This week we got a referral. I do not remember if I told you about him. His name is MJ and his story is he has had lessons with other missionaries in another area, he has read and prayed about the Book of Mormon, and he said that he wanted to be baptized into our ward, which was good to hear. The only problem is that we have tried to contact him but he is never home it seems, and the number we have is not in service. We know where he lives so tonight we will drop by again.

I cut my hair last week, on the day before interviews.

We had our last interviews and lunch with President. Interviews went well, so did lunch. We got some pictures with him I will have to send bunch of pictures sometime.

On Wednesday we went to the Subaru dealership to get a new key. They plugged a computer into the car and programed a new key and remote to the car, so now we do not have to worry about setting off the alarm anytime we get into the car! haha Whoever has the old key, that key will not work nor the remote, but they can still unlock it by the door, the alarm goes off, and they cannot start the car. So its like a trap! haha

We taught a lesson to a recent convert, just the after member lessons. His name is Costo. He’s from Africa. He can speak like 7 different languages. We taught him the Law of Chastity. It went really well. They fed us that night too. African food, it was really good.

On Saturday we went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders. That was fun. That night some Phillipino  members in our ward fed us and the Zone leaders. The food was the best, like always, and there was lots and lots of it. There was:

Pancit- A rice-noodle (like anglehair) dish with some vegetables and some meat.

Adobo- Really good chicken in some sort of sauce.

Rice- Rice is the seed of the grass species Oryza sativa or Oryza glaberrima. As a cereal grain, it is the most widely consumed staple food for a large part of the world's human population, especially in Asia.

Pinoy- Pork Ribs, its Really good. 

Afritada- Like beef stew. Carrots, potatoes, and beef  

Frog Legs- Legs of a frog.

I ate some frog legs! They were really really good! They taste just like chicken. Try it some day. Have it for dinner tomorrow. There should not be any complaints. haha ;)

 Get a frying pan with a good amount of vegetable oil and fry 'em. Frog leg is now the most unique food I have eaten on the mission besides eel. I ate eel in BC. It was on sushi. 

We did not meet with Cole yesterday, we will have to stop by and teach him the first lesson.

They are going to cut our allotment of kilometers by 1/3 for the summer, so there will be more walking, which is fine with me because our car was parked all of last half of last month. I think I lost about 10 pounds because of all the walking. hahah 

That's about all that happened last week, hope you guys have fun at EFY.
