Cook Is My Favorite Drink

-


Hello everyone, this week was good, I'll keep her short with some funny stories that happened this week. First of all still no water, so we are looking for a new apartment. Transfers is next week so ill probs stay at get a new comp, maybe ill train :) I honestly hope i get a foreigner so I can really push myself to learn this language. I rely on Elder Provido so much.

We had to do exchanges with the ZL's again on Friday to do the interview for the Capon Family. I went to Damortis and got to stay in "the mansion" its a huge house. Exchanges was fun with Elder Maddox, he's from Utah and been out for a year. We got rejected pretty hard, maybe because we were tracting close to the church so they were familiar with us. Then we taught this one guy so that was good. We held mission prep for some teens in their ward, so that was good. Then we had bonding night at the church and there was a bunch of kids that remembered me from last time we did exchanges. They were all over us though hahaha love those kids. A bunch of people just show up to play basketball on the courts and aren't members haha. 

The mansion house is super sick, theres so many weird things in it, plus they have water so thats nice. 

Okay so Saturday Elder Provido and I were finding and we found this guy, he's like 22, and really shy. I asked him what his job was and he said "cook" but with his accent I thought he said "coke" so I said "oh really? thats my favourite! where do you work?" he said close to Artacho (which is where we live) I asked him "is there a coke plant over there? I haven't seen one" he looked at me just so confused and Elder Provido gently says "he said cook" hahaha,
That same night we were visiting our guy Patrick who is like 30 and he's a little out of it and and I extended a baptismal date to him and he said "I'm not sure Elder because I don't have a girlfriend" I was just like "uhmm" just so confused. 
Anyway that was really rushed because I want to skype call my fam rn 

Love you all Hope you have a good week 
Elder Garry

Hey everyone! This was a solid week for me and Elder Fillo! We started this week out doing exchanges with our district leader and it was a great day. We had a fun time biking to the far areas and meeting some interesting people. One girl we met had a bunch of "text mates" we watched her facetime them and their all in Pakistan and India hahah one guy was like 50 and driving some weird bike in India and she was talking to him for some reason. None of my business I guess. We taught her the restoration and she found it interesting that we would come so far to just share a message with no salary./ hahah I understood why she thought it was weird. Then Wednesday we had some more exchanges with my guy Elder McAllister. His personality reminds me of Carson. A really good guy. He's from Australia and one of the coolest I've met in the mish. He has been struggling a little bit with his comp and so it was nice to focus on him and what he has been learning on his missi...

New Area!

Hey everyone! So I got transferred out of Baguio finally :( Super sad to leave that area because I was there for almost 6 months. But I expected to be transferred. So now I went down to the lowlands. To Bauang which is the next zone over from my first zone in Agoo. Just north of it.  But before I left I had the chance of watching Anthony Fajardo get baptized. We had met Anthony on the street in July and he had a bunch of questions about God and Heavenly Father and after teaching him for 1 month, he came to church and accepted to be baptized. And the Sunday before I left he got baptized. It was one of the best days on my mission. Watching Anthony get up to bear his testimony that He knows that Jesus Christ lives and that God has restored his church through a prophet was the best thing in the world. It made all the hard times I ever experienced in that area worth it.  I also got to speak in sacrament meeting before I left and thanked all ...

No time, no pics

Got like no time to talk about this week, but it was solid. Went on Exchanges, on Wednesday with Elder Cluff from Utah. It was something, just two white guys that don't know Tagalog trying to talk to people. It tested me so that was good. I really need to prepare myself for when I have to lead an area.  One time this week we were teaching this fam and the fam has tons of kids and in the middle of our lesson, all the kids got naked and were bathing with a bucket and scoop beside the pump. There was probs like 15 kids running around naked. SO it was pretty distracting. Hahaha made me think "where the heck am I right now", anyways Christmas time here is crazy, theres this huge Fiesta in Sison and it felt like a Filipino stampede haha. It was sweet though they have rides and food and tons of things to buy. But we just had to pass through.  Theres this one family we have a solid baptismal date for in January, so I hope I don't get transferred somewhere else. They...
