Maayong Hapon! I always start the same way, but this week was great too. My favorite part of the week was getting to teach Andres. His entire family are members but he has just never been quite ready for the gospel until now. Right now he has such a desire to change and become a better father. It's cool to see the whole family become stronger because of his change of heart. He has a baptismal date for March 23. To be honest this week went by so fast, and I can't remember much of what happened. But let me tell you what Sunday was a struggle. It started out well though. We had church and Andres and his entire family continue to come together. They are the best. After we headed out to work. It was so weird because every person we went to teach, they just wanted to feed us instead. No joke, we had 3 meals in between lunch and Dinner and we felt bad saying no after they insisted. By the 3rd meal I felt so sick and to make it all the worse he came out with Valenciana (yellow sticky rice that they mix in all of their left over food, so you never know what your eating) Palagpat gid. He left to go get drinks so I had a few minutes to figure out what to do, Sister Sales can't stand it either so she wouldn't eat it, there was no place to throw it and I definitely couldn't eat it or I might throw up. I got so desperate I took the plate and dumped my sticky rice into the front pocket of my bag. Sister Sales lost it, she couldn't stop laughing even after he came back in. So just so you all know I'll be spending some of my p-day cleaning out my stinky bag haha. I love this work. I love being a missionary. Love you all. Halong pirme. Sister Adams Some of the sweet kids from a family that they are teaching. Em loves them of course! She told me their names, but she told me as we were talking on messenger, and with all of the excitement, I forgot. This was our first time since the announcement that missionaries could call. It was so much fun to see this beautiful face, and to hear her speak the language with her companion and the people in the house. She is so happy! the sweet people whose house she is in are members. They brought her pineapple juice while we talked. A strange looking apple and some chips. I can't remember what she called them. Sweetest people!
