But apparently I'm left handed when eating like a Filipino. It's supposed to be spoon in the right, fork in the left. But I have fork in the right, spoon in the left. And yes this is real, I had our Bishop ask if I was left handed because of that For those that didn't leave after the world's most boring fun fact, I'm still alive here in the Philippines! And also you get another (fun? boring?) fact. I knew rice was part of every meal here, but the dogs also eat rice most of the time too. I mean it makes sense but I don't know why that didn't click earlier. Espiritual na Isip: I don't know what to say other than just read the Book of Mormon. I'm realizing how great that book is and how much we can learn from it. The best part is that it isn't even a boring book. Like the stories are really awesome as well as super spiritually deep, couldn't ask for a better book really. We have people who are interested, and hopefully they'll be able to come closer to Christ, and find the joy that comes through him! Had a friend that we've met with a few times and he came to church for the first time last night so that was really cool. Another friend is really interested, loves the scriptures, and should be able to be baptized here in a couple weeks so we're praying for him! Other than that not much stands out from walking, talking, teaching, and all that missionary stuff. Also last pday after the email we went on a hike and District lunch that kept us out of the apartment until we had an hour and a half left in pday. It was awesome for sure but long. Rough. Mahal ko kayong lahat! At mahal kayo ni Cristo! Kanyang pagmamahal ay walang hanggan! https://photos.app.goo.gl/H4ZCmsvhw3SU7kGQ7 Previous Letter Next Letter

ad737442-67e0-4e69-a4f3-c6e2eb88f81c Elder Reece Leavitt Back to Missionary Letters Consistency is key!! We had a lot of fun activities in the church. We are playing uno and in the back they are playing just dance. It was a lot fun.hats up yall, we had another good week down here in brazil. We also had more fun playing volleyball and learning English. The trick is to get candy so then more people want to participate. There are a lot of kids that love to play volleyball so it was a lot of fun. Also ran an exchange with Elder Jacobson. He is super lit. It is a good day when you can get açai. But we also slept 6 people in our tiny house on pday. And that was something. I also put down 35 pieces of pizza at the Rodízio. It was very good. All kinds too, dont ask where it went but it went down. Met a member when I was on the exchange that served with Elder Bunker. So that was a cool connection. Its getting so hot here and It sucks working low-key. Cause the sun is starting to take a toll on me. Already have a little bit of a tan in two days of hot sun. And me and my comp are a little sick so thag sucks too. And then yesterday we went out to a members farm. Saw his geese and pigs and all the land that he has. It was pretty cool. We had a blessed week this week. "Its not about the intensity" "it's about the consistency this is how we need to live our lives. Learning a little more each time we study or read the scriptures. It doesn't matter if we read The Book of Mormon in one day if we didn't learn from it. But with better consistency in our lives, we can accomplish this frase "consistency looks like nothing happens, until everything changes" Love you guys, hope you have an amazing week. Reach out, love hearing from you. ELDER LEAVITT Previous Letter Next Letter
