silly scripture of the week is Exodus 32:19-20

well things have improved in the house and I'm no longer at ends with my companion. it was a lot of the cultural differences between American and Filipino elders. it is something that every American elder has trouble with.
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt,
His name is my name too.
Whenever we go out,
The people always shout,
HEY JOE

Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer

well i've hit the point of no return in my mission. i'm at my halfway point in my mission. or i'm starting the junior year of my mission. i've done a lot of work but now i'm going to have to step up soon.... i don't want to. i've had a lot of success so far 26 baptisms aint to shabby.

thoughts right now have turned to what is going on back at home but i never get any news from home so there isn't much to think about. pretty soon i'll be going home and then i'll have to figure out how to work and live in the real world. maybe i'll go back to the college and career center to figure out what to do. maybe also go to the honors center to try to get a scholarship. maybe return to long snapping and try that and maybe walk on somewhere.

some nice foods that i like here are.

Uga - dried fish jerky, deep fried
Barquillo - kinda like a straw but made out of bread
Yumi - cake with egg filling

we had a christmas ward party a few days back. it was fun and great. i had a lot of the young women in the ward hit on me.it happens a lot here in the philippines. they love my big nose.
