We
got to the pickup place and there was a 14 passenger van. Then, we fit
19 of us on it and started our 3 hour ride up to Querino. Transportation
here is wild. You can always fit one more person that you think into a
vehicle haha. It was kind of rough, but it was absolutely beautiful.
There are little bamboo huts everywhere. I was completely lost because
the people up there really only speak Ilicano. I hardly even know
Tagalog yet, so I was lost. But it was super fun.
Another
highlight this week was that we had 6 investigators that attended
church. They are progressing really well. And we are now teaching a
couple of families which is super fun. We have 16 people that are on
date for baptism. We have almost more work than we know what to do with
which is definitely not a bad problem to have as a missionary.
We
are almost positive that this next week, with transfers, we will get 2
more Elders in our area. I am pretty sure that I am going to train which
might be a little bit rough. But, there are actually quite a few
Filipinos coming in this batch, so there is a chance that we won't be
completely lost.
I love it here. The mission is by far the
hardest thing that I have ever done, but I love every second of it.
Sharing the message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is really one
of the most important things that we can do here in this life. I love
you all back home, I think about you, and I send lots of prayers your
way from this side of the world.
Love Elder Thomas
