What did you picture when I said "I get to drive"?



Hello sa tanan nga mga kaigsoonan nako diha!
I decided nga mag.binisaya nalang ko karon para mas masaptan ninyo ang akong isulti. Kamusta na man mong tanan?? Unta, maka.tubag gihapon mo'g "okay lang" o "mao ra gihapon" o pinika-nindot "okay pa sa alright"... As in, malipayon jud ko karon nga maka.email bitaw ko sa inyo :) Nabati nako nga medjio dugay dugay naman nga wala ta kakita... Gimingaw jud ko sa inyo ba.. Pero ayaw kabalaka kay nahigugma jud gihapon ko ninyo! :)

Haha!

I'm sorry... I just felt like I needed to give you a little taste of my REAL life.. I feel like every time I email on Wednesdays it's all just fake, because English isn't my real language...


Well, this week was... crazy.

 Again... 

But it was fun, promise. 

Literally as we were leaving the Internet place last week after i emailed you, we got a call from the Macasilao elders saying that their truck was broken.. Greatttt. 

Hahah we got to the site and it only had three tires.... hahah I guess some guys on the street were trying to help and so they took off the fourth tire WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. Hahah soo... 

So When I told you that I get to drive here, what did you picture? Are you thinking the roads here are like the roads that you drive on?? 
Driving in the neighborhood....

On Saturday, we took the Cabagtasan elders out to their other area...
We share the road with people, bikes........
OH. MY. GOODNESS. Somebody please look up Cabagtasan on a map and just reassure me that I didn't travel to the other side of the Philippines. 


That was insane! Hahah it was... Off-roading to say the least. 



Speaking of that, can someone please send me the names of all seven dwarfs in Snow White? Our truck almost couldn't make it on those roads... I want to name it after a dwarf cause that's kind of what it reminds me of. That would be muchly appreciated :)







And animals......



We went on exchanges down in Vallehermoso on Monday to Tuesday. We worked out in their area. That area is down south towards Dumaguete. It's only about 30-40 minutes away. It was awesome!















I am doing great over here! Don't worry about me one bit.
I know there's a road here somewhere.....
I am not really liking how fast these weeks fly by, but I do feel like we are getting so many things done. 


We just need to press forward with an eye single to His glory :) I feel so blessed by Heavenly Father. I don't know how to describe it, I just feel blessed.

 I am happy with where I am at and, at the same exact time, am not content because I want to be better.


 I am excited to move forward and continue growing in knowledge and understanding. I know that this church is Christ's personal church here on Earth.

 If He were to come to one group of people on Earth, I have no doubt that we would call a meeting in a building owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I love this gospel and am eternally grateful for it.
Love you all!!   Elder Jacobs
That blue building is our church building here in my new area!
