On
Tuesday, we went to the sisters area for a while. We had a meeting with
our ward mission leader. It was awesome. Hopefully we will have some
members that will be able to work with us in the future.
Wednesday,
President came up and interviewed our whole zone. We also started
watching the new safety videos that the church put out for all of the
missionaries. They are pretty funny.
Thursday, we worked with
a missionary that just returned home from his mission in El Salvador.
He is incredible. Then, that night we got onto a bus for the 3 hour bus
ride down to the mission home. We spent the night in one house with like
20 other missionaries. It was actually pretty fun, but we didn't sleep
for most of the night.
Friday, we had a followup training for
my companion. We were all kind of half asleep for it, but it was super
good. President talked about how we can really apply the Book of Mormon
to the conversion of all the people that we teach. He also talked about
how we can all strengthen our faith by working to eliminate fear and
also become more obedient. Then, we sat at the bus stop for like 6
hours. It was rough. It is super hot down in the low-lands.
Saturday, the sisters in our ward had a baptism. It was awesome.
Then
earlier today, President and all of the office staff made their way up
here to Baguio to have a sports day. We played frisbee, soccer, and
basketball. It was super fun. Then we had what is called a "Butol
fight." We laid these big banana (butol) leaves on the table and then
just slapped food on top of it. Then everyone just digs into it with
their hands. It was delicious.
And this coming Saturday is
transfer calls. I really hope that I don't get transferred. I hope that I
will stay in my area for another transfer and just finish training my
companion. But, we will see. I will let you all know what happens next
week.
Sorry it is kind of boring. It was kind of a crazy
week. I hope all is well back home. I think about you all and send
prayers your way.
Love Elder Thomas
