LATE

hey I'm sorry it is so late today. I would hope you are asleep so this should just make for a great Monday surprise. This week was pretty alright for us. We have really just been trying to find some people to teach. And even though I haven't found any super awesome people yet I did see two beautiful sunsets so you gotta take what you can get. We had exchanges last Friday. That was a blast. I got to work with Elder Gamas. He is freakin funny and he also said my Tagalog is not really that bad so that made me pumped. Also while I was working with him we found this cool cafe that had a wall full of dream catchers. We went to get a pic and while we were sitting at the table they brought us water and menus. The awkward bit was we were both completely broke so we couldn't even afford to buy a lemonade.... We just sat there for a bit, snuck a pic of the wall, and then elder Gamas pretended to get an "Emergency" call so we left really fast. He is a pretty good actor it turns out and we had a pretty good laugh about it. Today we had a district activity and that was a blast. I made some no bake cookies and they tasted freakin amazing so I will for sure be making that again because I can buy the stuff for pretty cheap (except peanut butter but whatever). A lot of our week was just spent walking and talking to people. We found this weird abandoned swimming pool out in the middle of these rice fields and while we were admiring it like 5 kids came and started talking to us. They were all pretty chill and want us to come back and teach them so that will hopefully be great and work out for us. Also on Tuesday we went down this skinny road and all these kids probably like 6-12 started surrounding us and talking to us. So we taught them all in one of their houses. The only problem was the house would comfortably fit about 6 people and there were probably about 25 of us. Two of them followed us for like 2 hours after that and just made all these people talk to us. It was pretty cool and the kids said some funny stuff so that wasn't a bad way to spend some time. Brother Reyes told me that after him and his gf get married they want to visit utah so I told him he has to wait until I get home and then I can show him around and he was pretty happy about that. I hope he really does. I would love for you all to meet him although I don't know how much he speaks english so you all better start to practice now. 

 

I love you all tons and hope you have an awesome week!!!
