Hello everyone! This week I got a little bit more used to the big city. I still can't figure out the whole jeepney route, but hey that's what I have a companion for. This area is really progressing and even though we were so busy with our first MLC, and exchanges, typhoon type weather, and flooding, and more sickness, we are amazed at the people that seem to pop out of nowhere for us to teach. (I asked her if she had showers and hot water now that she is in the big city?) "I still have good ole bucket showers whoot, and no, you never get hot water here haha." This week Sister Christensen and I also switched places. I was sick all last week and she was sick all this week. It all happened when we went to go visit a cute family that has a barbecue stand where they sell chicken feet, dinuguan (pigs blood), and tinae (chicken intestines). We stopped to talk and decided we should probably buy something....we went with the tinae. Later we came to find out it wasn't fully cleaned on the inside of the intestines, because Sister Christensen's stomach started hurting. Even with all of that we still saw so many miracles. One of those miracles is the Tuerca family, Edgardo, and his two sons, Richie and Allen. We met them a couple of weeks ago, while their father was pumping water to do laundry. They are so pure. I can't think of any other word to describe them. Everything we teach clicks for them and I have never had someone I'm teaching, love the Book of Mormon as much as they do. They all came to church, and accepted baptismal dates for September. The only problem is, Edgardo wants to be baptized on his birthday in October, but Allen stopped, looked at him, and said layo gid ina! (That's so far away!) Hopefully we can just convince him to get the Melchizedek Priesthood on his birthday and get baptized sooner haha. This week we also had the baptism of a cute 9 year old girl named Maxim. The end of last transfer her grandpa came to the missionaries, and asked if she could be baptized. She has been going to church for years now,and everyone just thought she was a member. We started teaching her everyday last week,and this Saturday she finally became an official member. Time is flying by.... I'm loving every minute of being a missionary! Love you all! Have a great week! Sister Adams
