Budol fight tayo!

That moment when you just want to be a true Filipino and eat with your hands...but you don't know how to eat rice with your hands, so they laugh at you and watch in agony as you try to be like them but they end up asking if you just want to use a spoon instead. #heyJoe.

So that was my week this week (sorry for the run on sentence). But to make a short story long, I don't know how to eat rice with my hands, and everyone thinks that is hilarious.

We had a pretty spectacular week this week. Elder Bednar came to Manila on Saturday and we were able to watch the broadcast as a stake. He talked a lot about home teaching and how it's not just showing up once a month and leaving a quick message. There are three necessary things that a home teacher must do. A home teacher MUST:
-Be with
-Watch over
-Strengthen
his family. Elder Bednar said "count whatever you want as home teaching. The numbers don't matter. What matters is that we are there for our assigned families, and that we are always watching out for them." Elder Bednar is awesome!

You guys are great! Don't forget to read your scriptures, but don't only read them FEAST on them. It is like the Chuck-a-rama of books. They are the Iron rod, the word of God! We should ever be pressing forward on to the tree of life! Keep praying, keep your covenants! Heavenly Father loves you!!!
