day 299

Hey folks. well this week wasnt anything special. really nothing exciting happened. English is getting harder and harder. ugh... oh... here is one thing that was kinda cool. We went to a little culture thing put on by the high school. it really wasnt anything cultural, but it had some debates in tagalog, some dances to justin boober music, and some little around the world fashion show.

we have an investigator that is doing really well. she is 12. she is super bright and awesome. she should be baptized on sep 14. hopefully she can make it with out any problems.

We still need to talk to (the dad) and see if he is still interested in becoming a member. its sad that his whole family are members and he isnt.

I got your package! it was awesome. We made mac n cheese yesterday for lunch. holy crap. that was good!!! all the licorice is gone, as well as the jerky.yum. thanks :) 

By the way, were you able to find my Ipod touch at all??? 

well i love you have a great week!!!

well thats about it for this week. ill send some photos now. so adios and have a happy day.

Questions:

Was the ocean water warm?  Is it salted?  (is that a dumb question? are all oceans salted?)  What if you didn't baptize in the ocean?  Where would you do it?  Are there fonts in your church?

OH man... the water was sooo warm!!! it was saltly.:) uh... well we normally would do it in the church cuz there is a font, but it wasnt working.. if the ocean wasnt an option, we would prolly go to bobon, the next closest area to ours. they have a font.... well actually, the brown out was for everyone, so... it would have had to be done in the ocean, or the next day.

Do you have any questions about any Olympic event?  We didn't really see any pinos get a medal...but we did see them walk in the parade.  I think there were like 11 athletes.

i got to see a few things... some diving, and some of the womens soccer game, it was the japan game. i saw just a few seconds of it.

How're you feeling?  Did the last stone pass?  Are you keeping them? Getting them analyzed?  so you know what to stay away from?  You shouldn't have anymore for awhile now...at least until you get home (isn't that a fun thought?)

im feeling fine, i think the second stone is making its way out now, cuz its starting to hurt when i pee...they get lost in the toilet. i dont have a net or anything to catch them... we are in the pines... its not that high tech here...:)

We were (not really) kinda worried about the flooding there.  I guess it was mostly in Manilla and in the Cagayan area.  Do you feel any residual or is raining profusely too there?

when i was in tacloban, the sisters in my area told me about the flood. it also flood catarman too. it was about a meter high.(3ish feet). when i got back it was all gone... my area floods everytime it rains... the draining systems here suck... its not been raining to much other than like two weeks ago.. but the rainy season is coming up. starts in like octobor or september. well thats about it so
