hiligayonon inheritance

Bula mga amigo, this week we had fast sunday and it seemed really long cause we had an extra hour and a half of meetings. One of my cebuano teachers proposed to his girlfriend, and we had a good devotional about growth mindsets. I also planted an avocado seed in my room. On Monday we hosted the senior missionaries and that was fun and cool. It was nice to do something different.

On Tuesday a district of people going to the Philippines mission right above mine on the map, speaking hiligayonon left and gave us a bunch of stuff the last cebuano people gave them. Some of the cooler things they gave us were a potted plant named hili and a monkey.

We were teaching a returned missionary about charity in cebuano yesterday. And the word for charity is gugma nga putli, and the word for chastity is kaputli. So our whole lesson he misheard us and he was talking about chastity while we were talking about charity. We didn't realize until we asked him to follow christ's example and be charitable. It was hilarious the whole time I was wondering why he was talking about sexual sins when we asked about how christ showed charity and he talked about respecting Mary magdalene we were all a little confused. my kauban and I just thought we were mishearing or something. He was really fun and it was still a good experience and I think he still was edified by our lesson. Anyway I love you all! Amping!!
