Hello!

  Talking to you guys on Christmas was great! It was good being able to see all of you. For Christmas here we didnt really do to much. I woke up and did my laundry haha then for the first part of the day our zone came to Mabini because i guess we have the best internet and they wanted to skype. So thats what the Filipinos did. It was really boring until Elder Doney and I decided to go out and work because our comps said that no one would want to listen to us and didnt want to work. So we went out and taught. One family liked us so much they invited us over on Jan.1 for a new years lunch!

Christmas eve was a lot more fun! We went to our Branch Presidents house. We had a huge dinner and played games with them. I tried the "1 day old chicken" It was super gross! But all the other food was good! We even had some sparkling grape juice. Earlier that day we had district meeting and then our apartment checks. Elder and Sister Cambell brought us food cause they knew our apartment was great!

Here there arent to many decorations because people cant afford them. They do pay Christmas music all the time though and its the American ones so that makes me super trunkie. If people do have decorations they are small and only the more wealthy people have lights.

On Friday my comp was sick again...It was a super bring day! Days we arent able to work always seem to take forever to end!

Saturday and Sunday were both busy days with a lot of lessons. Not really anything to interesting though. We have 3 investigators and several first lessons this week.

Tomorrow we have lock down because its New years eve and i guess people go crazy here haha so we are going to watch Narnia because President said we could! Thats exciting haha

Thats pretty much it. Manigong Bagong Taon! Happy New year!
