Tuwing Umuulan

Well, today was crazy... My History paper is not done...I haven't even started on it. I am lame. However, I called the Elders to see what their plans were for the day. This was a part of my procrastination process. I was on my way to Jollibee with Khristine when I called them. They said they'll need me so, off I will go at noon. At Jollibee, we talked about her frustrations....long stuff...then I saw one of my classmates. Hahaha, I knew I was bound to see her at Jollibee. Filipinos are so predictable. So, tomorrow will be fun. When I left with the Elders, it was pouring. We went to their first appointment and that is where the craziness began..it actually began in the car with some pretty cool revelations that the rest of the world is not privy to. Needless to say, they are juicy. Now, back to the Elders. As we parked, Elder Decker pointed out that the gate was opening. Out dashed the brave Elder Coxe who hails from Ohio and is not familiar with Californian landscaping styles. I recognise that that is a sentence fragment, but you need to know that as Elder Coxe ran, his shoe his the elevated lawn which caused him to fall...oh, man...it was hilarious. There is a lot more to that, but i am too lazy to put them all in. I think that that was mostly it...there was a lot more, but I prefer keep them to myself. hahaha...is all I can say!

Lahat Tayo, May Bro

Ngayong linggong ito ay natuklasan ko ang kaaya-aya kuwento ni Santino at ang kapangyarihan ng paniniwala sa Maykapal. Ang kuwento ay nagsimula sa isang monasteryo kung saan inaalagaan ang isang bata na ang pangalan ay Santino. Dito, makikilala niya ang isang imahen ni Kristo na tatawagin niyang "Bro."

Ang masasabi ko lamang ay tayong lahat ay mayroong "Bro." Dapat lamang natin siyang kausapin at tayo ay maniwala.

Sunday Morning

I woke up today to find that it is Daylight Savings Time...normally, I would be happy with the extra hour of sleep, but for some reason i found that annoying. It meant I had to wait another hour to do the things I would normally be doing. Of course, I would be at church by now, but since there was the time change, I am writing. The past weeks where I have not made my presence known, I have been wondering about my existence. There are things that I really want to do and of course there are things that the Lord wants me to do. They haven't coincided, at least it hasn't for a while. I must say, that although my life is very rewarding and has a lot of perks, I am tired. Trying to juggle school, work and my church callings have been really tough. I wish I could spend more time on each of them. I have also decided that I need to start dating. Yes, it is sad, but i could really use some companionship and my guy friends don't exactly provide what I am looking for. It is like when Troy decided to spend time with Gabriella instead of guys hanging out with Chad and them. I know, lame example, but it suits the purpose. I need someone who will complete me and help me become better. For my church calling, I feel kind of lost. No offence to my wonderful bishop, but I really didn't see how making me and Skip co-chairs was supposed to help. We hang out, not work, together. With that, it still feels like I am expected to do much of the work. He isn't exactly self-motivating. Oh well, after all this Prop 8 stuff we will talk about it. I miss being a missionary. I wish I could be close to the Elders here. I just feel distant, like I don't know how I could relate to them. My excitement isn't the same as with the misisonaries before I left for my mission. Do I trust them? I can't really say that I do since we haven't done much together. I had a non-member friend from work over for dinner and that was just weird. If you don't speak English well, let the other missionary speak! ugh! i have been lucky as far as school. I haven't really had to study for anything (I know, slacker!) and I am passing, except for Econ. That class is just hard for some reason. Definitely my attitude needs changing, but I am not understanding the material. I am a 'C' student there. I am tired today. Not really wanting to go anywhere. I feel like i have lost my zest for life. Maybe the move will help. I am excited.
