You mentioned in your letter that your stake conference that the leaders all spoke english? Were there no members there? They don't speak in their native language?
there were tons of members there, but im not sure why they spoke in english. everyone seems to throw a bunch of english in their speeches.
Where was your waterfall activity? Like what city?
the waterfall was in Isabel. Elder Morris' area.
We think Elder Morris is a pretty cool writer. We saw that he mentioned in his letter too about the waterfall activity too that he went out with you guys. Was that our "shoutout"?
no, he said something like "elder smiths mom, i hear you read my blog, i know your son and hes amazing and stuff".
Do you remember how Jensen's mission does transfers? So last week were his transfers...everyone changes pdays to wed. and they let their families know if/when they will be transfered but don't know yet until they go to the mission office on the following day and drive back with their new companion to their new area. Then on the following Monday (their regular pday) they are able to let their family know where they're at. How does it work for you?
well every transfer week, the APs send out a transfer text letting everone know who is transfering. and if you are transfering, you go to tacloban city and recieve a transfer letter with your new area and comp.
Do you think that you'll be with your companion for another transfer? I'm assuming that this week will be transfers for some elders there? Or am I off a week?
Ya im with elder wood for another transfer. fun times
Last time you mentioned in your letter.."it was fiesta in his burunguy" Does that mean that certain cities have parties on certain days? Or all over philippines was fiesta. What sort of holidays do they have?
the certian city will have a party for a day. each barunguy has their own special day for it.
How has your investigator work been going?
REFER TO LETTER ;)
Make sure you tell me when you eat weird food.
well we were at sister daloris' house, and she gave us numka, or jackfruit in english. it tastes like an apple, bell pepper and a banana all together. it was gross. we also ate "beacle" at her house. its like rice pudding. but not as good. if it had cinnemon, it would be better. Also, she chopped down some sugar cane for us. we were confused as to how we should eat it, after all, it was just a pealed stick. she told us to chew the wood and swallow the juice. it was surprisingly simalar to watermelon. she also told us that if we swallowed to wood, we would die. We were careful not to swallow it :) it was fun
Best thing that happened this week? And worst?
best sacrament and investigator, worst, leaving the pizza place in ormoc. ahahaha
Where are you in reading the Book of Mormon?
