San Vicente

Well I am out here in San Vicente Daet which means I traveled from one side of the mission to the other.... that was a huge party. I think I spent a total of like 6 hours in a bus. it was great.
Monday was my last day in Iriga. We went and had a great time doing stuff together for pday. We got massages from the massage chair and shopped around some other places. then we had a member feed us dinner that was super good. some fish thing. Elder Wilkins didn't like it too much. 
Tuesday was travel day. We got up at like 5 to get on the bus so we could make it to naga before 8. Once there I met my new comp elder Wells. fun fact he was elder Wilkins comp in the mtc. He is super cool and we have had a good time together. He is from Morgan Utah.... I had no clue where that was.... We spent the rest of the day travelling. Great news about the area we get to use bikes!!!! that has been crazy fun but makes my butt hurt pretty darn bad as well. 
Wednesday we got to work in the area. It is a lot of just trees and jungle but that's okay. They just finished baptizing a lot of people here so right now we are back to square one. Finding. 
Thursday we continued finding and met a couple people from the ward. Oh yeah that is pretty cool news. I am in a ward. First time that has ever happened. cool experience we had nowhere to go at night so we said a prayer and both felt prompted to go down this one road and try a certain house. the guy at the house said buzz off but we oym'ed these two girls and both of us just felt the spirit way strong so we must of done something right. 
Friday was district council. I am in a district of 8 which is cool considering the last couple have just been 4 of us. 
Saturday we just did some more finding. taught a couple lessons which was great. the people here are all willing to listen but action is a little tough. 
Sunday was fun. We got to meet the ward. they all seem really supportive so I  think the work here will really get going pretty good. 
my favorite scripture is probably moroni 10:32 it is a good one. 
I love you all so much have a great week!!!

Dec. 10, 2018

Is it bad that I kinda put off emailing you because I despise trying to remember everything I did this week? 
Monday we just did pday stuff. we had a super long practice because we had to prepare to sing in Iriga as a zone.
Tuesday we had a really fun time finding. It actually went really well. at first thing were really slow but then we found a little place that we had never been into before and taught like 3 lessons in there. 
Wednesday we did more finding but it didn't go nearly as well as tuesday did. but we did our best and were super tired by the end of the day so that is all that matters. 
Thursday was really fun. training was basically over so I had elder Wilkins lead the weekly planning and he did a great job. 
Friday we had district Council and then we also had practice for our choir concert in the plaza. Sad news after practice we learned that it got rescheduled to Saturday so yeah. too bad for our time to work.
saturday we had the big event! I am sure you could find it on Facebook or something. We sang Silent night and peace in Christ. it went really really well and I felt the spirit so I know at least a couple of people in the crowd did as well. also we got the news I am transferring. so that is fun. 
Sunday was the primary program so that was super fun to watch. Those kids are just dang cute and pretty funny as well. I am getting transferred tomorrow so that is pretty exciting. 
I love you all so much!!! have a great week!

Dec. 3, 2018

Happy December!! I guess its basically Christmas now huh? at least the rest of the world is finally catching up
 we have been celebrating for 3 months now. Monday was fun. just a pretty chill day really. nothing crazy happened.
 Tuesday we did some finding and more finding. lots of fun. I'm doing my best to wear out every pair of shoes
 I have. Wednesday we continued doing everything we could to find more people to teach. It was a blast. I
dunno I honestly don't really remember. Cool thing Joseph, our recent convert, worked with us every single
night this week except Saturday and Sunday. He is a real stud. Thursday I am pretty sure we just did finding
again. I drink a lot of coke when we go finding because I get tired and its only 15 piso for a bottle.... luckily we
walk it off. and I always make sure to drink lots of water as well. Friday I started to get sick so that was
pretty lame. it was just a sore throat but by the end of the day my head was killing me I my nose was totally
clogged. Saturday I woke up and thought maybe I died in the night. I felt so awful. but I had to do a service
project so I took some meds and went out to face the day. that was a blast but I survived so that is what matters.
 We also had a branch activity which was fun. kinda like a clothes giveaway. then they did a fashion show which
 was super funny. Sunday was a pretty normal day for us. We ran around like crazy trying to get people to
come to church and one person did so I think that is a win.
   
I love you all have a great week!!
