My mom and dad always read and told stories to my brother and I growing up. They also told us stories they were told when they were younger.

This is a transcription of a phone call I had with my mother. When I was a child I would\rask her for stories of the Philippines, her childhood, and the folktales she grew up with. This time I asked her about a story she told me before about the wind. My mother's view on her story is that it is a mythical but respected story from her childhood. There are a few times I comment on the story.

My mom grew up in the Philippines. Her whole family was originally Catholic, as many are in the Philippines. They joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints and were all sealed in the Manilla Temple. She served a mission in Manilla, Philippines. In 1992 she married my dad, who is from Guam, in the Manilla Temple and then moved to the USA. Our home has a mixed culture of the Philippines, Guam, Hawaii, and strong LDS culture. The language spoken at home is English although my mom speaks Tagalog and my dad speaks Chamorro and Spanish. Both parents converted from Catholicism to LDS. She has sometimes called this story "The\rcrooked wind" or simply "The wind."

For this collection assignment I called her up and with permission transcribed the story of Nahipan ng Hangin. There is no editing except for typing mistakes I made while transcribing and quotation marks to help show who is speaking between my mother and I.
