archaic track

 

 

I just love my missionary

I am going to start calling all the blog posts flashback Moday's.  We hae not gotten new photos for quite some time. 

 

hello.

This week was awesome. For the first time in since I've been here I had the chance to run around the archaic track at CLSU, kapanget! (its an awful track). We went to San Jose this week because Elder Bellen had to get a chest X-ray since he's pauwi na. (going home) the guy who took us around on a trike charged us more than he should have because I'm an American (they call it 'white tax ' here). Sister Costales had her birthday and fed us spaghetti with singkamas, masarap! (delicious) Also we went to a birthday party and while we were eating, a niyog (coconut) fell from the tree and landed right in the gitna (middle) of the table. The pancit I was eating went all over the place, but nothing broke and nobody got hurt.

This week we also met a lady who is a house help for an old couple in Anaheim, California but came back here for vacation. Also she's super rich and when we started talking to her she let us in and told us how her boss in America is Mormons so she got baptized but here she cant go to church because she's good friends with the Methodist Minister here in Munoz. So she's living a double life. But she made us cookies and told us next time she'd invite us over for lasagna. her house it so nakaka-homesick, she has tons of Betty Crocker cake mix and American Cereals and Krusteaz pancakes.

Remember that family we're teaching that isn't married yet? They went to Cabanatuan this week and got their birth certificates fixed and right now they are taking care of the final details so they can get married on May 4, E Bellen's last day of missionary work.

There's a new restaurant here in town and when we went there to try it we met the guy running for Mayor here in Munoz, malambot pala siya! We bought a blender to make shakes, and after about 5 minutes it stopped working so we thought it broke. It turns out that products here truly are Filipino made, so the engine in the blender just overheated and after about 10 minutes started working again. At this speed, we can make about one shake every ten minutes.

I only have 59 days left. kamote. (sweet)

ha ha if I even found a Filipino girl to marry grandpa wouldn't even entertain the idea. I don't know about transfers that's a long time away.

flip. I don't have any pictures, sorry. We went running this morning and then played basketball afterwards. I brought my camera but forgot my memory card.

WHAT???  I would LOVE to be roommates with him. I don't know if you know him but he was one of the best runners Firth ever had. I remember once my freshmen year at the Arco race he beat everyone by several minutes and I thought he was the fastest person ever.  Man this is so weird talking about stuff like this. I just want to be a missionary forever and not worry about things like this. anyway my time is up so I'll talk to you next week. I love you!
