A:We got picked up by our mission pres and then we took a Jeepnee
to his home. its really hot and humid here. I am in Loaog city everyone

jeepnees and Trycies ( their kind of like taxis but its a motercycle with a side cart).
It is very green, even in the city, but not as jungley as I expected.

How was your first week?
It was a good week, but I realized how bad
I am at the language. Our area (Laoag 2C)
is really large and my companion is just as new as I am to this area so
we spent most of our time trying to find investigators. It is challenging
to find anyone here because there are not any street signs or
house numbers. We get lost a lot. We did find a lot of potential
investigators.

What are your impressions?
Everyone is very poor, but they are all so humble and kind! I
love the people here, I haven't met anyone who was rude. Not
exaggerating! The rudest thing someone has done is said that they
didn't have time to listen to our message. Usually they just listen
because they are so polite and don't want to offend us.
