Monday last week: President Rahlf called and I freaked out trying to think of so many reasons why he was calling. Come to find out he just wanted to tell me so many facts about the book of Acts that I was reading. Did you guys know that Luke was the one that wrote it? hahahah it was funny.
Tuesday: I had prayed to have Heavenly Father Help me with my teaching skills because I feel I need to improve. Then for district meeting our lesson was about teaching skills, and asking questions.
We visited an investigator. She is having a tiff with her neighbor. The first thing she says is I wish I was a man. hahahah and then next thing she says. I shouted some things I shouldn't have hahah it was so funny she is super independent, never married, hard working old lady. She has her nieces and nephews live with her as they go to school. She is funny but so down to earth and real. She tells us why everyone is less active. It helps hahah.
Another less active: she has a hard life but she just works though it. She wanted her husband to start doing chores around the house, so that she could rest once she got home. He didn't give much mind. In her closing prayer asked if Heavenly Father if he could change her husband’s mind hahah.
After that I ate bat! hahah our neighbor members went to the caves to catch us bat, Then made it into Adobo Bat. It is a fruit bat so a lot safer and the only part with any meat though is the breast. It was like beef jerky in texture but I loved it. It was good.
WED: Normal Day, got 2 lessons because everyone was gone to the City as we worked in the mountain but it was still fun.
Thursday and Friday: Barfed. We all got sick except my comp. we slept watched Mormon messages. Talked, got blessing, sent the ZL's to grab medicine because there is no place to get medicine in our area and the ZL's area is just next to ours.
Saturday: had a really cool personal study about the Atonement and so did sister Maunana, but I couldn't explain it to her or anything because I cried and I don't know why! It was annoying! hahahah she is like do you feel sad? or bad? and I am like NO. She is like are they tears of Happiness? No not really they are Just Annoying because I can't tell you how awesome my Personal study was! hahaha
In investigator Cecile: in our records she is not married to her husband so we taught LOC and she told us that they are married hahahahah that was kind of awkward hahaha.
After that it was family day (not really but it looked like it) so everyone was having a picnic or had family over so we didn't bother them. Then we had a Baptism interview. She is only 9 and is sometimes distracted during our lessons. So she didn't do a great job we have to review things and her baptism will be next next week. It is ok though now she knows it is serious. hahah
On the way down from the mountain we had to walk, but a Jeepney came that was full of wood for houses and fires (the people had cut it down and filled their Jeepney) and we were with the elders so we jumped on and they dropped us off at the base of the mountain.
SUNDAY: Bore my testimony on the Atonement, and how it makes up for our sickness too. hahaha
Found a new investigator, our referral from last week. They told us that after we left when we first visited; her husband got a Tricy and a job, so they where so much more friendly to us this time and were willing to listen to us. hahah but it was cool. After that meetings.
Beth: active member, but her husband is an active member of another church. They are so cool and such an interesting family. We decide to visit and found out they had randomly adopted a baby!!!!!!!!! hahah they are like 40 but they look like 25 and don't have kids so they now have a BABY. hahah she named him Elijah so that their family will be blessed by the sealing power. She really wants her husband to be a member but it will come he is a nice guy.
Next week: I have interviews with President. It should be good. The next week is a normal week and then Transfers and then October we have Zone Con. and General Conference. November I go to Manila for fingerprinting saying I have been in the country and in December I get to go to the Manila Temple (SO EXCITED FOR THAT) and then home. hahah Weird.
I ate bat!
Coolest cow ever
The local horses are super pretty.

Brown out as we were cleaning our teeth. Every house has so many candles in case of brown out. In Kitibati they use white ash to make their teeth super white so we tried it. it was fun.
