Week 4!

Hello, 

I'm sure you are wondering more about the storm. We haven't been able to do any service yet, but we found out this morning that we are getting missionaries sent to our mission because the Tacloban mission is closed. Isn't that so bad? their mission is closed, and a ton of our missionaries now have to go home early because we don't have enough room for everyone. President said we won't know how bad the damage is for a few weeks so maybe in a few weeks we will be able to help out. So depressing though, please keep the victims in your prayers. 

This week was great! On Tuesday I had my first exchange, and it was so fun! I was with Sister Palmer- she is from Utah and it was so fun. It seriously felt like a sleepover and I was back home with my friends :) I love exchanges. I actually didn't know that you spend the night in the apartment, I thought you just change companions for a day. That's why it feels like a sleepover, because it is! 

On Thursday we got to go to Urdaneta again for a sister zone study. I love being so close to Urdaneta because then I get to go there for studies and it's so fun! I love visiting the mission home. After our studies we went to lunch at Magic which is the mall.. and I tried Halo-Halo. Halo-Halo is a dessert with ice cream and coconut and a ton of other stuff that I'm not sure what it is exactly but it was good. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it has beans in it and Halo means to mix so your supposed to mix it all up and eat it and when you mix it up not going to lie it looks nasty. Next time I'm not going to mix it! I was good though! I will attach a picture. 

My favorite food so far is Pansit, it's this stir fry noodle dish with chicken or pork, carrots, cabbage, and noodles. So delicious! I had it with the HAlo-Halo, you can see it in the picture. 

Our teaching is going alright. Right now we only have one progressing investigator and he is 9. He lives with a part member family and they want us to teach him so he can be baptized. It's funny, every time we teach him, he brings more and more friends and yesterday we taught like 10 kids, and surprisingly they all listen to us and it's actually a good lesson. The kids are so cute and funny, I love them! We have had to drop a few of our investigators because they aren't progressing. If only they would just come to church.. ugh. But we are determined to find new investigators this week! 

The Tagalog is slowly coming, I learn new things everyday but It's still really hard to understand people. I just try to say what I can and usually it's not very much.
