silly scripture of the week is Deuteronomy 22:5

we had 6 baptisms last week. woot! their names are; Ma. Elana Eladia Besa, Jonel Bryan Dujale, Jericho Alvarez Rocero, Jerickyll Alvarez Rocero, Jonalee Alvarez Rocero, Kristel Kim Alvarez Rocero. they're a good family and fun to be around.

me and my companion are doing alright. no real problems anymore.

last week i saw a flipped sugar cane truck, i loled. it's actually not that uncommon. the semi truck drivers here are actually VERY careless and most of the time VERY drunk and drive VERY fast. so it's good to stay as far away from the street as possible because it's VERY dangerous. riding on trikes is how i get along and it's kinda safe. i ride on them standing up and it's like riding a chariot.

this last week, around the time that people were eating turkey in america, i was bitten by a mosquito carrying the dengue virus. because like i said, the house is infested with mosquitoes. well dengue sucks. it's like having LBM but worse. fortunately the worst has passed and i showed that dengue whose boss around these parts. even with dengue i was able to perform the baptism. you just gotta keep on keeping on. the worst part was when i had a fever of 102 and there was no water. stupid water companies here are useless. i could go on for hours about how ridiculous the water companies are here. but the whole dengue thing isn't very safe so i need to watch it closely. also elder lopez had sore eyes which also sucks and is contagious.

at our house, we have a moma mary statue which i toss my leftovers at and the cats outside eat them. they are very big on worshipping statues here. weird considering that one of the ten commandments is not to worship. dogs sometimes wander in our yard too but they scare easily. i don't even need to throw a rock, the dogs in the Philippines see you pretend to pick up a rock and they'll start running.

there is a nice drink that i like here. i just call it buko (which is coconut) it is; coconut milk, coconut rind, sugar. and condensed milk. it's pretty good.

well anyways i gotta go and teach that dengue a lesson.
