My grandmother.


first of all, you will have to forgive me. the shift button on this keyboard is broken and so i have to nearly punch it in order to get any kind of response. there may be very few capitalizations. just prepare.

sorry that i didnt respond last week. the internet cafe that we use...to be more exact, all of calape had a power outage that lasted about 4 hours last wednesday so i didnt get to email everyone that i would have liked. even ben got jipped. that didnt make me very happy.

so easter was excellent and last sunday even better since that was the sunday and saturday that we got to watch conference on the delayed broadcast. um...yeah.... i think elder holland made things pretty clear. and i'm deeply sorry that you didnt get to hear president uchtdorf in priesthood. he spoke with so much authority it felt as if the walls were going to shake and kill all those who were guilty of impatience. i felt very comforted as he spoke tho. i've made it the goal for my mission to be patient. each companion has had something..some bigger than others...that i needed to be patient with. and so i feel as if it was a reassurance of what i've been working on. i still have room to grow of course.

oh grandma. yeah, the language is coming along but i found out just recently that everything that i was taught in the mtc about the language was pretty much wrong. so now i've kind of had to start again from the ground up. terrible. it was pretty disheartening and found me on my knees of course asking for help.

i've gotten all the updates about grandma betty from mom and dad. sounds like things are pretty rough. i know her and thats not the situation that she wants but i know she understands. come on...its grandma betty we're talking about. haha. man i love her. she's great.

its weird thinking that things are going on while i'm gone. you dont really think about whats going on rather who is going on. its more about the people that you miss as opposed to the things that you miss. i think part of that comes from not knowing what movies music and games that are coming out while im on the other side of the world. i miss your house sitting visits. those were always good times.

unsa pa?.....

mom. hasnt sent me an email yet this week. so i think im going to write her in cebuano.
you can go ahead and post emails to you on the blog by the way. they'd make a good addition.

love you grandma. hope you and grandpa are doing great. send my love to him as well.

love brandon
