Hello everyone.

Any other week has come and gone. This week has just been a regular week. No crazy storms or floodings. I talk to the bishop here and he said that typhoons happen alot in the months June to Sept and that they will get worse. Anyways If you didn't notice from the pictures I sent, I dyed my hair.. It was suppose to be dark brown but turned out black. We have this investigator who is doing really good and she is getting married soon. Her future husband is a member and he is helping her progress alot. They will be getting married and baptized the same day. Anyways their grandpa is old and very weak. He is about 85 years old and he is really skinny and has no energy. Yesterday I had a feeling something was wrong with him and we couldn't go see them at the time. Well last night Elder Amianit and I went back to the apartment kinda early and we found Sister Perla and Brother Alvin at our apartment waiting outside in the rain for us to come home. Sister Perla and Brother Alvin are members and live with Tatay Forneste (The old man). They tell us what is wrong. Tatay Forneste went to the hospital cause his throat was swollen and he couldn't drink or eat. So he had some x-rays and after everything they didn't have the money to pay for everything. Sige po so they were speaking tagalog the whole time and im trying to pick everything up but I end up not understanding correctly. I thought that he was dying and they wanted us to give him a blessing. My companion didn't inform me of what was really wrong. So I was standing there thinking why are we just standing here? We are wasting time. My companion says to me I need to talk to you. So we go inside and go upstairs. he says that they dont have enough money to pay for the bill and they need help. We're not suppose to give anyone money. He tells me whats wrong and I was relieved cause he wasn't dying. They just needed money and they would pay us back. My companion didn't want to. So I offered the give them the money the pay for the bill. Which im totally fine with. To make a long story short I gave them 1000 pesos which is around 25 dollars to pay for the bill.....The other day we had a had a dinner appointment and the members forgot so the hurried and made some rice and ulam. The member gave me a hard boiled egg and I was alittle nervous about it. I opened it up and it wasn't yellow haha it was brown. The member was watching at me so i had to eat it. It was gross and I stunk so bad. I dont know why i did it. later I found out that it was a bad egg. Anyways I hope next week I have more interesting things to write about. Well until next week. Take care!:) Mahal kita!!!!!!!!!
