Birthday
2.my last birthday was mostly spent on a bus going from
aparri to laoag to pick up my trainee! haha! it was a great birthday. i felt
like my present was my trainee, elder Pingol. haha! funny thing is we are both
in aparri again today, along with elder payne!(my trainer), to withdraw our
support(aparri is the only city in cagayan that has atms) he is doing great! he
also just started to train. his trainee's name is Elder Abug. seems like my
last bday was forever ago! i have seen, done, and experienced so much. i feel
like i am an entirely different person! but also like you said it seems
sometimes like it was just yesterday!
Traveling
this week is going to be crazy! we are in aparri today,
tomorrow we have interviews with president barrientos here again! haha! then
wednesday(bday) i will again spend most of the day on a... bus! haha! we need
to go down to laoag again for a meeting on thursday. then friday or saturday we
will come back! hahahaa! it will be a crazy week! but it will be difficult
because we basically have half the time to work and teach our investigators.
this area is progressing like crazy! but we have had to put a lot of work into
everyday! we are just praying that those that we wont be able to teach this
week will continue to feel the spirit and continue to follow their commitments.
This Week:
this week was a lot of fun! i got to go on exchanges in
an area called BUGUEY. it is super pretty. right next to the beach. i worked
with elder Ortiz. he is a new missionary from manila. he is just finishing up
his second transfer. even though he is new he is already a great missionary!
his teaching is clear and powerful. he loves the people and easily gets along
with everyone. that is one of his strengths. he is not afraid to talk to
people. while we worked it started to rain. haha! we hadn't brought any umbrellas.
and it was his first time to work while it was raining. haha even though he
didn't want to i helped him realize that we still work rain or shine! haha we
were both drenched by the end of the day! haha it was great to be with him on
his first time being in the rain! haha! he took it like a champ! haha.
