Letter #58 (Sept 12, 2012)

Hey all, so thanks for getting those things for me... but again... you forgot the gravy recipe. Ok ra... but can you please get it to me for next week. And I thought I remembered pikelets being a lot easier to make... aw well... pancakes na lang. So this week has been AWESOME!!! we got 28 lessons in the week, as well as 153 i2ls and then we had 141 people attend sacrament meeting. We played basketball with the members one morning for exercise. We have been fed about 5 times this last week and have free electricity and water in the house (even though the water was way claro this last week and kept coming on and off periodically)... we are having so much fun and working so hard... I have never felt so tired as i have here in the " big city". So I got some pics for you all... of me and my comp. and of our house... then of this old Nanay that built her own weaving machine thingo-ma-jiggy... so yeah... So this last week its been raining almost every night here, which is nice kay it gets nice and cool in the evening for when we sleep. Last Thursday we had training from the zls, it was really good and so the focus of district meeting is now doing workshops from PMG. Then after the training meeting we went to this one area and had a less active member help us find this one sister that has not been to church for 9 years since she married her husband and he has a problem for some reason with her going to church... way claro bana... and then she prayer at the end of the lesson and cried and then just yesterday as well... she really wants to come back to church but her bana is just way claro. Then we have another family that we walked to church with sister and her 5 kids... it was the first time in 9 years she had been to church. It was an amazing experience. And then one of our investigators ended up in hospital with "dentry" (???) but we gave her a blessing before she went in and then while she was there and she seems to be doing okay now. Then we had PEC on Sat, and I got volunteered to teach piano this coming 22 and now have to figure out how I'm gonna do that. What else... oh, you'll be proud mum... we cleaned the balay and almost have the CR (Terri here: This is the toilet!) clean and spotless... we ran out of muratic acid, but now we bought some so hopefully this week it will be clean and I will take photos to show how clean it looks once we are done. So we've been pretty busy and all over the place this week. But it has been great! Its fun and tiring and a different experience to the bukid, for sure. So that's it for this week... miss you gamay, Love you daghan, Elder Taylor Addison Cox
