Philippines Bucket List

First off sorry my email is super late again. But more importantly today I checked something major off my bucket list. I'll talk about that later. So last Monday was my last time in the city for who knows how long and to celebrate me, elder Chadburn, Elder Gregory and Elder Gamas went to a store that has these massage chairs and gave them a try. It was worth it for sure. Man I think you should probably buy one so it will be there when I get home. Anyways Tuesday I transferred out here to Pasacao. I just love it so much out here. First the house has AC. It is super expensive to run it I was told so we only have it go for couple hours while we go to sleep. It has just been the best thing ever. Of course I might be singing a different tune when I get the electric bill. The rest of the house is pretty nice as well. It is just Elder Mafi and I there so we have plenty of space. Elder Mafi by the way is super cool and way funny. He is 22 years old and from Tonga. Also just as a fun bonus he is batch with me so of course we are just naturally close. He just loves to joke around and have fun so being with him has been a blast. My whole district is only 4 people. Elder Mafi and I and two other elders that work in the next town over from us. They are super nice as well. The rest of  Tuesday was just unpacking and then we worked in a little place right behind our apartment.   Wednesday we had zone conf and that was a blast like always. I just love the spiritual boost I always get from it. Thursday we just worked hard and walked a lot. We are both so new in the area we are still learning where everything is and what we have in our area.  Friday we went out to a part of our area that has the ocean in it and it was beautiful. Sadly the work there wasn't as great. All of the people that we went to to teach ended up not being there so it was just lots of walking in the sun. Saturday we had a member that was willing to work with us the whole day and that was super nice. He really helped us learn the area and showed us some old investigators and places that we should teach. The people here are all super nice which I really enjoy.  Sunday of course we went to church and Elder Mafi and I both gave some great talks. We also went out to a area that is kinda far away and on the way back elder Mafi wasn't feeling good. so we went home. By the time we got home he was just about dead honestly. It took him all his energy just to get up the stairs and into bed. I made him some food and after he ate and I gave him a blessing he was feeling much better. Today we tried to find a place called Bahay cave. It took us the whole morning and we hiked all over a mountain but we didn't find the dang cave. But I did get to ride a karabaw so one of my major life goals has been completed. 

I love you all so much and miss you a ton. Have a great week!!
