So this week was cool. I finally understand the majority of what is said, though I can't really speak. The people (mga tao) are amazing and I absolutely love them. We have a brother who is a trike driver, who is always there if we need him, for rides, for advice, for everything. Today he told us that if he makes enough money today, he wants to treat us to dinner, then after we got home and I was talking with kasama ko, he told me how his electircity was turned off. Dahil, he is the lone provider for the three households as a trike driver. He is an amazing person, he was willing to give to us though his family needs, now this is a truly selfless person that we could all learn from. We had another binyag (baptism). Brother Hubert and his brother will be binyag this Saturday. They are amazing too.

So for culture time. Always shake the right hand because they don't use toilet paper here... and carry hand sanitizer. The food is a variety from bulot (mostly developed chick), to chocolate, to chicken, to chicken blood. Also rice is part of every meal. I haven't had a meal without rice yet. Though on the subject of food, I had the best hamburger that I've ever had, surprisingly. Today I found out that you need to look at the trike a little before you take one. We were on our way to email and I saw a little (big) friend in the corner with us. Also, spiders are used as gambling here, they put them on a stick and have them fight.

The spiritual thought today is about family. The family is so important to society and God. A family should be united and loving. God gave us families. A home should be a place of love, peace and beauty. It's a place to take cover from the world and refill spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally. I love my family and know that they will support me in all things.
See ya next week, stay Ayos!
p.s. Families are important to missionary work (service too)
