I'm feeling better emotionally now.  The entire zone was here yesterday, so it really cheered me up.  I needed time to mope on Sunday, too.  We gave a zone training yesterday morning.  Afterwards, Elder Martin and I hung out at the apartment while everyone else played basketball.  He's a cool kid.  We have similar tastes in music.  He likes comic books, too.  After basketball, everyone else went to play beach football, except for Elder Rynearson.  He came downtown with Elder Martin and I to mail letters and stuff.  It was cool to just hang out with them.  In the evening, everyone went to play pool except for me and Elder Culbertson.  We hung around here talking about Guiuan.  It's doing awesome.  They've had over 40 people at church these past few weeks.  They have four people scheduled for baptism next Saturday, possibly five.  They're doing some good reactivation, too.  After talking for a while, we decided to go to a burger stand downtown called "Australian Delight."  It's owned by an Australian guy named Wayne.  He's a really nice guy.  His wife is from here.  He has a nine year old daughter named Stephanie who is incredibly cute.  She taught herself how to speak Waray, and that's all she'll speak to us.  She's really good at it.
