Beef Stroganoff-- Apparently Filipinos are not a fan

Angry man: Pretty self explanatory
Elder Roberts ruined Christmas!: How I ruined Christmas...


Angry man
So me and my comp are going to district meeting and we are kind of in a hurry and as we are leaving our landlord tries to talk to us. My comp is trying to catch a jeep so he just keeps walking and leaves our landlord and here's the thing our house sucks enough so I was like "yo Imma fix whatever he needs" so I stop to talk to him and my comp comes back talks to him for like 5 seconds then is like "K lets go." and so I was like "OK" so we leave. Well we missed the jeep and were just there waiting for the next one and our landlord comes up and just loses it on us. He's basically just saying like "Mormons suck you Mormons are so rude!" and he kept yelling at both of us but every time he'd look at me I'd just pretend I didn't understand so I accessed first week me and just smiled and nodded and he kept looking at me and saw I didn't understand so he just like yelled at my comp. I understood everything he isn't kicking us out yet so that's good.

Elder Roberts ruined Christmas!

So for Christmas we went to one of the families in our ward and they asked me to cook some american food... because I'm not an idiot, I made sure they made most the food but I made one american dish I made beef stroganoff because that's easy and meat, and meat and carbs is all they eat here, so I thought maybe they would like it. Holy cow I was ever so wrong! It was so funny, they hated it! And here's the thing Filipinos are deadly honest about appearance, like if you are ugly they will say you are ugly. But when it comes to food they will lie like crazy. You don't say you don't like someones food.  

Well they hated my food but they are all trying to be nice so they all like get some and pretend they like it. But no joke like they are like just choking it down and then they start like calling each other out because they all only got a bit because they knew they wouldn't like it. So really it was just what I ate that was missing and like tiny dents that they ate. So they are like "Hey she didn't eat any!" And then she'd be like "No I did! It was so good!"  And then someone would say "If it was good eat more!" and she'd be like "I don't think you ate any!" But the funniest was the mom shes like choking down a whole plateful. Just trying to do anything to make it taste better she's putting like rice, soy sauce, chili sauce, like all the typical things Filipinos like trying to save this horrendous excuse for food.

It was by far one of the funniest experiences here so far.

Here's the recipe that they hated. My family loves it!!

Temple November 5, 2018

Hey, we went to the temple today so I'll be sending pictures in a minute but other than that just get ready for some pretty cool things to happen over the next 3 weeks Dec 11, 2017 Dear Adam, Thinking about your sweet letter today about going on Splits and your realization that Jesus Christ is always your companion. Thought about several scriptures that reminded me of your experience. First was 2 Nephi 4: 35 especially “I know that God will give liberally to him that asketh. Yea, my God will give me, if I ask not amiss” Love your testimony that he truly provided abundantly in your time of need. Loved Mormon 9:34 “none other people knoweth our language, therefore he hath prepared means for the interpretation thereof.” You may feel like your Tagalog is trash but I testify to you through the power of the Holy Ghost you can be used as a tool to speak with the Tongue of angels and speak to the understanding of those who will listen the words of Christ.  (2 Npehi ...

The Problem OK so I was preferring to have no one know this but this story is pretty funny so I'll just tell you.  Both the toenails on my big toes decided to go into all out rebellion and tried to dig for gold in their designated toes. it didn't start out that bad. What caused it is since it's the rainy season right now I've been wearing these airtight water proof rubber shoes and they are nice for keeping water out but they are pretty tight so it caused the little chitin monsters down stairs to go on strike. Which was just kinda painful. But then they went into all out rebellion when I decided to listen to their painful objections, and wore my normal shoes. My normal shoes do not have the helpful function of being water proof when the rains came down and the floods came up. So my feet got soaked and apparently toenails do not like being soaked in filthy poisonous Filipino rain water so they were completely irate and just made a massive mess of the mining sight t...

Vision

Ok so here's the thing I've been in the mission for a while now! (14 months)  and i had something happen that hasn't happened my entire mission!  I had an investigator who had her prayers answered through a dream OK so here's the story. So we go to one of our investigators who we have been teaching for a while but has only gone to church once but loves the lessons but isn't showing a lot of progression outside of the lessons so we come in kinda getting the listen we love teaching you and we love you guys thing going but we might not teach you as much anymore talk going. Basically the friend zone of missionary work  Anywho before I do that I get some followup going ask her about prayer and she's like a pray every night. Prayers good!  Aight um hows your Book of Mormon reading goin? and shes like well I read Alma 25. Which I'm thinking like "Uhhh that's not what we had assigned but hey she read!
