Naghihingalo kami sa lorma :/

Hey everyone this week was definitely different than my other weeks here in the peens. Let's jump in.

So Tuesday started out with a bang with no water so we spent the entire day hand washing our clothes at a members house (DeGuzmans). That's the first time I've ever had to do all my laundry by hand. So thankful for a machine now, it takes so much time. The DeGuzmans's are like the nicest people I've ever met. Tatay is the honestly the real goat this week. Then we finally got home and got another call from a Brother King who wanted us to help him paint is house. We go over there and he had already some guys doing the job. 2nd time that happened to us at Bro. Kings house lol. SO we get home and we were dead tired and napped for a bit. Got out to work and met with a less active fam. The son had just arrived home from working in Saudi for 2 years. He was telling us crazy stories about hearing gunshots at night and seeing missiles lol. There are tons of filipinos that work there and its just a terrible work scene they say, especially for the women. 

Um so Elder Provido and I got some LBM [loose bowel movements] this week which was not that chill especially when you're out working. Asking people if it's okay to destroy their toilet is not an easy question to ask. Hahahaha. But I didn't get it very bad, Elder Provido had it for like 2 days so we went to the Hospital in San Fernando on Friday. There he got admitted, and there were no rooms available so we were chilling in the ER room. 5 mins in this guy came in with blood all over his head and had a huge gash in his head. Looked like he got shot. SO kinda disturbing. We got put in the hallway and we slept there the night. We couldn't leave until Sunday Morning.We got an aircon suite with a water heater the 2nd night so that was nice. So pretty hard week this week, but we still out here grinding and we got a baptism on Saturday for my fav fam Capon so super excited for that, Love you all!!

Have a good week everyone 

Elder Garry 



Capon Family!

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...
