I am so jealous of your trip! That sounds like it was way fun!

On Tuesday we had our District meeting which was great! After that we went to the "mall" in the zone next to ours to withdraw our support money. When we got there Elder Cambell gave us each 125 pisos for lunch so we didnt have to pay for it! That was supper nice of him. So we went to a new place instead of our usually McDonalds. It was actually really good! I have sirloin steak and rice. It was only 120 pisos. While we were there one of the Elders got squid and let me have some! It tasted kinda funny haha. Then after that we had 2 appointments before we had to go back for lock down. Both of them had food for us so we were all stuffed. Later that night we watched narnia. Then around 10 all of our neighbors started to party...They have a ton of speakers and it was sooo loud! We decided to go out in our patio thing and watch fireworks. There was a ton and all of our neighbors were lighting them off.

New years day was just as good! Every appointment we had the people gave us food!! I have never been so full in my life. I may need to do the biggest loser thing too...

On Friday I went on a split with Elder Defacto. The other Filipino Elder in my apartment. It was good. We went and worked in his area. He had me do a lot of the teaching which I really enjoyed because i will just say what i know in Tagalog and then ask him how to say something and he helps me so i can keep teaching. He is really good at english so that makes a big difference.

Saturday was my comps B-Day. We went to Presidents house for lunch and it ended up being a party and we were there forever! Then we went to our dinner appointment so we didnt get to do to much work that day.

On Sunday I went on a split with the Branch mission leader. That was way fun. I really enjoy working with him because he loves to work! We got 5 lessons in 3 hrs. I also got to be the lead so I was the one teaching the lessons. That was kind of hard cause im still not all that great at Tagalog and dont understand what people say half the time because they talk so dang fast! He was great though and taught me a bunch of Tagalog.

Then today we went and played basketball with the Elders in our zone (8 of us) and the Branch president of the Zl's zone. It was way fun and i love playing here cause everyone is worse then i am so it makes me look like im good haha. All the Filipinos love basketball. They always want to play on P-day. We played Americans vs. Filipinos haha and we won both times.

I love you all.
