Elder Aidan Garry

Okay, another great week here in my area. First off, I didn't feel any of the earthquake, other people in our area told us they did. Too bad, I've never experienced an earthquake before. BESIDES that though the boys outside of our house are deep now in our well.  Met the main mayor candidate on Tuesday while we were getting water up the hill across the highway. Nice guy. Um Had some exchanges this week with Elder Hawks, he's from Houston. We had a fund day. That day there was a huge political rally for the mayor candidate we met earlier that week. Teaching wasn't so effective because everyone was there. Elder Hawks bought a 16 inch hot doge though haha. Freak I should've gotta pic.  On Friday we went back to Central and I guess circumcision was free or something the night before because there were tons of 7-10 year old boys running around holding their shorts out in front of them hahaha. That day circumcision seemed to be the main topic with most of our people w...

SO this week was pretty good, its hot as freak and everyone in the Philippines is running for some political position. I see a new face being hung up everyday running for Councillor, congressman, mayor or whatever, maybe ill put my own face up - "Elder Garry for Mayor" lol Anyway though Happy Easter!! Easter was pretty good, pretty ironic that we had like the least amount of people ever at our branch this week on Easter Sunday. I gave a talk on Resurrection, a few points from i t: - We are so lucky to have the gift of resurrection for each of us - No matter what happens to our bodies and spirits will reunite once again after death - Through the atonement of Jesus Christ this is possible   So blessed this Easter to be thinking of our Saviour Jesus Christ, and all that he has done for us, sometimes we forget the importance of this time of year. I know He lives. This week we had this thing called district attack which is when our whole district goes to one of our areas that...

I don't know what to subject these emails but yeah whats up everyone. idk who reads these. This week was fun, had a zone conference and then got to watch General Conference on Saturday and Sunday. My water situation is still a mess. Everyone lines up their buckets on one faucet in the neighbourhood we live in, the water comes on sometimes, but I feel like no one has jobs, everyone just spends all day getting water haha, feel kinda bad. They're digging a bunch of holes outside our house too. they're 16 metres deep on one and still no water. Hahaha idk who decided to build houses here but whoever they are they're kind of stupid. General Conference was super good. President Nelson is the goat, his talk on covenants was my favourite I think, I thought it really applied to me as a missionary. Being out here I've realized what really is important. Freak I don't like being this guy but honestly the the things that are truly important are the things President Nelson w...

Hey this week was pretty solid, don't even know what to say really, hit the 6 month mark here on the mish. Haven't watched General Conference yet, but I heard it was really good. It's delayed here in the peens so we are all watching it at the stake centre in Agoo this Saturday and Sunday. I think a lot of people thought that they could watch it in Agoo so we had like 15 people show up to church. Testimony meeting was really awesome. Work was pretty tough this week, we got punted pretty hard. I feel the work in the Philippines was just so prime back in the day in the 60s and 70's and now there are so many churches in the Peens it's hard to find people that are interested. Also everyone sleeps from like 2-3pm, and its getting hot out here, we are approaching hot season baby.  Was in a lesson this week with our recent convert and she was asking why the membership in our branch is so small. She was wondering why if the message is so true and the true church of...

Yo whats up everyone so this week was good. SO this week me and my comp are getting a long well. We played some basketball, and helped the other elders moved apartments. ate some dog... my comp Elder Llena is a chill. The members here are in Sison are so awesome. I love each of them. I can't believe I'll be here in Sison for 1 quarter of my mission, but I think I'll miss it here when I get transferred. So yeah this week we went to a members house for a birthday party with a bunch of people. We were  eating  some fish and rice and then some other guys brought some other meat to the table. I asked them what it was and they replied "baka" which is cow in Tagalog and then so I started  eating  it and it was a chewy. I felt like it wasn't really cow but something else. I asked them again and they said, "baka... baka  aso " "baka" is also "maybe" in Tagalog. so he said "maybe dog" freak they totally pranked me. But do...
