Email #19...

Hey everyone! This week has been a slow and kind of an uneventful week.

[Monday - February 17, 2020 - Day 125]

Me and Elder Bybee stayed in Cabcaben for the computer shop. Had to rush cause we decided that we wanted to go on a hike but the hike was cancelled because we needed a tour guide, and it was about to rain. It also was a six hour trip one way. So me and Elder Bybee decided to do our three hours of proselyting for the day and then head to Mariveles with our house mates for the night. It got dark by the time we got to this mountain. It was pretty overlooking all the lights from the houses. After our night hike, we went and ate dinner at a members house.

Had our second to last District Council of the transfer. Went to our favorite place, Billy's Grill. The employees decided it was a good idea to weld inside the restaurant in front of everyone. Kind of funny.

For exercise time, Elder Elisan and Elder Bybee decided to dig a pit in our backyard so that Elder Elisan can burn our trash.While they were digging, I was sitting at my desk when I hear Elder Bybee yell for me. When I got out to the pit, on their shovel, was an unknown bug of some sort. None of us could figure out what it was. Then we found a few more of them. We decided to place them into an ice cream container. We left them their for the rest of the day. It wasn't until we came home that night and checked on them that we found that the ants have gotten to them and killed them. Everyone could see the ants carrying little bits of the bug away from the container. Elder Elisan had permethrin and sprayed all the ants to death.

Me and Elder Bybee went to Alion, nothing happened today.

[Friday - February 21, 2020 - Day 129]

For this morning, we walked over to Maligaya to teach. Afterwards, we got on a bus to get a ride down to Mariveles to meet with Elder Orr and Elder Canal. Ate at this burger place for lunch called Angels and then started exchanges. I took Elder Canal back with me to Cabcaben and we went to go teach in Housing. I took the lead in a Tagalog lesson for the first time, it was rough.

[Saturday - February 22, 2020 - Day 130]

We were still doing exchanges. During our personal study, I accidently fell asleep and woke up around 10:30. We were suppose to be out by 10:00 so I hurried and got my stuff, me and Elder Canal ran out the door. So I decided to take Elder Canal to Maligaya, we found this area that me and Elder Bybee hasn't explored yet. It was kind of interesting, at the end of this trail, there is this bamboo bridge that crossed this wide river. It was a little sketchy crossing it. Elder Simene and Elder Elisan was suppose to secure this unlimited buffet but unfortunately the buffet didn't open around lunch time

A pretty normal Sunday. But, I want to share that I have been studying the books in the Pearl of Great Price. It has helped to confirm my knowledge of things. I am grateful for this book and the Book of Mormon. And I am excited that it is what we are studying this year.

Thank you everyone who reads my weekly emails. I love you all and can't wait to update you all next week. Take care!

Now that is a piece of fried chicken..

So, they have to dig a hole in the backyard to burn their trash. The other day this is what they dug up. They didn't really want to know what it is.. Lol

They put them all in a bucket and returned later to see the Ants had gotten to them and killed some of them. Then they sprayed everything with Permethrin. It's something they give them over there that kills bugs instantly. Patrick has to spray himself and his clothes and in his house daily with this stuff.
