day 320 Transfer Week!

this week was a welcomed week.(i dont know if thats a word but oh well.) I was looking forward for this week for  the 6 weeks prior. ha. i endured. whoo! well we got transfer news on wednesday and when i saw that he was transfering and i was staying, i had a party in my brain. :) (I laughed outloud when I read this)I love this area. i love it here so much. i love the people. Brother P. is still doing so great, he came to church again. im so excited for him. so we packed on wednesday and left thursday morning for the transfer meeting in tacloban. I wouldnt have had to go had i not been called as a DISTRICT LEADER!!!!!! whooooo! hehehe I had some trainings in tacloban so i had to accompany him. i love it. i cant wait to give my training tomorrow. Its about Jesus. \

     so after the meetings, we traveled back to catarman, and as we were about an hour or two outside of catarman, the ZLs texted us asking if there were any injuries from the earthquake. we were driving during the quake so i didnt even get to feel it! i was kinda dissapointed cuz it was a huge one!!! elder ostler told me about it. so we got to catarman and everyone was evacuating to the mountains and higher ground. we dropped the sisters off and there was a police man who told us that the tsunami warning had been called off. so we just went home. we werent scared cuz we live on the second floor... but the whole thing was pretty cool. no damage or anything to any of the buildings. so saturday we had a CSP. it was planned from the week before. we just cut grass. lots of it. with knives and machetes. ha so primitive.

well that was about it for this week.

Love you.

Christian

Querstions:

Ok...drumrolll...who is your new companion?  Where is he from?  How long has he been out on the mission?

Ok. new Comp: Elder Villanueva. he is from mendanao. he is from an area where there are no white missionaries. they all get kidnapped. He speaks Ilongo. He also knows Cebuano and tagalog. He doesnt know waray though. so im helping him with that. he is only 4 months into the mission so hes pretty new still.

Are you training? is it harder than you thought?

nope

did you (the mission...pres. andaya) get calls or wonderings from moms in the states wondering about their missionaries? or is it standard to email in a case like this every time?

im not sure what happened. the zls just texted us and told us that president wanted us to email our families letting them know we are ok.

who has been your fav companion so far?  

I love elder Mahoni.
