Week 26

This past week! Well I experienced my first flooding in the Philippines. Complete with kids swimming in the dirty mud water and us having to walk through knee deep water to get to our apartment. What a joy! Ha. Yeah it rained REALLY hard for a day and a half this past week. We learned that our bedroom has leaks so we had to move around all the furniture away from the leaks and had buckets everywhere. That was fun! Our room is still arranged all weird until we get it fixed incase it rains again like that. I am trying my best to learn the new area but it is so hilly and crazy! We are trying to drop maps for our teaching records and it is impossible... we just like say "go up this mountain then turn left at the tree that looks like this and then walk up that mountain" so yeah that my area. We had exchanges this past week. It's weird that that will be my ONLY exchange this transfer after being companions with STL's the last two transfers but it was fun. I worked in their area so yeah. It was fun :) Sister Donato (STL) is super funny and nice. Ummm what else happened this week- oh a member gave us ube. It's like my favorite dessert so that was nice :) OH! LAST MONDAY! By far the most stressful night of my mission so far. We were invited to a FHE on sunday so that was our plan for monday night after pday. But while we were out we got a text inviting us over to dinner. So we were like "ok we will go to dinner then the FHE after" while we were at dinner we get ANOTHER text inviting us over for dinner that night too. So we felt bad so we said yes... So we had THREE dinner appointments (Because the FHE had dinner too) in ONE night. It was really stressful and hard to eat. Because all the food is so good but yeah. We suggested this past week to start a dinner calendar here in the ward. The members here are great just they always invite us over last minute ha. Hopefully it gets fixed! But that they still feed us :) So yeah that was my week. I have been studying about diligence and I know I really need  to improve. My area needs a lot of work and the only way it will get fixed is if I am diligent in everything I do. I miss you all! 

Mahal ko kayo!
