Kamusta kayo lahat!! I hope evryone is doing great. I miss you all. The week was my first week in the feild. So it was alot to take in haha.
Wednesday-
Today was my first day in the feild. I left the MTC early in the morning and traveled to the mission office/ home in manila. When I arrived I met the Mission President and his wife. I love them already they are such great people. We had a few hours of Oreintation and were taught a few things that happen in the feild. After all the clasees I met my trainers. Elder Rosete and Elder Agbisit. They are zone leaders! They don’t speak alot of english so thats super fun hahah. We arrived to are little aprtment wich was very humbling to see. Besides the rats and cockroaches that live in the house it’s great haha.
Thursday-
Woke up and went to a 4 hour ZL meeting because my comps are zone leaders. It was very long but it was good to get to know the mission president more. We went to a huge mall that was 4 stories. We needed to buy a charger for are phone that we share. This was my first time in public and I was getting a few dirty looks here and there haha.
Friday-
Crazy day today!!! An American Elder crashed at are place with his comp. The next morning he had his bags packed and was going home after 2 months of being here. So there goes my fellow American. His companion lives with us now. We have been working in a companionship of 4. Me and three fillipino elders it’s awesome.
Saturday-
Got alot of work done today! My companions bought me this street food for breakfast in the morning. It was tofu with brown sugar water. It was the weirdest thing ever and after I ate it my stomach was in pain. Oh I forgot to mention that missionaries havn’t been In this area for 2 months so we have zero idea what were doing haha. We found a member and they took us all around mebers home to talk to them. Kids in the streets when the see me either run away from me or run up to me and give me high fives and talk to me haha. One little kid ran up to me and handed me a note he wrote. I get alot of looks.
Sunday-
First Sabbath day in my ward!! We are the new missionaries in the Area so the bishop had us bare are testimonies. I forgot that I have to speak tagalog now so I gave my full testimony in tagalog. It was crazy to speak in front of people because I know my tagalog is so broken. It went really well. We met alot of good people and many intrested people.
Monday- First pday sa feild. Started out on a great note. We had no more water and food. We ran out of money. Luckily we gathered enough money to buy some water and rice to eat for the day. President challenged us to find two people today even tho it’s are pday. So we went out and its so amazing how willing people are to talk and let us in there homes. We met an old lady and she was so happy that we shared a message with her. She said that if we didn’t stop her she wouldn’t of been able to here a message about Jesus christ and she wanted to read the book of morman. This was music to are ears haha. She wants to visit with us soon. Oh yeah during are message a rat the size of my dog passed by me. I took a second look cause I thought it was a cat because there are so many here wild. But no it was a giant rat. Then to make it worse I get home and there is a rat chillen in are kitchen. Thought it was a scene from ratatouille and he was gonna cook us dinner in are kitchen haha.
