understand. Oh california people.... One of our elders is a surfer and we were talking at it was so cool cause he said he live like five minutes away from huntington beach and can hear the waves and all that good stuff. It is weird how different we all are and yet how close we get. I think its because we are all on our own kind of so we have to stick with who we have.
So the oldest distict from our zone left today. It was so sad. They were all super nice. last night we had a little testimony meeting with them up in this amazing room with a perfect view of the temple. I just cant even tell you how cool it was. They have amazing testimonies and they are going to be great but its sad that they arent going to be here anymore. I hate saying goodbyes :( so my companions make me go to choir with them....it is like death because everyone here is a good singer and im over here like um kill me now. I only enjoy going because i get to see walker and tell him all my drama haha. It is pretty cool to hear us all singing though. Every time there is a devotional there is always the rumor going around about omg president monson is coming!! and some people believe it and get super stoked and its really funny. So many things are just funny here and its probably because we have no other form of intertainment. I called it a jail that we come to on our own free will. Jk its not bad. I like it. Its hard but theres always people there for you and always something to get your mind off the hard things. On Sunday night we have movie nights and i went to the testiment last night and there was a kissing part and everyone freaked the freak out like ohhhhh and whistling
and all that good stuff. I was dying haha.
so me and my kasamas are getting along well... shocking i know. lol but really we all work together without too much trouble. Its funny because were all similar in the fact that when we get mad and stressed we all just get superr quiet so you know that if we arent talking theres definatly a reason. but we get over it pretty fast. Sis eddington hasnt had a breakdown yet so shes the strongest out of all of us haha. Its so weird to have to be with people all the time. There are times when you are like wow you guys are awesome!! and then there are times when its like ummm WOW haha. and at those times is when i just start praying that i can make it through haha. Im acctually super thankful because neither of them are morning people either so we all wake up and honestly dont talk until breakfast and we all go to bed at nights and dont talk then. Ok we are pretty quiet people but it works for us haha. We keep our room super clean too. Shocker i know haha. Im just worried about when we have to pack for the philippines. I feel like im going to be sending a lot of stuff home. oh well.
repeat. Oh im going to try and read the book of mormon before i leave. I hope i can do it!! I memorized my first scripture in Tagalog. It is Moroni 10:5 and it says sa pamamagitan ng kapongyarihan ng espiritu santo. malalaman ninyo ang katotohanan ng lahat ng bagay. YEAHHH buddy! i feel pretty cool haha. We always have assignments to practice our tagalog outside of class. we do it but we talk like such white girls though. in class just to annoy our teacher we always say our k's like in our throat so it is like german and it is so funny. Elder Rogers always says mabuti mybootie instead of mabuti. We sing a lot but none of the songs are church songs haha whoops. Randomly walking to class well break out in a song from frozen. gotta love it!! Alrighty i probably am going to call it quits today. You guys are awesome!! keep writing! i love to hear it. im probably better at returning letters than i am returning emails. Weird but true. Love you all!! you guys are awesome!
Mahal kita!
