Hey everyone!

How was everyone's Thanksgiving? I hope great! I made spaghetti not even thinking about it, then the next day I talked to some other missionaries and they asked what we did for Thanksgiving. I said nothing, then I thought about it and I said oh, I made spaghetti, (we don't usually have spaghetti) ha ha

Things are still good over here in the Philippines, they have been talking a lot lately about the upcoming election. I guess the governor of the Philippines had a bunch of people killed that were gonna run against him in the next election. I was astonished when I heard that, I thought that politics in the US were dirty! ha ha

Oh, then last week we had a brown out (black out) I dunno why they call them brown outs but it was because the workers went on strike because they wanted the manager to step down. They said that it was going to last until Dec 3 and I thought I was gonna die! ah it was so hot that night! then the next evening it came back on! we were all excited!

Yesterday in church I spent the day in Primary! Can you believe it!? I can't believe I made it through. Holy cow there were some rowdy kids in there! ha Elder Erispe ran the stuff then I just kinda helped and tried to keep my cool!

On the bright side we had 8 investigators at church yesterday! it was so great! One of them was Sister Jane Fontillas, the sister who will be baptized this upcoming Saturday! We are so excited for her.

I had the opportunity to go on splits last week with an elder who I wasn't really fond of, we used to live with him before we transferred to our San Marcelino apartment, he was always joking and I didn't think he knew how to take anything serious then when we were working I saw a totally different side of him! It was amazing and I learned a lot from him! It just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover. I went into that split with an open mind and hoped for the best and it turned out great.

The crazy food for this week was chicken head, it wasn't that great. Its far to boney for my taste. I'll stick with the other stuff. ha ha.

Well I'm outta time! so I love you all! take care and until next week.
