Feb 26 - A slow week

Climbing a "puno nga buco" or coconut tree

A river we have to cross

So pretty much I typed a huge letter just barely and it got deleted so I will try to redo it. This week we had a lot of funny stories. For example we talked to a guy on the street while we were tracting and he said “stop” to us...so we were like “why” and he said if he talked to the Mormons that a storm would come and flood and wipe out his rice fields. Haha, it was funny. We also went to what is called a "fiesta" which is similar to a block party in America. It is held once a year and people in a barangay just cook a ton of food and everyone then eats it haha. It is pretty awesome. Also mom thanks for the kitchen towel things you sent me because I sweat so much, now I just carry a towel with me to wipe my face haha. Things here are going pretty well. This week was somewhat slow but oh well. Thanks mom for sending me the missionaries names every week it is way fun to see who is leaving soon. By the way who is getting married? Trevor Reynolds (burkes son) or Travis Reynolds (Alan’s son) and when is it? Either way that is crazy haha. I thought of a few things for my next package. Some floss for braces. Like the kind that are hard on one end so you can thread it through for my permanent retainer. Also, some chicken seasoning, like Montreal or whatever we have at the house, because I am getting so sick of eating the same things every day. Third, some contact solution and a case. Just one bottle of solution because that will last me a long time, then if I ever need more I will ask. Hey dad that is cool you got to see that baseball game. Did KC just walk on or what? It is okay about the box,I figured you would open it when you got it haha. For general conference here we have to wait one week. We watch it in San Jose(about 15-20 minute jeep ride) at the stake center. That’s crazy that all those guys are coming home. I remember when they left and it seems so fast. Anyway I love you dad. Thanks for everything. You are a stud. Hey Barb I am glad you like your things. You opened it early but that’s okay. I can’t believe you are getting so big. If you want anything else just let me know! I love you! It is good to hear things are going well for everyone. Is elder Rebman home? Anyway i will talk to you next week. I love you all!
