you very long

The literal translation for tall in Cebuano is long.  So, when people are practicing their English on Robby they will often say,
 "Elder Stowell -- you very L O N G !!!

When Robby is among Americans, he kind of blends in . . . .


 But since only 25 percent of the missionaries in his mission are American, most of the time he looks like this .  .  .  . 




Yep, Robby, I would agree.  You very L O N G !!!
