(I was looking through the letters and adding dates, when I realized this one never got put on the blog.)
so this week was good still not so sure why the people feel like they need to feed their babies while we are teaching. so monday night we had a branch FHE and they asked us to teach about families being together forever. and we had 2 investigators there who we were going to teach the plan of salvation to the next day, i was like hey i have a pamphlet about that! so i hadn't taught that lesson yet in warry-warry but elder andrus wouldn't talk he just drew on the board and i was able to teach the whole thing and answer questions as well! it was cool! so now I've taught the plan of salvation like 4 or 5 times this week. one of our investigators is going to seminary and committed to baptism on the 22 of october but we may have to move it if her friend doesn't come to church. i think they want to join together so that will be nice to have a baptism. and so elder andrus had a meeting on thursday in Tacloban so i stayed in dulag with elder bondock who lives in our apartment with us and elder nelson who serves in abuyog. i had to plan out our whole day and i had to know where everything was. the hard thing is in abuyog they speak cebuano, so elder nelson speaks cebuano. and elder bondock only speaks tagalog. so it was interesting 3 languages in one lesson it was hard because i can follow cebuano but not tagalog. i only understood a little of it so it made it harder for me than the investigators. but it was good we got a lot done and didn't have anyone tell us they were to busy or not be home like normal. so really the rest of the week was cool elder nelsons companion ended up in the hospital after his health check in tacloban so elder nelson was with us for another day and ended up needing to go to tacloban as well because he had sores on his foot and his eye was all swollen up when he woke up and he couldnt open it. so we took him to tacloban and headed to tolosa for the family week celebration activity. it was cool we played games and ate and spent time with members and some lady was following us around taking pictures of the Americans playing basketball kinda weird. they were trying to hide it but i could hear the noise it made and see the flash from the camera. so then saturday we did a lot of walking and only got to teach once all day. we walked about 35 kilometers this week its awesome! so sunday we went from 5 investigators at church to 0 and 43 members to 30 again. yay but its ok there is always another week to come. i cant wait! oh and so we have this buang nga lalaki gawas ha amon apartment and elder bondock named him don armando he is literally crazy and he started living outside our apartment a few weeks ago. and he laughs all the time and yells at his feet about how they stole his wife and kids its funny sometimes but also kind of scary. he started coming in our gate and peeing on the pile of rocks outside and the other elders started yelling gawas na don he started laughing and went back outside the gate. yay not sure what to do though we are going to get district t-shirts that have a picture of him and don armando and put bawal umihi didto which is tagalog for it is prohibited to be peeing here. its awesome, its on all the walls and i saw it today while we were playing pool inside the building. this morning we invited our investigators who are the dulag grand champions for basketball to play it was cool. only one of them came and me elder andrus elder bondock and his companion elder zarrate played with him against some kids who were skiping school. it was fun, ive never been so tired from one game of basketball before in my life. i guess after 6 weeks of not playing an actual game is getting to me. and its super humid right now. we ran in to a baptist missionary earlier who told us there is a typhoon coming through! oh well just a month or two more and its rainy season and it will rain ever day for 3 months! yay! oh well i love you and miss you all and keep up the good work i cant wait to see you all again but thats ok this is going super fast im almost worried i wont be able to do enough in only 2 years but as long as im always working i know it will be ok. well oh and if you send another package can you send a couple pairs of contacts and solution for p days thanks if you can and im not so sure how mail works yet but im trying to figure it out so letter should be coming pretty soon but it will take about 2 weeks to get there
