Hello Family!!!
Its been a wonderful week here in the Philippines! And its
hot hot hot!!
So this week has been kinda crazy! We have transfers coming
up, and we had Sister Santillan stuck in the hospital... crazy stuff!!!
Splitting the area has been kinda crazy. Its official. Elder Packard is headed
over to Basud, and I am staying in Daet. The bad news is, all of our new
investigators, everyone we have been finding, all the work we have been
doing... has been in Basud... So, I will have the Santillan Family to work
with, a new comp, and a lot of tracting to do!!!! Haha, it'll be good fun. New
comp eh? Thats some pretty salty stuff!!! I'm crossing my fingers that he is Filipino.
I really need a Filipino if I am ever gonna get this language down!!!
So, last monday we had Sister Santillan in the hospital. She couldn't get out cause she couldn't afford the procedure and she had to pay before she could leave... so our amazing bishop pulled a miracle, and now momma Santillan and baby are now happily at home!!! We are super happy about that!!!
Hmm, so last week, our
wonderful ward mother (Sister De Gouzman.. Bishops wife) made me and my comp
150 ice candies... thats a ton!! Ask dallin, its really good, and a lot of it.
So we have been eating that all week, and we are not finished yet... So thats
been nice.
So we have neighbors.. go figure. You would have thought we
would have realized that sooner. Suprise! One is white! That is super weird.
There are no white people here. If we ever see white people here, either they
are missionaries, or it is Stan... our neighbor. Anywho, he had us over the
other day and fed us Pork Chops... delicious pork chops. He has a grill...
those don't exist here... It was nice to talk to him. He is super friendly, but
he isn't to interested.... sad day... we'll keep trying with him.
Our other neighbors who
actually live in the same appartment, just a door down, we got to talk to them
this week! They are super nice and invited us to come talk to them some time.
We totally will!
So Adrian... The one with the
phobia. We have been trying to help his family life too. He and his mom don't
trust each other at all. And they have a hard time together. He really needs
his moms support if he is gonna overcome his fear. Well, the report this week
is that there is improvement!!! We had a super intense lesson with him and his
mom, we were trying really hard not to offend people but also open them up a
bit. The lesson was a success!!! We talked to them separately and they both say
there is improvements in the home and they are doing a little better...
Hopefully the improvements continue!!! Adrian is totally awesome. And the
reason they are improving is because they are reading the Book of Mormon and
doing things that invite the spirit into their home!!!
So, its transfers now. Half of
our district is being transfered... I'll spend the next couple days traveling
to Naga, getting my new comp, and then getting started into our rather baren
area. Its gonna be awesome!!!
Well, sorry if the email is no good, but I am
outa time, gotta run. Love you all!! Keep being awesome! Peace Out
