Elder Aidan Garry

Whats up everyone.  So this week was decent, we were pretty busy because we had to do choir practice a couple times this week. And got straight punted by most of the people here. But we happened to some good lessons with our solid people so that was good. It's about quality not quantity. It didn't really rain either this week which was nice, but I think we are close to rainy season.  We were walking to the big mall on wed to go pay our bill and we ran into this guy cause he yelled out "elders!" we talked to him and told him I'm from Calgary Canada, and then he told me his trainee was from Calgary, when he served in the Baguio Mission back in the day. I asked him what his name was, and he told me it was Kipp Craig! My stake president. He couldn't believe it and then we chatted and took a picture. Small world he said lol.  So yeah then on Thursday night at like 9 pm on our way home from this less active member and she told us to come to their house rig...

Hey everyone, sorry I didn't email last week, but I got transferred! I'm finally in my second area! Only 1 hour away in the mountains in Baguio City. My new comp is Elder Harvey from West Valley Utah. They have a sick skate park there. But yeah he just finished his training so I'm his follow up trainer. He's super funny though.  He's hardworking and we have gotten along really well in the first week.  Our apartment and area are so dope, it feels like a different mission up here. They have pretty much anything, and tons of different food to choose from. We have kabahay (roommates) 2 pinos and they're awesome. We couldn't proselyte yesterday because of the election. So today was our P-day. But last week was dope and I said bye to all my people in Sison. I love that place and the members there. Gonna miss it.  My MTC comp Elder Cooper took my place in Sison which is hilarious. I hope he'll like it down there, I just feel bad cause its hard to get wat...

May 5, 2019 [Short e-mail from Aidan this week, he is being transferred so had limited time] Hey Fam: I’m headed to Baguio City!! Burnham park, which is at the heart of the city and the most popular park in the city, it’s pretty well known.  I heard that tons of people speak english, but I still want to improve my Tagalog so I’ll work on it. This is the area that all the missionaries in my mission hope to go to!! I have that talk by Tad R Callister!! about the BofM and how it was either man made or god given.  Tons of evidence.  I know it comes from god because I’ve felt the power of the testimonies of the prophets.  There could be so much historical evidence about it to make it true but it really goes down to: I have felt that it is true and Jospeh Smith is a prophet because of the spirit that I’ve felt.  Hard to explain a little bit.  The saviour and his teaching give us so much purpose and meaning in life, I sometimes...
