kamo???!
This
week has been kind of crazy, but it was so awesome! So On tuesday and wednesday
I was still in Lapaz, just working and preparing for transfers. It was hard to
leave Lapaz, there were so many special people that I was blessed to meet and
share the gospel with. It was especially hard to say goodbye to the Gabawa and
Junsay Families. But I know that the missionaries there will continue teaching
them and they will be fine. Transfers is probably the hardest part of being a
missionary.
Then
on thursday was the trainers and trainees meeting! I was so nervous and excited
and the same time! For the first while, the trainers and trainees were seperate
and pres cruz talked to us trainers about how important our role is. It is a
big responsibility, but it should be fun! Then we all came together and it was
announced who will be training who. My new companion/trainee is Elder Alegado!
He is from the northern part of the philippines, a place called tarlac. He is
so awesome! He is so humble and ready to work. He is not comfortable speaking
english and he doesn't know Ilonggo yet, so he speaks tagalog (which I can Kind
of understand) and I just try my best. haha! But filipinos usually pick up
ilonggo fast. He is good at teaching! I think we will be good! After the trainers
and trainees meeting we were picked up by our ZLs and we got on the boat going
to Guimaras! As we were riding on the boat to Guimaras I had a flashback of the
first time I road on a boat going to Guimaras with my trainer. I am so excited
to be back in Guimaras I love the place and the people here.
So
the situation with our house is still a little bit of a struggle, for the first
couple of days we had to stay in the jordan elders apartment like 30 minutes
away. Then when we got our stuff for our apartment, which the APs brought to
us, we realized that we don't have an Iron, which is kind of important. And we
still don't have a cellphone yet, but despite all of that we had a great couple
of days of work. The people in buenavista are so grateful to have missionaries
again. The members especially the branch pres and family have been a huge help,
the have shown us members and former investigators. And the best part is there
are investigators that have been going to church but there were no missionaries
to teach them, so we already have some great investigators! I already love the
area, it should be fun, and I know that there are even more people waiting for
the gospel especially after not having missionaries for so long!
I was so excited
to hear about the Utes haha take that BYU! 8 in a row! Wahooooo!
