so i have only seen porter once and it was the day he got here. (porter is another cousin, he's headed to Guatemala) he has a completely different schedule than me, i have been really looking hard too. but i did talk to Lisa (a friend from Memphis) and i see her every once in a while. i would really like to see porter some more mason gave me some stuff to give him and its in my backpack.
but any way, i told you a few weeks ago my favorite scripture and it was the wrong verse its not verse 6 its verse 8. i really like it. so just wondering if you guys got my letter and pictures i sent on Thursday. i really hope to get some more out today but I'm not making any promises. the temple is reopened so we are going to the temple instead of chillin in the room. i m really glad we are able to attend the temple this week. we had a great speaker, he spoke to us a few weeks ago. he is in charge of making those cheesy commercials the church put out before but, it was really funny he played some of them for us.
so this week i have really been down about not memorizing words fast enough. i was only getting like 15 a day and i decided to put a goal in place for the district to pray before all of our studies and it has really helped i was able to get 43 words the first day and 63 the next. my goal was only 120 words this week and i already have 150 its crazy how the lord can help, but he may not help unless we ask him too and show we truly want his help. so this last week we had our first all cebuano TRC and so we prepared and i was feeling pretty good about it but then no investigators showed up so we didnt get to teach so hopefully this week we will be able to teach. (the MTC has members come and pretend to be non members for the missionaries to teach)
we as a district have also decided we need to only speak cebauno unless we don't know the word because we are supposed to be an example to the new district that comes in tomorrow. we got one new guy already from australia he already knows so much. but any way we are getting 22 new cebuano elders and sisters it will be awesome to have more people to talk to but they are only supposed to hear cebuano from us and their teachers for the first 2 weeks so it ll be fun seeing the new curriculum in place.
so this week i have become a three way companionship again. elder lieshmans kauban went home last wednesday, very sad but he knew it was what needed to be done and i feel he is a great man and think he would have made a great elder. and i know he will be able to teach people even though he isn't going to be serving a mission. so now me, elder mits and elder garver are all companions and although its wierd since me and elder mits have been together for a while and know how to teach with each other i know we will learn to adapt, its what we are called to do.
well i love you and want you all to know i pray for you all every night.
well until next week,
Ayo, Ayo!!(The only pictures I have, he has sent. I don't have a scanner, but I will try and add some)
