silly scripture of the week is Ezra 8:3. this is a good scriptures for missionaries to use when they are "dear john-ed"

another baptism this week, his name is Nico Navarra Amihan.

this week, i learned that rooster fights is not only legal but a big sport here. we've been trying to help the Roquero family (we baptized all but the father and son who is 3) and i told elder woodford that the way to his heart would be through his chickens. and it was. he talked to us for an hour and we really had a trust building activity where we would give him the opportunity to hear our message. hopefully that works out, not only that but his wife's family is very active.

i've really been wanting a missionary pal from amazon, i am currently borrowing a member's missionary pal and it's really good to use in lessons. i've been trying to buy one online but it's a lot of time and effort to make the account and to find it and do all that stuff when i only have a limited amount of time on the internet. i was wondering if anyone with an amazon account (todd) or anyone who could find it could message me and possibly buy it for me from amazon (just put my package address as the ship to address) and i'll pay them back.

also, when i write down things that would be good to send, such as pants or other essentials. if you message me, i can specify exactly what i need. for instance, my waste size is 42 inches and my length is 32 inches. also, my shoe size is 13-14. my shirt neck size is 17 1/2. and if anyone who wants to send something in a package needs additional information, don't hesitate to ask. thank you. but the best gift would probably be a donation to my mom so that she can put it into my personal fund. that way i can just buy what i need here instead of wait for something to arrive that would cost the sender a bunch of money from shipping. (like a new umbrella)

also, letters should probably be sent international (with an international stamp) to the address for packages. pouch mail sucks, don't use it. i'll literally never get the letter.

i would just like to state for the record that every one of my companions has stated that i belch the loudest that anyone has ever burped. and that they have all been amazed by this fact.

well, this week has been pretty normal, so i don't know what to do with my hands. i guess i'll just go finish off my P-day at SM (short for super market, it's like a mall)
