2017-4-2 Mt. Everest

Kumusta po!

This week we climbed Mt. Everest! No guides nor oxygen, we didn't even have ice picks! 

 After church last last week we had lunch at a member's brand new home as part of their blessing of them home/birthday party. Then we taught all day and on the way home, they saw us passing by and called us back in, so we had dinner there too. Awesome to spend some time with the members!

 I got to go on exchanges one day with another Elder, we had a great time, even though the heavens opened up in a downpour where one moment it was sweltering heat and blue skies. I saw an American visiting here and talked to him for a moment, it was a little strange to talk about the church in english, but it was okay! In the Philippines, you just walk up and ask a question like "where are you headed?" and it's completely normal, you don't really need to ask their name until you have figured out how many siblings and kids they have, plus where their from  and what their job is. it's a very friendly culture/language, you just act like your best friends with someone and they will respond the same way normally.

 We roasted some barbeque where we do our laundry as part of celebration...

We got to have dinner with our Mission President and his wife! We ate some of the best lasagna I've ever tasted. While the Americans were savoring this Italian dish, my companion was saying this food wasn't right for his mouth, and he was wondering where the rice was...

For my companion's one year mark! This means he has 1 year left, it's downhill from here!

That's all for now folks, I gotta run! Thanks for reading, I love you all! Can't wait to watch general conference and listen to some living prophets next weekend!
