Hey!!

This week was pretty interesting. Now that im officially clear form
pnemonia and able to work. We're really getting work done. We have a
baptism lined up for this the 24 and its awesome cause the guys really
cool :) and hes been waiting for this for a long time :) then also E.
Williamson had his birthday this week he turned 21 on the 7th and so
on satuday we celebrated and for my birthday present to him i ate
balut (baloot)....i was really cautious at fisrt to promise him that i
would on saturday...but i did and he said its no big deal because it
literally tastes like egg....like literally...even though its an
aborted duck..it tastes like egg. So heres how you do it...you crack
open the top and then drink the juice inside the egg..then you peel it
off like a boiled egg and then you eat the duck seperate from the hard
stuff that they call cartilage but idk if it is...but anyway and you
eat the cartilage later...and thats pretty much it. :) It really wasnt
that bad.
So here is another fact about the Philippines:
Gay people are in abundance here...and they are the main comedians
and in a lot of tv shows and movies espeacially one called "Show time"
its really crazy how open they are here...many of them dress like
woman too and carry around purses and stuff. But there really are a
lot of them.
Oh yah ive lost some wieght so thats awesome since i got pnemonia and
didnt eat too much...i lost some weight and everyone keeps noticing it
lol...so im gonna work out more to continue to lose it :) so i can
look great when i come home :) oh yah and E. Unabia gave me a second
balut to eat...which i did hesitantly...so that was funny...the second
one was harder to eat but i still ate it...it was great :) i got it
all on video too :) Ive been out for 9 weeks and thats crazy in
itself...that 4 months of my total mission gone...crazy. 9 weeks in
the MTC and 9 here...thats crazy...oh well thats pretty much all thats
gone on this week thanks for all of you who read this....hope i keep
you "updated" and satisfied...oh yah our fridge broke and created a
huge mess of water and wouldnt keep anything cold...so a bishop from a
ward in our area came over and is fixing it...but itll take 3
days...so for three days we wont have a fridge...or freezer which
sucks cause you need that espeacially in the Philippines...so yah
there thats it.
