This
week was cool. I had for the second time in my whole mission a Family Home Evening
at the investigators house without another member present. It is a weird
concept for people just to gather with Family and then have some quality
laughs. We always supply the games and a short message. The father of the
family missed the lesson but came in for the games which was amazing because
usually he is very shy towards us. The games allowed us to break the tension
very easily. The mother has fake teeth and one of the games requires you to say
a phrase without showing your teeth, even if you laugh you need to keep your
teeth covered by your lips. The nanays teeth fell out!! haha It was really
funny and she sat out the rest of the game because it was an "unfair
disadvantage."
I've said it before
and I'll say it again: Invite the missionaries over for dinner!! I don’t know
if they do fun games like we do here, but if you ask them to beforehand, I'm
sure they’ll come up with something.
Have a good week!
These
are pics with my new companion Elder Vilela.
He is from Batangas, Phillippines, a place where Tagalog IS the native
language, but it’s not just tagalog, it’s a very deep dialect. The way he
explained it to me it sounds like they speak the Tagalog equivalent of Old
English, and instead of saying happy they’d say overjoyed. Anyways, he’s a
super cool guy.
