Being Grateful For What We Have

Captain Moroni
not too much happened this week. our super fellowshipper went home! sayang! but he told us he will come back in a month. haha he really loves his family and friends here. haha. If every member was as active at missionary work as he is, the world would have been converted by now. haha! reminds me of captain moroni. haha!
                                                       
Longanisa Fesitval – Sausage time
other than that we have continued to teach the investigators that he has referred to us. some have punted us. haha. He was the only reason they let us in thier houses. haha but some of them have really good potential. we are going to extend bapt. dates to all of them this week. Our old progressing ivestigators have dissapointed us a little bit. Bro. Allen(the artist/clay master) was busy all week making a float for a parade this week. and our other progressing  bro.Prince practiced all week for his drumming thing in the parade this week! so we were never able to teach them and they also weren't able to come to church this week. agh!

this week is the Longanisa festival.(longanisa-sausage thing that vigan is famous for.) they will have a parade and activities everyday in vigan (folk dance competitions and band competions). too bad that is not our area. haha. we wont be able to see any of it. hopefully our schedule wont be affected by it. haha. we almost reached standard this week and next week we really want to get it! haha.

No TV

this week i had a wierd expereince haha! yesterday actualy. me and elder Tanner went on splits with two of the elders quorum. the brother that went with me brought his car! haah i felt rich haha. it was super nice..... anyways our last apointment was at a house where they only speak ilocano and they are also super poor(no TV). so my fellowshipers had to translate everything i said in tagalog into ilocano. but that isnt the wierd part. the wierd part happened after. we were driving back to meet up again with elder tanner, when my comp. bro mark told me that he has never been inside a house without a TV! haha he thought that there wasn't any people in vigan without one! haha! i felt like i had just shown him the rough side of the town! haha like i had opened his eyes and changed his perspective of vigan! haha i couldn't believe that he has never been in a house without a tv. there are so many people who don't have one haha!
