Hey mother dear, how’s Canada? I'm going to tell my comp you’re in Canada cause he is moving there soon he’s going to be excited. His dad told him that the church basketball courts are inside the church and he was like what inside no that’s crazy there’s no way. He’s like a little kid seriously its funny! But anyways how is Canada? That’s crazy that Kim is getting a divorce that just sounds crazy to me I guess but I wish I could go to Edmonton I want to go to somewhere that sells real food. I ate frog the other day. It was pretty good just like chicken they weren’t lying but the only thing is there isn’t much meat so you have to eat like 50 of them to make a meal out of it.

Ok so to add to the list of things I need haha flashlight, elk hunting the west Eastman, way mini preach my gospel and gel soles for my shoes haha! That’s the list for right now! Haha!

But anyway. So last night we had no power again I don’t know if I told you this but in the Philippines they shut the power off or it dies like every other day and at night time its so miserable cause its so hot I can’t sleep. I hate it but it always takes them 6 or 7 hours to fix it cause they’re all freaking lazy here seriously but if I find the guy who’s in charge of the power we are going to have a word about this. I swear he does it on purpose! I bet he sits there just thinking o it looks like the powers been on for a whole day now in Burgos lets shut it down and then he sits there and is like that should piss them off! Haha! But anyways I hope you’re having a good week. It’s been mostly uneventful when you talk to dad though this week tell him to write me and tell me what hunts he put in for it’s killing me I want to know haha!
Well I’ve got to go!
Mahal Kita, Jason

Ha that’s sweet too bad you didn’t get to eat it. I love crab. Right now I'm no where close to the ocean so we don’t see crabs but people buy them at the market and stuff they usually buy just little ones cause they’re cheap but they eat them different they cook the whole thing and rip off the big shell and eat its guts. It’s actually not bad it’s like the yoke of a hard boiled egg in texture kinda chalky like but tastes salty and weird - but overall it’s ok. The frog legs I had last week were way better seriously they say it tastes like chicken and it does but the only problem is there isn’t much meat so you have to eat 20 of them to satisfy your hunger and plus you can’t help but think how they get them. In my opinion anything you can go out and grab in the backyard with no effort shouldn’t be eaten but I didn’t get sick and I thought it was good so win win there.
But this week nothing cool has happened seriously it’s been kinda uneventful not a lot of good work and our investigator that I have been teaching for 4 months now didn’t go to church again so I probably won’t get to see her be baptized I'm pretty sure unless I don’t get transferred which I cant see me not getting transferred but who knows. I haven’t got your belts yet cause they don’t sell them in my area they sell them in the mountain provinces and I don’t want to give anyone the money to get them cause here that money might just accidentally disappear. Haha! But anyways – I’ll talk to you next week!
