Well, we found out some news this week..... This was once again after a hospital visit :) Sister Quijada had Dengue.... So we have really been asked to move now! By President Andaya, Sister Andaya, and our Zone Leaders on constant occasion! With the big out break in our bedroom, because the outside of the house has a drainage that lines it and our window is next to it, we have moved our bed pads into the living room/ kitchen to get away form them! :) hahah, and then we have another downfall..... finding an appt is really hard here! No one knows if one is renting and to find one that is suitable for living and can be approved, is also really hard. So that has become our finding :) Haha, only joking! But that does remind me to tell you this..... finding here is really hard! If you find someone on the street and want to share more, good luck finding their home, because waray address! It's all based on description and they are very vague as well... So finding here is hard! Pero, going tracting has helped us a lot in fulfilling! Pero, waray new investigators.... Just Myrna!
Something else really cool happened this week..... I ATE STINGRAY!! Hahah, it was the coolest thing ever! We were on companion exchanges and Sister Karagdag and I went to the market to get fish, which by the way is really sketchy, but as we were walking through and looking at all the dead little Nemo's; well they are actually pretty big, we found something that was already cut, she talked with the guy about something and all of it I didn't understand. Then he turned around and there was a sting ray on the table!! I was like what the heck! :) SO, stingray is delicious! Haha, a lot better than Balut! Never again! I can't even look at eggs the same anymore! Oh, and eggs here... waray expiration date. Even more sketch! So I have stayed away from eggs for quite awhile and most likely the whole mission! :) Hahah
The week has been good though! Just doin the work and such! Nothing really big happened this week again... You would think the Philippines would be like an Indiana Jones movie constantly! We gave The Solayao Family a Book of Mormon Stories this week! Their reaction was priceless..... It made me so happy to see just how eager they all were to read even more! Which Their reading, is amazing! They read ALL the time! And it makes me so happy! And everyone here is basically Catholic, and so are all the schools, so there is a lot of prayers. Little J-boy Solayao got in trouble for praying with his eyes closed, head bowed, and arms folded.....:) We all kinda laughed and smiled when he told us! But, apparently one of the other teachers is Mormon and cleared it all up and invited that teacher to church I think! So, we'll see!
Well, I love you all and again I am so grateful for this great opportunity to serve and to be where I am now! The whole deja vu thing is just another proof that I am where I am meant to be! And I couldn't be any happier! Love you all and hope your week is amazing!
