seriously though, everyone I talk to thinks I am a native, I have no idea why because I don't think I look filippino at all but they say it's because of my dark skin. Who knows.
I've been in the PHilippines for one month already... 16 more to go!!
Time is just flying.. this week felt like 3 days, honestly I don't even know where my time goes. Monday's fly by because it's P-day. I love P-day so much! We usually have Zone studies in Rosales and then we go to an internet shop to email-yeahh! Then we get to go to Sm. SM is the mall and it's so fun. It's seriously just like an American mall but with different stores. Right now they bast Christmas music- it's the best. They also have MCdonald's and we usually eat there every p-day. Tastes like home!
The members love to have us over for FHE during the week. So we have like 3 or 4 FHE'S a week.. we live the good life! I love the members, FHE is so fun, we have a lesson and then play games and then they always serve us tons of food. It's fun trying new foods. One thing that I am trying to get used to is that they leave the fat and the bones on all their meat. So sometimes I get grossed out and I have to pick at my meat because I just can't eat the fat.. I tried and I just can't. eww. But this week I tried this soup with chicken, papaya,and these leaves that they always put in stuff, it was really good. I can never remember the names of all the stuff I try but it's all so good. Mostly it's pork or chicken and rice. I haven't had anything extreme yet!
There is this hamburger place called Angles and it's soo good! It's this shack on the street but I consider it to be the IN-N-OUt of the PHilippines! I beg sister gomez if we can go there like every day.. its so good!
Friday and Saturday we had exchanges again. I got to go to Urdaneta to be with Sister Briones, our Sister training leader. It was so fun.. I love Urdaneta.. I really want to be transferred there! Hopefully I will eventually.
I still can't speak much but I am learning. I understand more than I can speak so that's good I guess. Our work is kind of slow right now, we didn't get any new investigators this week but its ok, next week we will, I know it! Sister Gomez and I have a goal that we are going to fast once a week because we really need new investigators. I know we will get some soon.. they are waiting for us!
