Aso Eating - March 31, 2019

-


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 don't worry I repented after. 

We went to this less active members house for a special sacrament because he had a stroke a couple years ago so he can't come to church. After we started and singing hymns for this tatay, I had a super spiritual experience as we sang and prepared the sacrament for him. Its crazy how much I realized I love this church and this gospel. And how strong the spirit can be no matter where you are in the world. We are sitting in this home, and everything is so 3rd world. Its crazy how much I've learned being here for 4 and a half months. I love this work and the Philippines so much.

love u all
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...
