aynako!! this was a weird week!! it wasn't like super hard but just we all felt a lil weird...probably because we found out on Tuesday night that we had to make the 2 hour bus ride to Baguio on Wednesday... but any who!!
Monday was p-day and that was pretty tight!! just talked with the fam and did some shopping!1 nothing super crazy there!!
Tuesday was a pretty standard work day as well!! just really trying to find!! we spent like 3 hours in this really sketchy barangay on the coast called Belwarte trying to find these two dudes that just randomly showed up at church the Sunday before!! we actually ended up finding their mom but it was awesome to get to know that area and the people there better.. plus no lie its super sick to proselyte on the beach hehe. plus the people there even though its our least active area, the people there are soo so so kind...
Wednesday: we got to go to Baguio!!!! it was flippin dope there!!!! except it kinda sucked because it felt just like we were in America! Everyone spoke English and was kinda rude and it was kind of weird to NOT get weird looks for being sobrang maputi... but I got to buy a ukulele which was dope and also Baguio feels like Flagstaff in the fall so it was nice to get out of the heat a bit.
Thursday was a pretty hard day just because we were tired from the day before but yeah just did lots of finding because all 5 of our appointments punted us which kinda sucked but hey...magigin maayos lahat..
Friday was a dope day!!!! we actually just did a ton of finding and then the sisters in our area needed us to go to an appointment with them because it was just a single tay. so that was cool!! and then we had a dinner appointment at Bishop's house
Saturday was a learning day: we did a lot of exploring and finding and actually taught this amazing lady named Lordess! she seemed pretty receptive and started crying during the lesson because she was moved at the fact that two young men would give up two years to share the word of God.. so we are really excited about her and are going back this week. also we got to help this lady with her palay (rice before it has been processed) it was actually super cool because she turned out to be a member of a church that doesn't like us very much so that was sick to do and also a good work out hahah those bags of rice weigh 80 pounds a piece.
Sunday was good too because we just got to go to church and then went out to go teach with a stud of a member named Christian. he actually just got home the transfer I got here so he has been home the same time I have been out. but he is a stud and just got called to be in the Bishopric so I'm stoked for him..but anyways we went and got to teach those guys that we found on Tuesday. and it was a very powerful lesson.
anyways that's pretty much the week!! just trying to study my buns off and get better at the language. but its a grind for sure. but a lesson that I have learned this week is to always try to see the good in everything. no matter who or what it is. because as I am learning in life everyone you meet is your superior in some way. always stay humble and prayerful and never think you are above anyone else. anyways mahal ko kayo!! pls shoot me an email if you want!!
