hello to y'all!!! first it sounds like the backeast trip was just as i remember it. Well my new area is not in the big city, in fact it is really small town and some beautiful mountains by it. So its real pretty. But nothing really happened this week worth mentioning here. Just work. The Tagalog is coming along well enough and its alot easier to speak and understand it now. Well my companion is from Bikol, Philippines and hes a pretty good guy and we get along pretty well and we also have alot of cockroaches in our house. Not the little ones in America. Im talking about the freaking huge ones 3 or 4 times bigger! I had one crawl on me when i was trying to fall asleep one night and i freaked out and went on a roach killing crusade throughout the house and killing everyone that i have found. Im now pretty religious about checking my room everynight to make sure none are in there. And strange enough we also had a frog problem when i first got here in Malaya. Evidently they crawled under a crack in our front door and ive been kicking them out until we nailed a board to the underside so there is no crack. Well ive got to go again... I love you all and hope y'all had fun on the backeast trip.
I love you all!!!!!

Mahal,
