kewl

kewl! (that's how you pronounce it in Tagalog) I have a ton of pictures I'm going to send. I need a favor...can you send me a recipe for crepes? I am not missing American food at all. Actually this is Elder Bellens request. No I haven't heard a thing about skyping. when is mothers day? Today we went to PhilRice, the research center here in munoz. I'm sending pictures right now.  I haven't sent any for a long time so I took a bunch this week


This week we went to MilkaKrem and saw the San Jose Zone, but I forgot my camera! On the bright side I saw Patrick Wilson, that was awesome! He looks alot different than I remember; the last time I saw him he was a skinny kid with shaggy hair. But he looks a lot better all cleaned up and everything. On Tuesday we had interviews with President Martino. I still enjoyed it, but we sort of get the short end of the stick in Munoz. We are the last zone in the mission to get interviews (except Baler but its far away so he takes an entire Saturday to do it), and before he comes to us he interviews all of San Jose Zone. So understandably he's tired and a bit worn out, so I feel like he was sort of rushing through the interviews a bit. But he taught me two powerful lessons during the interview and said this: "If you can learn to master these, you'll be a CEO someday. At worst, this will keep you from mediocrity your whole life." Also this week (Wednesday yata...) A pulubi (beggar) came to our house and asked for bread or rice or clothes. Elder Bellen offered her bread and her response was: 'May pa-laman ba?' (Do you have something to put on it?). The three other missionaries in our apartment are on a no-rice diet, so I am having a hard time. Its so weird not having rice for lunch. We went with Elder and Sister Fort to do house checks, it was great to sit with Elder Fort and talk about all sorts of things, like whats happening in the Church worldwide, WWII, and carabao. This Friday was one of the most nakaka-home sick days ever. We visited that less active that came from America, this Sister  fed us homemade pizza! I told her all kinds of stories about when I was little and we used to make our own home made pizzas for dinner. Saturday we had a CSP in Linglingay, I got sunburned pretty bad. We cleaned up next to the riverbank and also at the school. For dinner on Saturday we ate with a  family; isda na naman, super masarap! Sunday was full of meetings and eating appointments. Today the same Sister made us lasagna! today was even more nakakka-homesick than a few days ago, I loved it!
