well i'm still in himamaylan. i'm pretty sure that is through revelation or maybe of me asking president if i could stay. i am also still with elder reyes. this week i baptized Jovenal Roa Rocero.
a few nights back i ate a fruit called babana, it tasted pretty good even though it smells a little weird. i went to bed and woke up smelling something nasty, after a few seconds of contemplation, i found out that it was my own breath. i still like babana.
i have gotten in touch with my creative side and have become very resourceful when it comes to everyday living basically out of necessity. it's also a good way of recycling, like all the tire uses, in america, they just throw that stuff away but it's totally useful. like an animal watering bowl or a sign stand. basta, you learn to be creative. and you learn how to make a lot of things on your mission.
for pictures that future missionaries might want to include in their luggage:
the main purpose of these pictures is not to be trunky but rather to show to members and others what your life was like back at home. i happened to forget to bring any pictures at all. but just had some printed out here anyways.
things to bring/prepare before a mission
in other news, while i was writing this, fat mike rolled over in his bed and an earthquake shook the building and everybody booked it outside. i was the last one out because i was walking. surprisingly, i was actually really calm. i just let everyone run and fall over chairs in front of me while i walked out. i guess it was from all those annoying fire drills in school. it was funny watching the computer moniter shake, i thought all the computers were about to fall over and break. as soon as i walk out the door, i turn back around and said "tapos na" (it's done) and walked back inside. not too scary but just a lil reminder that i am on an island in the middle of the ocean with an inactive volcano... also, aftershock a few minutes after that. i didn't get out of my chair.
well back at home, there is some sad news but life goes on. my grandma died sometime in this past week. i'm not exactly sure what the cause was but it doesn't really matter. she was 88 years of age.. old people die, that's what happens when we get old. it's just another part of life. i'm sure that the doctors did everything they could to make her feel comfortable before she left this world. although i didn't know her too well, (she spoke Spanish) i will miss her. my fondest memory of her was we i was a about 3 feet tall and we were at my uncles house and i fell asleep next to her. i don't remember to much but i do remember that.
