Well people in America, or where ever you are, I am doing great! This week was very very slow. ok so first lets get aquainted with the area. Ormoc is one of the biggest cities around. consider it SLC, merida is comparable to provo and about the same distance as SL to provo.
so on monday, pday, we went to ormoc to withdraw our support. there are no atms here in merida. so we went there and went to the grocery store and bought groceries and hud. so it was pretty fun. we went to a restoraunt called moon cafe. it is comparable to a decent restaurant in provo. maybe los hermanos. well anyways they have baby back ribs there!!!!!!! so i always order them. they are about 200 pesos, which is around 5 bucks!!! sweeeet. so i ate like a king. ;)
ohhh.. so while we were in ormoc, we were informed that the money had not yet been transferred into our accounts. so we hung out for a bit at the zls place and stuff and they werent able to transfer it at all.
so we are about to run out of money, due to bus fares and what not, so we were going to go back on wednesday. also to drop off an elder for transfers. Elder Morris' comp, our DL got transfered so Elder Morris spent the day with us on wednesday. he slept over and we went to ormoc together.
on thursday to go to the Jubilee expo. it was a celebration of 50 years of the church being in the Pines. it was fun. each missionary was in charge of a booth where he explained an aspect of our church. all sorts of people came. members, non members, investigators ect. after that we ate lunch at Greenwich pizza. IT WAS FETCHING AMAZING!!! REAL PIZZA HAHA so we were also waiting for elder morris' new comp. so it turned out that they didnt leave tacloban city till six. it takes about two hrs to get from tacloban to ormoc. so we left elder morris in ormoc with the zls. so we returned to merida that night. it was all kinda crazy and well..... mostly....crazy.
this week we were punted quite a bit, which isnt out of the ordinary. so we went about our normal day for the rest of the week. on sunday we were expecting an investigator to show up for church. we were in
preisthood and he wasnt there. so we went on for a while and we were super sad. Then like 30 mins later, he walked through the door!! WHOO HOOO. so now we officially have a progressing investigator. Hes
super ready to be baptized too. That sacrament was fast and testimony meeting. so we did sacrament
like normal and started the testimonies as normal. I dont know why but that sacrament was probably the most ive ever felt the spirit in a sacrament meeting. it was so amazing. the people were just normal people bearing normal testimonies but i felt something way out of the ordinary. i loved it. i hope im able to have more amazing experiences like that.
well ya thats about it for this week.
love you mom
Christian
