Holidays
This past week there were two philippinno holidays.
Aquino's day-some famous leader who helped free the Philippines and then today
actually is Hero's day. They celebrate all the Philippino heros. One hero
called Lapu Lapu, looks like a native American, but he has a big sword and a
african looking shield. He aparently fought against the Spaniards with an army
that only had swords,shields,bow,etc. whereas the Spaniards had guns. He ended
up killing the Spaniards leader Magellan and kicking the Spaniards out.
Because of the holidays most people didn't have school on
thurs-mon. so many of our investigators went to visit their families in
different parts of the Philippines, so we didn't get too many investigators to
come to church/progress this week. We did have one(Jerwin Ladran) who traveled
back sunday morning to go to church. haha he was so tired! he looked like he
was going to fall asleep in our gospel doctrine class.
Transferred
Transfers are tomorrow. I found out yesterday that I will
be transferring but I didn't find out, until today, who my new companion would
be or where my next area would be. We need to wake up tomorrow at 3am so that
we can get to where the bus stop is at 5am! haha we will have to go out and find/hire a multicab driver willing to
get up that early! haha
My new companion is Elder Pacala He is actually in the
same batch as Elder Pingol. so he just finished his training also. Our area is
in San Juan. Almost as far as I could have been transfered! I have heard that It has more spanish culture
there and the architecture in some places is really old and pretty. I am
excited but I am also sad that I have to leave elder Pingol and all of our
investigators.I am also a little bit worried about our area, But I know elder
Pingol will take care of it. He is 10 times better than I was when I finished
my training. Elder Pingol's new companion will be Elder Marsh!!! My mtc
companion! haha! I feel like all the trainers are just switching trainees!
