We ran the port

this has been a crazy week! we ate lots of good mtc food and left for the field. On tuesday i ate 5 sili peppers and threw up after the 4th one because my body rejected the capsaicin. then later that night i ate 3 balut! balut is like a duck egg that is somewhat matured then boiled. they weren't too bad. we woke up at like 1 and flew to cebu then we stayed in a hotel and talked to our mission president and he was awesome we did a ton of orientations. and got tons of medicine and stuff. then we went to the cebu temple and it was super cool. after we met our trainers and did more orientations. my trainer is elder brisolara, he's american from Oklahoma he is awesome. we got 72 hour kits and finally left for our area at like 3. we rode this old bus without doors and wooden ouchie seats until like 6:30 and the last boat left the dock at 7. so we had to hurry to get the tickets and stuff then we made it but the sisters were gone so we ran to find them and got on the boat at like 6:58 but it all worked out. then a senior couple drove us to an old mission house that was empty where we stayed the night. then we traveled the rest of the way to our area this morning. we are in a super cute place with lots of bukid like mountains and farms. we also are like right on the beach almost. there are a ton of dogs and chickens and goats and water buffalo here. its awesome. the Lord knows us and where we should go. everything will work out if you put your trust in him. it has for me so far! also this morning i showered in a bucket so that was fun! and they don't have toilet paper here. any i know that Jesus knows all of us and will help us out. i love you all bye bye.
