Things here were great this week that is for sure...we went on picnics with members where there was this big river and kalibaw and fishermen and just it was so so cool. O and yes I am transferring tomorrow to the other side of the mission...Magalang is the name of my area it is right by Angeles and there are a lot of beautiful women there and a lot of white people there too cause it is like big city...a burger king and pizza hut too o yeah baby... My new companion's name is Elder Timbas he is really small i guess and yeah so we see how that goes and i can't believe i am going to a whole new area it is so crazy but i am ready...o and they speak a different language in my new area to... here is an example
1: What is your name?
2: (My area now (Aduas)) Ano ang panggalan mo?
3: (My new Area (Magalang)) Nanong lagyu mo?
Crazy I know i can't believe that but it should be fun and it will just be all so new again... I am nervous but i know that is normal...But most people understand Tagalog even if they speak a different language so that it good lol... I had just a fun great week here in the mission here are some things that happened this week... I taught a whole bunch of new people. One guy i taught was a Muslim and doesn't believe in Christ so that was so hard, since i know nothing about there religion...but i just hope he felt the spirit...then we taught a new women who felt the spirit so strong she just started crying and saying this is what she needs in her life cause it is so hard right now so that was a great experience. All of our numbers were the highest they had ever been too so that was great to go out with a bang I am going to miss all the people in Aduas though. And man is it hot here summer is starting here and it is so hot but what can you do about that. I ate chicken feet finally they taste alright but so much work for so little meat lol... I can't believe i have been here this long time is just flying by...I can't believe how much has changed in my self already... I am so glad you are all doing great and working hard...

This week has been so so sweet... And right now it sweet cause in all the computer shops there is great great music lol all American music too. This week went so so good i am starting to have just a normal conversation with just total strangers and they can understand me and people are always tell me i have great Tagalog so that always makes me so so happy and everything is so great. Nay the mango's are the best thing in the world. I love it here you can just walk down the street and begin picking fruit and eat it for free cause they are just everything. every tree or bush has some kind of fruit or gulay (vegtables). The food is to die for other than i ate deep fried intestines so those were a little weird but i made it through lol...We have a baptism on the 26th for sure so that is great. It is PaolMar a 11 year old boy that is so stinking cool lol... I got two pairs of paints made the other day and bought some watter baffalo belts lol... basketball here is crazy everyone likes it... i am always getting asked to dunk and stuff it is funny almost every corners has a hoop and we play like twice a week.

Well this week was another hard but great week... first thing is i had to lead the area for the first time and that was hard but went pretty dang good so that made me happy... i planned and lead the zone leader that whole day cause the next morning he interviewed my investigator. He gets baptized on Saturday and i am so happy and excited lol.. then the other day we taught at a house in a swamp you walk on three pieces of bamboo to get out to there house which was scary and then the family told us about a water lizard that has been eating for chickens lol.. and snakes that could eat full ducks scary .. then later that night i was teaching when i saw something in the corner of my eye run across the wall and it was a spider the size of my hand no joke it was huge and i didn't like seeing that lol... but the work has been a little slow so we need to buckle down and get to work. Things are good here really and that makes me happy the food is good and that makes me happy too some stuff is gross but o well... and then the heat is hot always... but things are always getting better i am seeing huge changes in the language and what i can understand and say so that is sweet... there is a lot of English here though which makes things hard cause people always want to talk to you in English which doesn't help me lol... but things are just good i am busy!
