so this week has been really fun! one of the best weeks i have had so far,
and not because we taught a ton of lessons, we actually only taught like
5 people this week, but it was full of service. one day no one was home
and the thought came to my mind, who can we help? so we thought for a
minute, then it came. we went to see a family who only their oldest
daughter was home with the youngest but she was doing what we call laba
or laundry. instead of a washing machine you put your clothes in a
plangana or bucket type thing and washer soap and you wash it by hand.
its not exactly fun at first but its a lot cheaper than a washing machine.
luckily i know how to laba because that's how i wash my clothes every
week, its exciting. another day we thought the same thing and went
to another house where we made brooms called silhigs ill take a picture
and send it when the card reader gets here. but you take these long
leaves and use a knife to cut out the center stem and you tie those
together and that makes a silhig. then another day a member was doing
whats called bunot which is taking the outer shell off of a coconut and
then me and elder andrada used machetes to cut them in half, really fun!
we have helped a lot of people this week and from what I've seen
everyone we helped came to church, but not all the people we taught. so i
feel we need to really just help people more often and i have really
started to just notice ways we can help. its so cool how it works and i
hope i can continue to do that for the rest of my mission.
we have been able to teach two of our investigators about three times
one is the daughter in law of a member and the other is the
granddaughter of the same member and they seem to get everything we are
telling them. when we asked questions to see if they understand they
have stuff to add, its so amazing, they are so ready for this and i really
hope to stay here and see them get baptized. well this week i had
to submit a a report about elder andrada and his progression and after i
submitted to the zone leaders and they reported it to the assistants
the assistants called and asked if i could just switch rooms and become
the new zone leader in tolosa luckily that was just a joke but at the
same time i worry because one of the zone leaders is going home. we just
left him in tacloban this morning and all 7 of the people going home are
either assistant to the president or zone leader so they need new ones
in a few days. but i feel like I'm going to be in san roque for one more
transfer so that's ok with me. but wherever the lord needs me I'm willing
to go.
so for your questions yes i know elder misalucha and i also
the elder that we left in tacloban this morning his dad served with dad
elder senolos and i met a few people here in tolosa that know dad too
one is sister perrez she said dad was bugoy pero maupay gehap or kind of
disobedient but a good missionary and there was one more but i don't
know his last name just brother jun they both said they know you kind of
weird as well the apartment is a little different we have ac window
units and running water but the table is really small and there are four
of us and its a gas stove again but that's ok im learning to cook on it
but as well i found a card reader but not sure how long it will last so
I'm sending a few pictures right now well that's all i love you all and
know that tyler will be fine in about 4 and a half months lol or 6 but i
love you all and wish you all the best.
