hey family! that's so cool Mario Bambo is back. I always remember
him as being so nice. Don't worry about me. I'm eating healthy and exercising and
sleeping well every night. but yes the little kids here are so
funny! they always come up to us and ask for hi fives. they say "hey what's your
name!" they're pretty funny but they can be a little overwhelming sometimes just
because there are so many of them! the bugs here are massive.. the cockroaches
are massive and they can fly, which is terrifying haha! the spiders are the size
of the palm of your hand.. the other day in church I heard a girl yell and she
said there was a big spider in the chapel.. my companion and I laughed because
we thought she was overreacting. we went up to see how big it actually was and it
was about the size of a cheeseburger.. so gnarly haha! one of the young men just
got a broom and swept it out.. you see some pretty funny things here often.
its not uncommon to see someone fully clothed on the sidewalk but dripping
wet.. a lot of people don't have showers in their homes so they put on clothes
and do a bucket shower on the sidewalk.. took me a while to figure that one out. Its not uncommon to see 5 kids on one bicycle at a time or to see a man
holding three live pigeons in one hand and a dead chicken in the other. People
here are so kind though and I think I'm finally starting to understand them
more. A lot of the time people will speak in church in English and I'll think
"how did I understand that so well?.. oh it was in English" haha! but this past
week when people speak in pure Tagalog I'll think "was that in English?.. oh no
it wasn't, I can just understand them". That always gets me so excited and yes
mercury drugstore is the best! I always walk down the
street thinking about how you used to walk down these streets as a little girl. I love you guys so much!! I'll talk to you next week, I hope everything is
going well for you guys! tell Jolie I miss her too.
