So. its week 6...wow my first offical first transfer in the field :)
Um this week was pretty slow. Not much happened, although my legs were
pretty sunburned and they ended up being being swollen pretty bad that
i had to take a sick day...but once i started soaking them in ice
water they went down dramtically and that was nice. Im sooo happy too
cause it feels nice to walk normal and not have cankles lol. We are
struggling a bit though this week just cause people wont keep thier
commitments and so we have to start tracting to find new investigators
just cause like ours are way sweet...but there is one thing that would
help them and thats all they have to do...but they wont do it...so
they arent progressing it sucks. But oh well. we'll be okay. Its neem
kinda haot lately and well the hot season is next month so we'll see
where it goes.
Oh yah so here are some wierd customs: It is normal in a public
restraunt to eat food with your hands like full on, you need to say
"Tug balay" to call someone to their home and then wait for them to
say "sunod" which means enter and then you can walk into thier house.
For small talk while walking people ask you "diin ka magkadto?" (where
are you going) and then its normal conversation to ask someone "pilang
idad mo?" (how old are you). That's all i can remembere right now
that you guys dont know. Oh yah also people constantly talk or laugh
with their mouth open or talk with it open.......oh yah and people
STARE like crazy at you...like someonestimes for a minute straight.
So, there thats all ic an remeber now. Heres a few pictures :)
