A New Area for a New Year

New Area
I really like my new area. it is really big but for the last week we have had one of the young men work with us for almost everyday. he drove us around in a trycee. haha it was super nice. we were able to go anywhere in our area at any time. haha.

our new area is a mix of bukid and suburb. we don't really have any areas in centro. but yeah it is a really cool city. it has a bunch of old buildings and a really cool road that we go to on pdays. in vigan there are two branches. our branch is super cool. there are a ton of young men. haha they are all super chill too. our branch pres. is young and most of the other leaders are new converts but they are really masipag/hardworking.

we also have a lot of progression in our area. there is one young family who is progressing. the father is deffinitly the one who has been converted he has almost completely gotten rid of his wow. his family is also progressing but a bit slower. they all come to church but they havent recieved an answer yet about joseph smith. they are super cool though.

New Years

new years was alright. i think they celebrate christmas more. for new years people usually just drink, shoot fireworks.... wich are more like bombs. haha. i forgot to get a picture of one but everyone makes things called boga. they are metal cans taped together with a plastic bottle at one end. they stick the ignition of a lighter in the end. they put some kind of uncultured alcohol in it. they are basically crude guns. haha. everyone has them. they are not even illegal. they also buy bad quality fireworks which usually blow up early or late causing many people injories. what we did on new years is a different story. we had to come home early (5pm) and study. then we slept.(10:30) WHOO! haha i didn't even wake up at 12 i was so tired! haha!
