A Picture Says 1,000 Words

Kumusta na po kayo,

Yes, I am excited to stay with my trainer. He is a good lad. He went to Red Mountain High School and was in the Salt River Stake. We get along good.

The week was good. We had 5 good investigators at church. I had a lot of fun teaching this week. The best is teaching mga tao ng Iglecia ni Cristo (church members of Iglesia ni Christo). It's the best! That kind of sounds like a pride thing but it's not. It is the best because everytime we teach Iglecia I feel very supported. I feel like truth is barfing out of my mouth uncontrollably and enlightening the room. It's great!

We got caught in the thunderstorm because we went to all our teaching appointments. The weather here in Infanta is very unpredictable as opposed to the rest of the Flip daw. Binili ko ang payong noong dalawang linggo na. (I bought an umbrella two weeks ago.) Ano ang landscape sa tagalog? (What is landscape in tagalog?) There was no baha(no flooding).

I will now send you pictures. Here are the captions:

I am very goofy. I did not take many pictures of my everyday work. In fact, I don't really take that many pictures.

So our investigators have been giving us things. We got these astig (cool) yellow polos.

This is after our first thunderstorm.

We played basketball with some investigators on p-day.

Maraming salamat po para sa package. The contents were a flavorful food delight. The pens were awesome. The little flashlight was very cool as well.

Special thanks to Sister Magleby and Ate.

Well...I bought a toy frisbee already... Mom I will ask my mission president's permission for the other frisbee I guess. I guarantee he will say yes... Sa palagay ko, It won't be a distraction... I feel very awkward that I have to ask for a frisbee again. I would not ask for things that would be detrimental to the work. Pero, I understand your concern, Ask Kuya. Kung hindi okay lang daw, I am fine with not having this frisbee.

I really don't know what to tell you about the work. There are no stories that I can go in intricate detail or anything pero let me just tell you, that there is a really really nice feeling when you find out your investigator keeps their commitments and feels like their prayer was answered. So... yeah that happened I guess with some investigators. I can't really elaborate on it. It just happened and it feels nice.

Anyways, Paalam my chinky fam and my white bayow (brother-in-law) and my alabaster hipag (sister-in-law) (probably shouldn't send chinky to anyone besides the fam)
