Casting out Spirits

-
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 right now. She told us her grand kids were taking pictures and they took a picture of this dark ghost in the attic and another picture of the same ghost in the bedroom. We went to their house the next morning and it turns our they really did have the pictures of this ghost. It was like this dark figure, kinda looked like a woman a little but super creepy. Kinda believable. Anyway we went up to the attic and had a blessing on the home. Had a quick lesson on the priesthood and then they gave us some snacks and we left haha. I told them to send the pictures to my email, but they haven't yet :/ 

Had a really good zone conference on repentance and they are now getting a lot more strict with the baptismal interviews. The less active rate is crazy high here in the Philippines. But we have had some special experiences with some people we have been teaching. Some are progressing a lot and its awesome to see. 

Love you 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...
