It's More Fun in the Philippines:
- Last night my companion passed out, so that was CRAZY! Basically he had an ingrown toe nail that was crazy bad, so I went and cut it and yanked it out. Obviously those buggers hurt way bad, but when I pulled it out he said, "That hurt. Just wait, I feel really dizzy." All of a sudden he slumped straight forward completely limp. It surprised me like crazy, but I grabbed him and laid him on his on the floor. He immediately woke back up, leaned over and "lost all of his dinner." I felt so bad that I cleaned the floor as he went and brushed his teeth.
- We had a massive Boodle Fight at the home of a family we are teaching. A boodle fight is basically wear a bunch of rice and ulam (food on top of rice. The meat and flavor) are dumped onto banana leaves, and then everyone just eats together using only their hands.
I don't have much time to email this week, but I'm so grateful for the opportunity I have to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. Each night I go to bed even more tired than the last, but every morning I wake up happier than the day before. The best memories of my life have been while serving a mission and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have seen so many changes in my life and in the lives of others. I know that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the World, and he wants us to accept and follow His teachings. I am forever grateful and in debt to his sacrifice for me.
