I was the senior companion today with a greenie (new missionary) who learned Tagalog in the MTC. We went on splits, and I was with Elder Anderson. It was cool. I did everything. I know Cebuano better than I thought. Elder Anderson is cool. Once he learns the language, he'll be a great missionary.
(I can't believe I didn't write about the following story at the time, so I'll tell it now. We were visiting with a family, and Elder Anderson and I were telling the kids about life in North America. Anderson mentioned how many phones were in his house, and the kids thought that they must be pretty noisy. Anderson laughed and demonstrated what they thought it was like by making a phone-ringing sound and pantomiming picking up several phones at once. The sound he made was "brrring!" Everyone started laughing uproariously. Brrring sounded a lot like the Cebuano word "buring" (they roll their Rs when they speak), which means "whore." I explained this to Anderson, and we had a good laugh.)

ReplyDeleteSo is that why they're referred to as "call girls?"
