Another week down the drain here in the Philippines. We grinded like crazy this week but dang it felt kinda long. But its aight we're still killing it
Word of the week: kawawa (poor/pitiful)
“He's freaking kawawa” - Elder Docilidad
ESPN Top 10 Highlights of the week:
10 My parents sent me a blender via Amazon!! It's actually so clutch, the first few days I would make chocolate protein shakes and they were so firee
UNFORTUNATELY, on day 3 of using it, I was blending in the dark and noticed a light in the back when I clicked blend. but there's no light… Upon further inspection it was sparks
and there was smoke coming from the vents… I was scared that thing was gonna blow up in my face. So it lasted about 2 days. RIP

So it lasted about 2 days. RIP9 This morning I almost died. It was probably like 6:15 in the morning so I was still dazed from some horrible sleep because it was SO hot last night. Had to dip into the bank and use A/C. Anyways I'm showering and I see something move really fast out of the corner of my eye. And there's a fat old lizard on the wall
And our bathroom is really small so no matter where you stand you're too close to the walls. I was tweaking out, and if that thing jumped on me I would've probably spazzed out and died
I thought it was gonna run into my clothes that were hanging on the wall so I quickly finished and legit SPRINTED out of there. Bro ruined my morning

Bro ruined my morning 8 I'm gonna get obese. I swear I include pandasal (bread roll) in every email, but I'm actually addicted. 2₽ for 1 roll is a STEALLL and it's hot. We legit went every day this week I think… Like holy I have a problem. The lady that works there knows us now. We went twice one day and she said “you again?” Like yes Bro help me, please ban me from your restaurant.
7 We made brownies this week that were actually fire. We don't have an oven so we just used a microwave. And we cooked them in a tin pan which is probably not the safest thing to do but it ended up working out just fine. So we got to eat brownies in the Philippines cause they don't have any here
6 We got invited to an old lady cookout!! It was pretty hype, Just like 6 old ladies, like 65+. They made us spaghetti and bought us lechon chicken so it was pretty fire. The nanays were just chatting it up and gossiping and we were just hyping up their cooking. It was so good though.
5 I got some Christmas letters this week! Yeah it's February but it was pretty nice to get a ton of cards from the Relief Society in my home town ward. So shout out to them- Thank you!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!4 We've been staying up to date with the Lakers although we have no way to watch on our phone. I think Elder Docilidad has a whole process of getting them to turn it on, he starts with do you like sports? Basketball? You know the lakers? Search their latest game. And then boom we have Lakers highlights
Crazy trade of Anthony Davis for Luka. L move fr.
Crazy trade of Anthony Davis for Luka. L move fr.3 We've had a lot of people catcalling us which has been great for our findings! The other day these 4 girls yelled “Hi kuya!!!” (Hi brother) and Elder Docilidad was like bettt and we went and talked to them
We set a return appointment and should teach them next week so i guess you never know how people will come to the Gospel but as long as they come ig. Obvi they have to be actually committed to the gospel, not just to the 2 handsome dudes in white. So we'll use our discretion on that one but just a funny story

So we'll use our discretion on that one but just a funny story2 We played some 5v5 basketball at The Church last PDay. It was pretty hype, no french fries on the line this time. We played for probably 2 hours. I lowkey might be becoming the next Michael Jordan with all the basketball I'm playing here. My comp actually loves basketball. That's all he wants to do which I'm fine with. We also watched some Kobe motivational video in a zone council meeting recently so now we're gonna start waking up early to go play basketball to sharpen our skills
Most motivational speech here on the mission is from Kobe

They just trained us on Filipino culture basically. I got to see my OG district which was hype. I met up with the Elder Cockrell and we got to catch up. Haven't seen that guy in a minute
It was pretty cool seeing everyone that's not from the Philippines in one place. And we got to talk about how crazy it is here in the Philippines and we could all relate because this place isn't real Plus, the African peoples accents are so awesome.

Alma 30:44
But Alma said unto him: Thou hast had signs enough; will ye tempt your God? Will ye say, Show unto me a sign, when ye have the testimony of all these thy brethren, and also all the holy prophets? The scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator.
I was reminded of this verse this week which I really like.
The whole world and everything is proof that there is a God. Everything is so intricate and beautiful for me it just is obvious this all didn't happen by accident. And it's even greater to know that the Supreme Creator, our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, love us and know us individually.
I'm grateful to have a knowledge of these things which guide me and help me make decisions in my life. These things lead me to strive to make better decisions each and every day.
God is good!!
