Email #18 - 4 Month mark...


Hi everyone, I am going to have to make this email brief.

[Monday - February 10, 2020 - Day 118]

Took the longest bus ride standing up to Mariveles. It also took forever to get a bus. Did the norm at the computer shop. After, we went to Blueplate for lunch. We love that place. Before heading home, I bought this oreo churro, it was way good.

[Tuesday - February 11, 2020 - Day 119]

Today was a day for finding, we found some new people in Maligaya and Locanin. While on the finding journey, we came across this hidden village. Met a recent return missionary and talked about his experiences.

[Wednesday - February 12, 2020 - Day 120]

Went to Alion today, nothing much happened. Went to our ward mission leader's birthday party.

[Thursday - February 13, 2020 - Day 121]

This morning, me and Elder Bybee completed our weekly planning. Packed some stuff to bring to Mariveles so that we could go to Balanga for Zone Conference tomorrow. Ate at this burger place called Angels.

[Friday - February 14, 2020 - Day 122]

Woke up at 5:00 AM to get on a bus heading to Balanga. Arrived a little before 9:00. The health advisor brought a weight scale, I guess I have lost 40 pounds since I started my mission. After zone conference, went to vista mall. This place is awesome, Elder Hoffman and Elder Orr went with us. Elder Orr had to buy a new camera. Ate at Mcdonalds, and since it was Valentines Day, Mcdonalds gave all their customers valentines pens. Headed home in a UV (A really expensive way of transportation. Van)

[Saturday - February 15, 2020 - Day 123]

Woke up at 5:00 AM again to do exchanges with our kabahay's. We first went to Dinginin. The place where you need to get on a rescue vehicle to get through the private property zone. During teaching, all these kids see me and start storming the door. It was crazy.

[Sunday - February 16, 2020 - Day 124]

Had a baptism today! We thought I may have to baptize in the ocean again cause the water pump wasn't working but we eventually got it up and running again. Everything turned out awesome.

[Closing]

Sorry for the brief email, we are going on a hike today. Everyone please take care and I'll talk to you next week.
