So this week has been full of a lot of adjustment and change.. again. It was kind of hard, but it wasn't nearly as bad as when I was "bago"(new) in the mission.
I have a new companion, Elder Maagad, and my new area is in Santiago South. It is a lot smaller than my last area, Mallig, but it is in the city, so there is SO much more here. There are 3 McDonalds... 3 different malls, and there are a lot more well-off people here. It's awesome :) I am really enjoying my new area.. and my companion likes to work hard, so that is always a plus!

I have also been really growing in the language! My companion said that I sound like I'm Filipino! Which is a great compliment :) I just need to keep studying hard, and practicing all the time, and hopefully I can become super duper good!
So last night, we had a dinner appointment at a member's house. She usually feeds the missionaries a lot, and she is famous for stuffing them to the brim. I didn't quite understand what that meant until after we finished eating. She made so much food it was ridiculous. She would go around and fill our plates if there was any empty space left on the plate. And when one dish was gone, she would somehow have 3 more come out of her kitchen. I had no clue where it was all coming from, and luckily it was all good food, because afterwards, I could barely walk, and my companion felt like he was going to blow up.
This week has been great all around, and I am super grateful for all the blessings that I have had.
Ingat Kayo Lahat! (You all take care!) :)
Stay True
