What's up gang!
Word of the Week: Malinis (clean)
We had to hurry and clean our apartment because the people who check housing just randomly showed up, but we cooked under pressure and it was super malinis.
ESPN Top 10 Highlights of the Week:
10. I tripped a baby
, it was really sad. I don't know how it happened, but we were walking and I felt my foot hit something and I looked down and there's a baby that just ate it! The kid sprawled out on the ground and he wasn’t wearing pants! I helped him up and luckily, he wasn’t even scratched. The mom shot me a not very nice look and we were on our way again. I felt really bad.

. The whole bird was formed, it was legit just a baby duck inside an egg. The beak was formed, it had tons of hair, the feet, the eyes, EVERYTHING
... and I ate it, I picked up a tiny bird and ate him whole. That's so gross! He's probably just swimming around in my stomach because I barely chewed before I just gulped him down. I’m gonna name him Stephontarius III.

Also something really gross was in our dish drying rack, on the very bottom I noticed some worm things.
Really small but they were squiggling around and that actually freaked me out. Apparently they’re baby mosquitos, that's what my comp said idk though. They were just swimming in the water and they looked like worms. Worms are my #1 fear, I hate them.

We got dressed up in church clothes to go to a birthday party for this 7 year old because we were invited, and we were so broke that we just went for the food. BUT we were there for 3 HOURS
before the food was even served. I was just listening to some clown talking in Tagalog while I’m sitting in a corner legit starving. It actually frustrated me, and not to mention they played THE SAME happy birthday song for 3 hours! I almost tackled the clown
, but I held off. When we finally got food it was mid, I think they served Pig guts or something idek
. I just ate it and it wasn’t horrible.

Maybe because our electric bill was 2x what it was last time because we’ve run the A/C
. So we have to chill on the air conditioning for a bit, but we don’t have a lot of money going into this next week. More money comes on Friday but we’re already low and it's only Monday. Might have to get a part time job at Jollibee
at this point to support ourselves. j/k

I’m not that excited because obviously I’m gonna be in the PHILIPPINES for Christmas. Not exactly the ideal Christmas vacation spot, but it’ll have to do. They actually set up some pretty decent decorations and play regular music which is nice. But it doesn’t feel like Christmas at all here, maybe because it's still 90 degrees every day. 
It’s still exciting!

The corn dog was fine though, except the hot dogs here are bright red so idk if that's a hazard or what happened there. We made chicken curry which tasted like curry my mom made so it was aight. Nothing to write home about though… Oh wait, I'm writing home about it
!! We ate some type of root plant slime thing and caramel cake which was alright. I have no idea what I’m putting in my body at this point, it's just going down. My body might shut down any minute now.

Rhea Bless and Siean Kristal were confirmed and are now officially members of the Church! 
Really excited for them, that’s actually so awesome. Glad I got to be part of it, that's pretty sweet. If nothing changes we should have 2 more baptisms coming up this Sunday so stay tuned!

We had 2 Elders sleep over at our house yesterday which was pretty fun, one of them I talked to in the MTC. And the other one is from Compton which is crazy. We had a good time, it was nice to have some more company in our apartment, and we made orange chicken from scratch, it was fire
The only thing that wasn’t fire was sharing 2 beds with 3 people.
The only thing that wasn’t fire was sharing 2 beds with 3 people.1.We bought monopoly for ourselves and made the bet that whoever loses has to do the dishes until the next game. Safe to say I’ll never touch a dish again, because I’m the GOAT at monopoly. I still help clean for a bit, but before anyone gets mad at me, it was his idea.
Espiritual na isip (Spiritual Thought):
1 Nephi 15:24- " And I said unto them that it was the word of God; and whoso would hearken unto the word of God, and would hold fast unto it, they would never perish; neither could the temptations and the fiery darts of the adversary overpower them unto blindness, to lead them away to destruction."
I really love this verse which talks about the word of God. We are blessed to be able to find the word of God in many different things and places like church, the scriptures, and living prophets.
There's a really cool and special promised blessing here that I wanted to share. If we harken unto the word and hold fast unto it, we will never perish and the temptations of Satan will have no power over us.
As we listen and apply the word of God to our lives, we will be blessed tremendously and have no more desire to do evil. This is where true conversion comes from, a true desire for the word of God and choosing to apply it to our lives.
It goes along with a quote from our living prophet President Russel M. Nelson- “I promise that as you prayerfully study the Book of Mormon every day, you will make better decisions—every day.”
Just like how we need to eat to keep our bodies healthy and alive, we need to feast on the words of Christ to keep our spirits alive and strong. Every day!
