I totally OYMed Ronald McDonald

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! (last Wednesday) HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD!

(last Thursday) HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTIN!!! (Last Friday)

Woo wee! Lots of fun things happening at home way over there yonder on

that side of the world. But let me tell ya', fun things happened here

too! On Wednesday (my moms birthday) I went on exchanges with Elder

Baquiran, my zone leader, and we had a super amazing day! I get to do

stuff like that because I'm a district leader. It's the only exchanges

I get to go on because the rest of my district are sisters. Anywho, we

had a super successful day. We were able to have 8 lessons, and 80

OYMs. Grabe ang dami [heavy volume]!!!! There was this one time where we were

completely surrounded by little children shouting at me, "Ano ang

height mo? Grabe ang tangkad! Kaya mo bang mag-dunk?" [ What is height Mo? 

Heavy height!  So you like to dunk?]and lots of

stuff of the like. I turned to Elder Baquiran and said, "They're my

disciples!" hahaha I think Elder Baquiran has heard the word

"Matangkad" [tall] more times that day alone than his whole life previous.

hahaha It was awesome!

I had a super crazy awesome OYM last Monday after we left e-mailing

for lunch. We went to McDonalds and it just so happened that Ronald

McDonald was home. haha I totally OYMed him and gave him a restoration

pamphlet. I think that's the famousest person I've ever OYMed in my

whole mission. haha My chicken McNuggets tasted just that much better!

hahaha

Elder Guzman and I had a really successful week this week. Last week

we had a shortage of OYMs. We only got 157 (Our goal is 190). This

week we went crazy and had 224. We made up the slack of last week and

plussed one. haha. We are super pleased with ourselves, however, I

must say na mas magaling ang Espiritu Santo! haha

Dad, I'm with you on not feeling super great at the moment. I had a

super bad sore throat last Thursday and then thursday ng gabi, nawala

ang voice ko talaga! [Thursday night I really lost my voice] I sounded worse than 

Yoda would after 63 years of smoking. It was ridiculous. It was so hard.

 I could barely force out a "Magandang gabi po. [Good Evening]" 

to the passers-by. My voice did come back. but I'm still hacking up a bunch

 of nastiness from my throat. I think I'm actually a teensy bit sick right now, 

but it's no biggy. "Carry on, carry on, carry on!"

Don't be surprised if there is an extra section added to the Doctrine

and Covenants in the very near future. I've got quite the district

meeting planned for tomorrow, so you can all be on the look out for

that. Maybe it will be announced in a few weeks in General Conference.

:)

So yeah. That's what's up with me! I'm glad you were able to go to

Ryan's Homecoming. He's the best running partner a running partner

could ask for. If you see him again, tell him I've got some sweet

Pedro-proof shoes.

I do have a scripture of the week. It is found in Deuteronomy 22:5.

Cross-dressing is an abomination daw. Have fun applying that to your

life and finding spiritual comfort.

Mahal ko kayo!!!
