MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!! Well, almost!!!!!

First, big apologies that I didn't tell you that I would be emailed a day later!!! We had our Zone Conference yesterday (as I'm sure you saw from the terrible pictures from President, why must he torture us like this??) so our P Day was moved to today. Sorry gid!!

SKYPE INFO. I will be skyping you tomorrow sometime from 10-12 in the morning here. I will send you an email to let you know that I am online and trying to skype so please just watch your emails so that you can see when I am on! I will send it to Dad, Sera, and Mom, to make sure you see it! I can skype for 30 minutes! And I am SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU GUYS :D :D :D :D

Okay, I'll give you a quick update of this week but I'll just talk to you all more tomorrow ;D

Last monday we went to this place called 888, its basically a ginormous thrift store, or ukay-ukay as they're called here.It was heaven, we were there for 3 hours and only got through half the place. I found a few things and all for like a dollar each, Merry Christmas to me!

Also, MY PACKAGE IS HERE!!!!!!!! :D :D It came last friday with the couples, I haven't opened it yet, you know me, I'm waiting for CHRISTMAS MORNING, gani ;) THANK YOU THANK YOU.

Sister Lisaca said the F word hahahahaha funniest thing ever. We were walking past a group of punk 7 year olds and they were flipping each other off and I asked her what that was called in ilonggo and she says "**** you" and I thought I misheard so I stupidly asked again, and she repeats "****you!" hahahahahahahaha I tried to explain how that was such a not good thing to say and she was like "I know, but you asked, and thats what its called!" hahaha I almost died.

Randomly I'll get these moments where I want to go on a run SO BAD. Like, this huge craving to just RUN. I blame you mom, remember when I didn't even want to run one mile with you? and you said "I know that if you run you will fall in love with running, you'll get addicted." and I was like "Nuh uh! I'm only doing this to make you happy, I know I will hate it." hahahahahahaha yeah. I'm addicted. I even have dreams of running. Ridiculous.

The other day like 8 high school kids asked to take a picture with me as I walked by #SoTotesPopular ;D

Sister Lisaca wants so bad to be fat. It drives me nutso hahahaha. We will walk home after a dinner appointment and I'll be cursing myself and my lack of self control and swearing that I'll never eat again and she'll be holding her non-existent stomach and saying "Awwwww! So skinny!!! I just want a very big stomach! Where is my stomach? I want a fat stomach!" and I could just about kill her hahahaha.

Sister Lisaca also had a few sick days this week, she came home from her mission in the first place because she was sick so sometimes it still hits her, but I loved it because I had a whole day to just read the Book of Mormon and the general conference talks!! And we still got to go out that night to a few appointments.

I want to wait until tomorrow to tell you about things like investigators and so forth!

The other day there were these two people caroling with a uke and a harp. Yep, a harp, and I'm pretty sure the guy had made it himself. They actually sounded really good! Hahahahaha but still #onlyinthephilippines

Okay, I love you I love you I love you!!!!!!! I'm so glad that you're all having so much fun!!! And okay, you saw Mitt Romney at church??? hahahaha that would happen to you guys!!! Sige!!!! SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!!!! :D :D :D

LOVE, Sister Manwaring <3 <3
