Cow Poop

 Hey yall! 

This week has been great! A lot has happened. To start off off we had our Zone Conference, which was so awesome! We talked a lot about the Holy Ghost, and its importance in our lives. It was a super spiritual Zone Conference and I was able to learn a lot! I also got to hang out with the other American missionaries in our Zone , which was so nice! They are all super cool and fun to be with! But now lets hop into the stories for the week...

On our way home from Proselyting, we always have to take this small hanging bridge in order to get to our apartment. But before this small hanging bridge is a little pathway. And one night while we were walking on the narrow pathway, we came across an angry cow. And he was not to keen to let us pass haha. After a few attempts, we realized that he wouldn't budge. And he kept charging at us haha. But we had to get home so... we ran for it. And as we began to run past this cow he began to charge. So I start running as fast as I can haha. I was just happy that I was faster than my companion haha. But all of the sudden I slip, and smack on the ground. Ouch. But I stand up and look at what I slipped on, and yes, it was this angry cows poop. All over my pant legs and shirt. Just drenched in cow poop. So so gross. And I couldn't do anything about it until we got home... 30 minutes later. Yuck.

This week was also fun because we were able to join in a youth and Elders Quorum Activity. We had a Boodle Fight! It was my first time, but apparently they are pretty popular here. A Boodle Fight is where you put some banana leaves on a table, throw on a bunch of rice and Ulam(food that isnt rice) and get at it with your hands! No spoons allowed. We had tilapia, lahka, catngay, and bananas. We cooked it all over the fire, and the fish on a rusty sheet of metal! But it was super yummy and fun! But yep thats it for this week. Hope all is going good until next time!

He Made it to Naga! (and survived his first Typhoon)

Hey lovely parents!  We had a level 3 Typhoon here the other day, it was pretty cool, and scary. Luckily it didn't hit us directly. But there was a lot of rain and very, very strong wind. Also I have heard Naga gets hit with the hardest Typhoons, so it should be fun! Anyways, I leave tomorrow morning at 3:50 AM hopping on a plane to Naga. I think my P-Days will be switching to Monday, but I am still not sure. It will be fun to finally be in the mission, and to see the area. I've heard I have the best mission president out there, who I am excited to meet. I'm also excited to get my machete :) I love y'all very much and miss you! Talk to ya next week! -Isaac Dear Morgans, This is Sister Hansen. President and I are so happy to welcome Elder Morgan to the Philippines Naga Mission! He is well and just met his new companion. We just wanted you to know he arrived safely and that his P-days will be on Mondays. We love him already and look forward to serving with him here! Warml...

Dalawang pogi

Hey hey. This week has been awesome! Here's why... We were lucky enough to have held a service project at the local police station. It went great. We cleaned their alleyway and they gave us snacks. I guess it was a win win. We then got to celebrate the good ole 1 year mark with barbecue and root beer floats. Which is quite limited here in the Philippines. Following the celebration, we had Zone Conference. I loved it! We focused on the difference between a testimony and conversion. And how we can help our interested people become converted unto the Lord. Zone Conference was then followed with exchanges. It was me and another american. His name is Elder Barzee. He is an awesome guy, and an even better missionary. We ended up finding a lot of new people to teach. While on exchanges, we went to dinner right. As we were eating we hear someone yell from behind us "marhay na banggi po sa inyong dalawang pogi" which in english translates too "good evening to you two handsome...

A Typhoon in the Middle of Summer!

Hey yall!  What an absolute amazing week it has been! It has been filled with funny stories and crazy experiences. We started off this week having a great day of missionary work. We were teaching and serving the amazing people of the Philippines, when all of the sudden we got a call from the Zone Leaders. They told us a big Typhoon was on its way to hit our area... we were instructed to pack up for 3 days, and go to Lagonoy ( a bigger city outside of our area. ) We were told to not leave Lagonoy until instructed otherwise. So we didn't. As the night went on we were really expecting so to see a big typhoon start to take way, but it didn't happen. There was a little bit of rain fall and some wind but, that was it. The next day came by and there still was no typhoon... we were wondering what to do. Do we work? Do we go back to our area? We ended calling the Zone Leaders, and they said to stay in Lagonoy until everything had passed. So we stayed and worked in their area.  As a Dis...
