feeling super good with the language

NAY! 

its been a good week. so we had a zone conference and learned an interesting and new contacting method presented by the assistants. so before you say pretty much anything else you ask them a classic question of the soul or something like "do you know why they call us mormons?" then BOOM book of mormon, joseph smith, first vision, promised blessing, a sneaky question they can not say no to then grab their phone number and then teach them! 13 new investigators this week.. got me hyped! also, after a good night time convo with my special boy we realized we both haven't grown so much in our whole missions. lots of new things, trials and sunny days. also feeling super good with the language which gets me hyped to just talk and learn. getting all those childrens songs on lock.

other than that i want to mention a really special and challenging family that we have been working with. haven't mentioned them yet. anyway back like 3 months ago there 11ish yo boy fell on a piece of rebar sticking out of the ground and it pierced his hip and like broke/ infected his bone. he has not walked in months and i have never seen anyone so skinny in my life. this family lives in a house that is the same size as like my bedroom back home, and it's just one bamboo bed thing. the mom and dad have had 8 kids and some live down the road in another house to sleep. the dad never went to school and doesn't speak tagalog. the kid needs like a surgery that they can only afford like 5% of. but the goverments helping out a bit and i saw him after this surgery and he had a rod going through his knee and a water jug on a rope pulling that leg down. this family is amazing. in short the mom went to church twice in a row now. glad i met them.
