Magandang Hapon po!
Kamusta sa inyong lahat!
Congrats to dad for
crossing the finish line as a bishop at BYU. Now I'm sure much more exciting
things are awaiting such as mission president, stake president, and other more
fun callings. :) Should be fun to go back to church next week in the home ward
and look like strangers that have randomly decided to start coming to
church.
I think the most
interesting thing out of the traditional Big Lake trip is that Milo decided to
swim-without you throwing him in! What a great achievement for that little
hairy fur ball. Thats too bad that nothing happened this year like the camper
top taking liftoff on the freeway. There's always next year.
It was a nice
surprise that I actually got to see a parade on the 4th of July here! We
happened to be in Roxas when all the sudden the main highway was shut down so
that they could have a parade because of some local holiday. It was pretty cool
to see a bunch of floats made out of kuligligs and all the kids dressed up in
cool uniforms. Don't worry, I snapped some pics. It was probably comparable to
about how awesome the 24th of July parade is in Mapleton, but, at least I can
say I saw a parade on the 4th of July in the Philippines.
It's always a nice
surprise for me when someone asks to be taught randomly. Elder Oyardo and I were
running a little late so we were walking rather quickly, but that didn't stop a
young father from asking us if we could talk to him for a minute and ask us to
come to his house when we had time. After we taught him, he said it was
interesting how our message made him feel light/peaceful inside and he will try
to come to church next week (without us even inviting him). If only that could
happen everyday!
I got to see a really
awesome cut on someones arm. She had just sliced it open a couple hours earlier
so it was nice and fresh. I couldn't help but make her show it to me. It was so
deep that I had a nice anatomy lesson of all the layers of skin and got to see
a piece of the Ulna bone (I think that is what its called...). Don't worry, I
got a picture for mom's sake, but it doesn't quite do justice. I poured some
Iodine on it and had to convince them to go get it stitched up. Mom would have
loved it!
The one year mark was
nothing exciting. I don't think I even remembered until I was getting ready for
bed. Pretty crazy to think I'm on the downward slope. Time flies!
Thanks for all your
support and everything you do! Remember where you live and don't forget who you
are!
Mahal Kita,
Elder Nay
