Week 4 in!!

hey everyone i finnally got to watch general confrence it was really good to listen to the apostles and the 70 one of the things that is a great talk was by the one by dallin h oaks his main focus was on the children and how we need to protect them and they should have both parents for the raising the children he talked about a few stats about kids over 40%  of children are born by single mothers and the birthrate has been the lowest in over 25 years i think it was 41 million abortions and how we should protect the children from physical and emotional and spirtual abuse it really got to me cause my life has been rough because of the divroce of my parents and it will always be a problem so when i get back and get married its going to be 1 marriage and i do not want any other child to go through that 

well this week in the philippines well the biggest thing that happend this week was Genral Conference well i also did a companion exchange its where i switch my companion for a day so we i switched with this American and it was a really good experience i learned a little bit of tagalog from him and he said that i taught him a lot i don't know how i can im still a Greene out here but he liked how simple i would teach and how he wants to be simple just cause you can say things complex doesnt mean you should thats what he said he learned 

also a little funny story so i was waiting on a jeepney to fill up in it hast to be filled up before it can go so anyway while i was sitting there a street vendor she came up and she asked me in english hello sir would you like to buy something then i replied hindi po means no thanks then the vendor said wow he knows implying i know a lot of tagalog it was pretty funny i said 2 words and she was astonished by one word

during my exchange apperently they said they were suprised that my tagalog was really good for only being here for 3 weeks they were amazed i dont know if they were really saying that elder hyatt told me that they said that 

well this next week i am going to be in manila for a little bit i ll be there and its for a little  help with some things dont worry its not nothing physically wrong with me so it will be a good experince
