[Introduction]
OFFICIALLY HAPPY NEW YEARS!! I can't believe it is 2020. It honestly doesn't feel like a real year.
[Monday - December 30, 2019 - Day 76]
Today was long, got up and got packed to go to Marviveles for the day. We get out the door and onto a bus and of course I forget my nametag, sweat rag, and a blanket for the night. I must of been so tired. Sat in the most uncomfortable spot on the bus, the money collector on the bus was constantly climbing over me. It didn't help that me and my companion had to bring our kabahay's bags too. Went to the computer shop and did the usual. Afterwards, the district headed to this expensive filipino restaurant. I wanted to try their steak and potatoes. Was it good? Yeah. Would I get it again? No, I wouldn't. After lunch, we went and dropped our bags at the Mariveles house. Got dressed in hiking clothing and went out on our way to Five Fingers. Since I forgot my nametag, Elder Mcnamee gave me one of his tags. So I became Elder Mcnamee for a minute. Elder Orr gave me a magnetic tag so I decided to use that one instead. So now I am Elder San Diago. Five Fingers was absolutely beautiful. The pictures that I took don't do it justice. It started raining when we got back from the hike.

Got up and looked for a game of Basketball. I can't believe it is New Years and that I ain't home for it. Went to District Council and headed back too Cabcaben. Not a lot happened but since we had a curfew, so we had to be inside our house by 6:00 PM. My companion, Elder Bybee, grilled up some burgers for dinner.
[Wednesday - January 1, 2020 - Day 78]
WOW! it is 2020. I can already tell it is going to be a crazy year. We had a curfew again, same time. Nothing really happened today, just ate a lot of food.

Today was a mess, none of our plans for the day went right. The people that we wanted to teach either weren't home or just didn't have time for us. I did see the largest Chuwawa though. We were talking to this person and she calls out his name and all of a sudden, this dog waddles out of a cardboard box. It was honestly way funny. Nothing else really happened.

Elder Renderkinect woke me up at 4:30 AM for exchanges. We had to get to this search and rescue station by 6:00 AM to get a ride through this stretch of road that is prohibited to walk on. This place called Ali Alison is in an unusual place, we taught there for a bit and had Elder Elison as my companion. Went back home and did our studies then swapped companions. Now I was companions with Elder Renderkinect and pretty much went finding for the rest of the day. It was a very productive day.

Got up and got dressed to go play Basketball im Empressa. It is honestly the best basketball court in the area. We travelled a lot today, we first went to this place called Batangas II, then to Housing. After going there, we walked to this town called Hardened then to Capital to remind our investigators about church tomorrow. Our last destination was Townsite. I finished reading through first Nephi for the first time.

Nothing really happened today. Watched a video about the upcoming changes coming to the church.

This is a refinery that cleans garbage out of the Ocean. They were going to do a visit of some new investigators, and they were not allowed to walk over to the area you can only be driven across. As they came across this is what they saw.
Patrick's new favorite Root Beer he found..
