Tonsilitis

-

Hey everyone! So this week was great, besides a couple things. We are slowly trying to figure out a schedule for our area. It has been great. It's awesome to be back in the lowlands, where the people yell at you from inside their wooden house "BROTHER!! SHOT TAYO BROTHER!!!" just like my first area. 
It was a lot different in Baguio, I mean, people drank too, but here it seems almost everyone that is over the age of 20 is drinking by 6pm. HAHA

So my throat has been killing for the past week and then on Thursday I woke up and it was hurting so much and I looked in the mirror, couldn't see my uvula. SO i knew something was wrong. I called the mission nurse and I realized I couldn't speak normally. I sounded so weird hahaha, I wish I got a video. 
SO the nurse told me I probably had tonsillitis and that I needed to go to the doctor. But zone conference was that day and I didn't want to miss it. So the other missionaries were laughing at my voice all day haha. Waited forever at the doctor and then got some antibiotics. Everything i all good now, I can finally eat. 

The rest of the week was fun, we have teaching some people, we are right on the ocean so a lot of people are fishermen. Cool job for sure. I would love to go fishing with them one day but ... 

Zone conference was awesome, we talked about faith. We are all scared, we are all living in a world where we can't see everything clearly. So we need to act in faith. Ether 12:6 is one of my favourites and has been my entire mission. 

Love you all, I hope everyone enjoyed halloween. I know I did waiting at the hospital to get my throat checked :)

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...
