Howdy howdy everyone.
Well sadly, there is no news as interesting as last weeks
story about my left hand but I'll try to make this email as interesting as
possible.
So first off, I am going to be baptizing a cute little 11
year old this Saturday! I don't know her too well because the Sisters in our
ward taught her but she wants me to baptize her! It's probably because she
thinks it will be cool for the only white guy in the ward to do it, but it was
awesome saying "oo"(yes) to her nervous face when she asked me haha.
So like I said last week, Dumanjug has been getting lots of
meal appointments for my birthday coming up and some of them have already
happened. And, oh my golly, has it been awesome!!! We have a few wealthy members in the ward and they have treated us to some very nice places. I'll
attach a few pics don't worry. But this week, and the next few days, I have
eaten some good foods. Also, a Korean man, Tony, came to church a few weeks ago
and mentioned he was baptized like 20 years ago but just over the years has become
super inactive. So on Thursday or Friday (I really can't remember individual
days, everything is flying by) we were able to meet and teach him. He's here
for a few months just on vacation but his hotel that he's living in is AMAZING!
Just look at the picture that is attached. But anyways, since he is Korean, he
knows a little bit of English but NO Bisaya! So I was able to FULLY lead the
whole lesson and let me say, it has been the first time I have felt like a TRUE
missionary!!! Kinda sad to say that, but I was just going on and on about how
God loves us and how the Gospel of Jesus Christ can help us and our families
and it was just so amazing! Finally, Elder Dumanjug knows how I feel during all
our normal lessons haha. "Ohh how the turn tables!"
Yesterday was Christmas Con!!! The whole island of Cebu
missionaries got together and after President and Sister Pajaro addressed, we
played games and had skits and at the end we all got a little goodie bag. There
are 5 zones on Cebu island and each zone had to prepare a skit or video. 3
zones did a live skit and 2 zones did a video. My zone, City Zone, did a skit
and it is pretty dumb but it is kind of hilarious. The licking the ice part and
me singing our version of Last Christmas got everyone dying. It was a really
good time!
There is one more week in this transfer and hopefully by
next Tuesday night I will know where my new area and who my new companion will
be. I'm really excited because I just want to experience something new and the
companionship on Siquijor is breaking up so... you know what that means, Elder
Grasse has another request in his daily prayers haha.
That's it! Love you all and I hope you are all doing maayo
gyud!!!
