Saipan and Stray Dogs

Hello Po

This has been my first week in Micronesia. It has been a roller coaster from crazy long flights to crazy stray dogs everywhere here haha. I was assigned to the island of Saipan which is just north of Guam in the Northern Marianas Islands. My companion and trainer, Elder Ludovico, is super friendly and very funny. In our area almost everyone is Filipino and speaks Tagalog, so I guess I'm learning Tagalog now! 

We are having a baptism on Dec 6th so that's super cool. We have been teaching tons of people and they are all really nice. The members here are very sweet and LOVE to feed us. I have eaten more in just a few days here than I have my whole life! The weirdest thing I've tried so far is balut which is a half-boiled duck egg. It was quite the experience to say the least. As well as balut, I've had squid, pig's lungs, geese heart. So, all the good stuff.

I was able to go sightseeing with my district on P-day so that was super fun. I am enjoying Saipan so far and I can't wait to meet more people and share the gospel with them. Before I end this email because it's already pretty long I wanna share a scripture that I love and think everyone should read. It's Moroni 10:3-5. 

This scripture is truly powerful and will help you to pray if the Book of Mormon is true to you. I know it is and I love this church and all of you! Have a fantastic week everyone 

Ingat Po!
