Dear Family,
I have pictures!! I have a camera and you will
never guess what kind. A
samsung. It’s blue and has a rechargeable camera. I bought the same kind. It was the cheapest
one at the first store we went to. It was 5,200 pesos and came with a much
better case than the one before and a 2g memory card.
Did you get my package yet? I got yours on Sunday,
thank you so much! I was super happy when the zone leaders brought it to us.
Those pants are awesome! I have not had a chance to wear them yet but it is
nice to have another pair of pants to wear.
I am starting to gain weight again, everyone in our
ward has noticed how much weight I lost and insists that I eat, so sometimes we
eat like 5 times a day. Its great but a few days ago we left a house and could
not walk because of how much we were fed that day. I lost a ton of weight, I
probably weigh now what I weighed my junior year of high school. (Which was 115, he was 140 in May) But I’ve
already noticed I’m gaining weight, so it’s okay now. I am uploading some, are you getting them?
Let me know which ones don’t work so I can send them again, I’m going to delete
the ones I send to you
I have to tell you a funny story. So the other day
we visited the Flores Family. They have four girls and the mother works in
Canada. The dad teaches English in college, they are all members but the father
is less active. He served a mission years and years ago in Cebu. So we visited
them last week and they offered us food, it was super good. We had chicken and
some Filipino style mini burrito things. Then he brought out a bowl of these
browns chunks of some kind of meet, and E Lozano said "Liver. Kain
ka." Which wasn’t too bad, I’ve had liver before so it was whatever. So I
grab a piece with my hands, and it's cold! I thought, "Why do they eat
cold liver, that’s stupid! Meat should be eaten warm." Any way I ate some
rice to cover the taste of the cold liver and I put a piece in my mouth, and it
was... sweet! Then i thought, "why does this liver taste so sugary?"
After I swallowed it and the rice, i had another plain piece. I think one of
his daughters saw the expression on my face because she said "Chocolate,
Elder." Then I realized what had happened and so did Elder Lozano, he couldn’t
stop laughing. Man I felt like an idiot!
The
party was pretty fun, we just had FHE in front of our apartment with a bunch of
people from ward 2 and ward 5. We had tons of spaghetti (it’s a party food
here, like our version of pizza) and then we bought some donuts and pandesal. After
most of them left, a few of the ward missionaries from ward 5 surprised me with
a birthday cake, it was super delicious. At first I was mad because I didn’t
want to have a part or anything, I mean you know I don’t really care about my
birthday. But after we started we had tons of fun. The birthday party we went
to was fun, it was like if you had one of our parties and doubled the amount of
children.
Sunday
we had an area conference, it was like that one we had right before I got
ordained an elder and an apostle spoke to us by satellite, L Tom Perry
spoke to us, it was pretty cool, but pretty much nobody from our ward showed
up. Imagine if stake conference was in the church by the temple and nobody in
our ward had cars. Nobody would go, right?
Also
we gave a blessing to this lady this week, we're teaching her husband (who is
actually a member but he didn’t know that for like the last 3 weeks we've been
teaching him) and she was super pregnant and feeling terrible. So we gave her a
blessing and two days later she had her baby with no complications. She’s been
listening to the Jehovah's Witnesses but after she had the baby she said she
wanted to listen to us instead. Coolest thing ever!
we visit them every Sunday.. Anyway my time is
up, I’ll talk to you again next week, hopefully you get the package this week
I
love you!
Elder
Williams
