Well this was a pretty solid week. We celebrated elder Bongalons bday he turned 20 years old. elder wood and i bought some cake and ice cream for us all, he loved it! It was fun though to party as a kabahay.
This week we continued to teach Francisco and Niki. They are still golden :) We taught them the plan of salvation and talked about the temple at the end. They loved it so much. Their baptism is going to be on march second.
Well on Friday i got my butt kicked lol. we went to a referral with Enrico and the first question the guy asked us was " why did Joseph Smith have so many wives". I was like "oh craaap this guy isn't going to listen to us." We answered a lot of bible basher questions for like 10 min and then decided it would be better to leave cause he wasn't going to be receptive. After that lesson i was tired cause it was a lot of Tagalog i had never used before and i didn't know i could use. So we decided to find some less active members. We tried to find one of them named Juancho Galang, but when we found him it turns out he left the church completely and wanted to Bible bash us too! I was like oh cmon haha. He had tons of questions and we wanted to help him remember why he was baptized, but he wasn't receptive at all haha.
After that lesson (basically him arguing with us haha) we decided it would be a good time to get a quick bite to eat at the palenke. We ended up running into one of Enrico's friends that wanted to talk to us... and yep he went off about the bible too! Haha it was a weird day bc usually people here just say that all religions are good.
Idk if I am going to be able to call you guys today bc there is only one camera here at the computer shop and I told Elder Wood to use it. I might use it in a little bit, but if not we can just do it next week when you guys are all together. It is a crazy change for missionary work! All the missionaries are pumped for it sure!
Sorry this email is kinda all over the place. I think I got some food poisoning last night bc I was throwing up all night haha! I woke up at 4 am and knew I was going to throw up so I ran down to the bathroom and let it fly!:) Haha I threw up no joke 2 gallons of crap over those couple hours, then I was crawling back into bed when they were all waking up haha. I'm just glad it is pday so we don't have to cancel any appointments. I should be good though! Love you guys!
