ok well so im finally adjusting to just how poor it is here. its 300percent different from the states! its extremly humbling to know that little old ladies are spending their weeks wages on bus transport just to get to church every sunday. they live so spread out in the jungle its soo crazy.
we have to take a jeepney to the bukid, the jungle, then we walk forever and get to one persons house. its super funny to see their little hut thats like 10feet by 6feet with rock floors and sheets as walls then to see their HUGE stereo systems and large tvs. its kinda sad to see that but what can i do. the people here love their karaoke. we will be walking along and all of a sudden we will here a journey song or another famous american song just blasting from one of these little huts. its fun. we sing along too :) well my apartment doesnt have rats or mice, it does have ants though. but they are the tiny ones that are super cute that you just dont even notice theyre there till all your food is gone. today we went shopping at the store. its a legit store! they have a check out stand and isles and even a dude standing in front with a shotgun!! whoohoo haha oh and today its raining like wicked crazy!!!!!! holy cow. we walked like 3 blocks and we are sooo super duper soaked!!! i bought some root beer today. it tastes like garbage. ha oh well. now im going to try to attach all my photos and possibly a video. we will see. its only letting me send like 5 at a time. ill send another email.
love you all and hope you all have a very merry christmas!!
