silly scripture of the week is Proverbs 27:14
2 baptisms this week. their names are Donamy Sta. Maria Caparon and Lyca Nicole Sta. Maria Caparon.
i learned this week that banago (fifth ward area) was the worst part of the city in terms of drugs, prostitution and gangs. it makes sense because it's almost completely squaters areas but they squat literally right next door to the richest part of the city (Santa Clara). it makes sense how i had a hard time with people being rude. this area, no one is really rude or obnoxious but they are not normally receptive either. oh well, can't have everything. the houses are normally rich enough to have AC but they still don't have it here, neither in the chapel. apparently they don't have enough faith to pay a full tithes so they won't receive the blessing of AC.
2 new uses for tires; floor mats and rooster houses.
one thing that's pretty funny to see everywhere is people wearing bags on their heads. they only do it when it is raining, but even still, the bag does nothing but keep your hair dry. i've been told that apparently they believe that people get sick when they get rain on their hair. getting regular water on your hair is ok, also it's only your head. you don't need to worry about your body.
i have learned a valuable lesson this week. sometimes green bananas are ripe and yellow bananas are not ripe. elder phelps took a yellow banana thinking that it was ripe and it wasn't. and i took a green banana (of a different type) and it was. just exactly how this is valuable, i don't know. maybe it will help me in picking out bananas in the future.
speaking of fruits, i've been eating mango float for the past two weeks and in no way is that depressing.
as of right now, i should be good on the socks and shoes front. maybe there can be preparations to send more because they won't arrive here for a few months after you send it.
also, general conference was fun. they had AC and the messages were really good. and yes we are "real missionaries" lol
well i gotta cheese it. ttyl
