Its Christmas now, here in the Philippines. Like all souls day (this last holiday in the Philippines close to Halloween) now everybody is going even more christmased out :) its crazy...i seriously feel like christmas break for all you kids still in school is close...however, its still like a whole 'nother month away. So thats pretty crazy...i finally get why my sister likes to play christmas music all the time :) So i just think its funny. Um not too much happened this week, however, the exciting thing that did happen is i, after much, much hesitation, was able to speak on a radio show that the office elders here do. Its called KISS FM 102.7 it was really scary. I was freaking out on the inside...i tried not to show it but im pretty sure everyone could tell. There were only three of us elders and then the radio guys, so we talked about Ang mga Pagtilaw (trials) and usually what happens is we give people our numbers and they text us if they have a question and then we answer the ones we feel we can answer the best in the amount of time we've been given. Then we also chose to a special musical number too, actually duha :) (two) and the first one was "i need thee every hour" the first verse in tagalog and then then in english the others. Then turns out the main guy who was listening really liked the musical number so he asked us to do another one and thankfully we had another one planned so we did "did you think to pray" in english. One of the elders brought his guitar and hes already got like a few of his own CDs so it went way awesome and we sounded like Pro :) it was way sweet.
We also discussed part of the Plan of Salvation and tried to blend it in with our purpose here on earth. Unfortunately, we didnt get a single text, so Elder Christian my companion had to make up one for us...which i didnt know till this morning that he did this, lol but oh well. I was sooooo nervous and my very self conscious of my skills, like the worst id been in a while..but apparently i did pretty good, pero galing (but unfortunately) there is no recording for me to hear, which sucks way bad because i would love to hear it. So dispite myself being way huya (shy) and way hadlok (scared) kag medjo forced ( and somewhat forced against my will, i felt) i committed and did it and did ok. The songs were way fun too...just to like get to sing on the radio was awesome. Definitely cool because i know now i have a voice that could do good on the radio :) But i was definitely was huya of my ilonggo...but the other Elder, Elder Waggoner was way helpful and of course my companion was too. So i am really thankful for their understanding of my kahuya (shyness.) But, so it was good. But i dont know if ill do it again. But i didnt let my low confidence control me this time and i got to talk and sing on the radio. Another cool story for my mission :)
Anyway, thats really all that happened thats important.
Halong Kamo, (take care you all)
The Joys of a mission :)
