Ito ay aking ibinibigay sa inyo... inside joke. So how's it going? I am really not too sure what to say sometimes- or how to say it- ENGLISH is hard! Anyway I won't complain about that. This week was GREAT, as usual. But it is getting HOT! Summer is almost here, which means two things, one good, one bad. The bad, IT IS GONNA GET HOT NA HOT! The good, MANGOS NA! So yeah, that is where I am at now. So right before emailing we ate a nice p-day lunch, I didn't know what I wanted because it all looked SOO GOOD! So the Nanay suggested I try the SHARK! I said, SIGI! meaning OKAY! IT WAS DIVINE! My goodness these people know how to cook. I will miss the food here, anyway Shark is delicious. Another story... we were in our farthest area... nothing but buko and palayan. When suddenly I had a case of the swift and mighties! It was about the time of my 6 months in the Philippines, they say you usually will have to change your pants before then at least once. I was wearing my brown pants... which could have come in handy. But we rushed to the Jove family (they're members) and I asked where the CR was, luckily there was already water there and we didn't have to pump the well or I wouldn't have made it. BUT I DID MAKE IT! 6 months and no emergency so far! But I tell you no man has ere been closer to disaster. The amount of privacy at that "bathroom" was about a 3 out of ten, and I'll give it a 4 for cleanliness. Anyway, pinoy na ako so nothing affects me now. Last week we stopped by Bishop Arce's house to ask some questions about the area, when we got there no one was home but Sister Arce's brother (non-member). He's from Manilla and was staying there for a few months, he stays there a lot daw. Anyway, we started to teach him while we were there about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The lesson was awesome. The spirit was tangible, as it usually is when you share the experience of Joseph Smith. Anyway he came to church and like everything... but now he's back in Manilla for a month or two. Good thing there are missionaries there too. I can't wait til he comes back. I love teaching LESSON 1! I could teach lesson one for two years straight and not get sick of it... oh yeah that's pretty much what we do... haha. It is amazing how the Holy Ghost comes in these lessons. All it requires is a soft enough heart to feel it. Anyway I don't know how to speak well in English anymore... I am in a state of not perfect Tagalog and just "don't know how to express myself english" haha. Oh well. Well the time is short today, and I need to be going on. ALSO, it's almost Valentines Day! So MOM will you be my Valintine??? Hahaha. In most missionaries handbook they carry a picture of their girlfriend, in mine it is of you Mom (the only girl that writes every week)! Mahal kita! Tapos, Mom you asked me some questions, the first one was do I have clean running water... yes, but it takes about one full minute to fill up a small water bottle. The unfiltered water pressure is pretty good, but that water can be sketchy... good thing I only shower my self in it everyday haha. And the second question... "Elder Davis, how are your shirts so white?" Well, I am a dang good scrubber haha. Paglalaba is what I do! Just give me a bucket, water, and soap and I'll hand wash that thing until it is white as snow! Anyway yeah, I really enjoy doing laundry now... bikolono na ako! The pictures, that's the biggest spider so far- bigger than my hand- and I touched it! A member (Larry) told me to. IT was terrifying. Tapos, I got the OLD SPICE! Look at your missionary now back at me. You are looking at the missionary your missionary could smell like. Also, remember Elder Vogelsberg's and mine aweseome BYU/Superman picture that went viral? Well BYU Athletics sent us shirt because we're awesome! Cool? We think so. Well I gotta go. I love you all and pray for you daily. I feel your prayers for me, thank you. Nothing is more important than this Gospel, hold on to it like your eternity depends on it! Elder Davis P.S. Tell Braxton Brown my "Mexican Bull" to email me. Namimiss ko siya!
