A Missionary's Work: Who To Be

1/8/2018

So hey guys sorry for the two weeks I've been gone, but with holidays here we've not been able to email. 

 

So a lot has happen that's funny this week, mostly involving drunk people. 

 

So at #3 it's while going to a meeting and having to last minute pay for our electricity bill in a hurry. We got our like 90 year old trike driver to pay our bill for us (so the wait went from 1hr to 5mins, #seniorlanesrock! haha). 

 

#2 my companion an I had left our key at a members house and instead of "tao po-ing" (knocking in the pilipinas) he walks strait in and out with a horrified face because he almost saw a member naked haha. He says he's scarred. 

 

#1 while walking to an appointment we met an absolutely wasted guy who could barely stand. He started to speak broken English and never realized we were speaking Tagalog the whole time. He also went on about this big storm that's coming and he's going to sleep a few mins before hand and other crazy stuff. The funny part was his accent and wording while stumbling ha. 

 

Anyways these past weeks have been great for thinking, I had a good time self-evaluating. I thought about who I want to be, not the kind of "be" like to be a fireman or space man, but something more like attributes I want to gain and make part of me. I then thought of all my big role models and thought about why they were role models and what attribute I see in them that I want to learn. I pondered these things and wrote them down for this new year. It became more important to me, I have plans and goals for "be-ing"  that better person. I look to my g-pa for amazing charity and love to all people, to mom for loving compromise and support, to coach for overcoming hard things like mental blocks or other, to my g-pa for hard work and so many other people they all have affected me so much and I strive to learn and "be" some of these attributes I've seen in my role models. 

 

I love you all and suggest to review who you want to "be". 

P.s.- no pics my sd card fried last week haha love ya'll!!
