This week has been an awesome week we have done!
So my district is made up of 9 elders
no sisters, 4 are going to Bacolod and 5 to Iloilo. We all love each other and
all the teachers and people are really impressed with our work ethic and
progress with the gospel and the language. We do joke around a lot and quote
Nacho Libre like every chance we get, we even translated some lines into
Ilonggo like " indi ako nagapamati mo, Buwang Ka!!!" which means I'm
not listening to you, you’re crazy!!!. I miss that movie so much!
We also had a devotional this week
and we were shown the video for Christmas that is coming out this year it looks
really cool, and we were also shown the videos from Easter and Mother’s Day.
The one from Mother’s Day really made me miss you mom and I wanted to thank you
for everything you have done for me and my sisters for our whole lives! You do
it not for a reward or for money but because you love us and we are not always
thankful for everything and I'm sorry, but for all the times I didn't say thank
you I just want to say THANK YOU for EVERYTHING you have done for me and that I
LOVE you MOM!
We Skype with real Filipinos and we
learned a lot. Class has been great the language gets a little easier every day
it's all about placing everything in the right location in the sentence. I love
all my teachers Especially Bro. Waggoner he is honestly the coolest guy ever he
loves to teach us and he has some crazy mission stories. He says that if you
don't poop your pants once on your mission then you didn't do it right.
Our district has been hosting the new missionaries
for the past 2 weeks so we show all the new elders go for lunch their classroom
and their rooms and stuff its pretty fun!

Elder Rivera
