day 236 Transferred!

well... i got transferred... to the furthest away area in the mission. I am in Catarman, on samar island. it is the northern most part of the mission. Its SOOO far away!!!! My new comps name is elder Theobald. He is the same batch as elder wood. so ya. umm i am speaking waray waray now. its pretty crazy. there are three different dialects with waray. Waray S. Waray H and Waray Cebuano. the first is what im using. Waray S. its sooo wierd. i can understand most of what is said but speaking is just super hard. i just speak Cebuano to people and hope they can understand me. I was getting super good and comfortable with Cebuano, then i get transferred. ha thats life. 


well i miss elder ebite cuz he was fun and stuff and really a chill guy. i think he is still planning on writing ashley. hahahahah it was so funny. 


ha well monday tuesday wednesday, we worked in merida. thursday, i packed and went to ormoc for the night. we left for tacloban bright and early in the morning. it takes about three hours to gety to tacloban from ormoc, then from tacloban to catarman, its about 8 hours. uhhhgggg... that travel sucked, but wasnt the worst... it was hard to fall asleep, but i was asleep enough to not notice how long it took. we finally got to catarman at 1am... tired. well then we worked on saturday and sunday i spoke to the ward in cebuano and next week im going to speak again. and again in cebuano maybe in english, they understand more english that cebuano. so the area im in is really nice. if i could compare it to a town in utah, maybe selina, or something that is extremly small and not very developed. its city is a lot bigger than meridas. it doesnt have any bukid... just all city. its got a waffle shop. its super good. im not sure about post office though. it does have one, but im guessing that its going to be fetching expensive... well i got my camera and everthing in it! there was the camera, the knife and the candy. like yum!!! the reason it took so long, is cuz went all through us customs and stuff. when it came, it was taped shut with us customs tape. they went through it i guess. but it all got to me.

Ya well im enjoying my area. on sunday morning, we had two baptisms. we also have sisters in our area. its nice. the leaders are all super proffesional. i like it. everyone has a motor, its a lot richer area than merida. the ward takes care of itself. its so nice. we have a great ward mission leader. he is probably the best one in the mission. he could be comparable to a ward mission leader in america. Oh also, our water from our shower is super warm!!! holy cow. its like room temperature. its great. 

im gonna send home my two smaller mem cards. they have vids and great funny stuff on em.
well until next one. ta ta 
Love you
Christian
