First
item of business, my new companion is Elder Sabado, he is from
ordineta, which is somewhere in the Philippines. he speaks Tagalog, and i
miss being able to speak English with my old companions! he is a pretty
cool guy, still has the fresh from the MTC attitude.
our area is often called "Amerikina" because the
houses here are so giant, and the roads are so clean. we live in a Giant
house! and we have a real shower and a toilet that flushes and the
shower head is on a tube, so it doubles as a bum washer! its like a
dream come true! we live in a community called provident village, and
there is a guard that rides around on a bike with a shotgun strapped to
himself, its pretty awesome. the only downside is that there is hardly
ever anyone outside! not even crazy little kids that want to talk to us
and ask us for money, its a little depressing.
we don't have very many investigators, mostly just
less actives right now. we went tracting on Saturday, and it was
raining pretty bad, and we tried so many houses and didn't even get into
one! but we did have a first where a guy actually swore at us! i had
never heard that before. and another guy said that he lives in Utah and
is just visiting, but was to busy to let us in.
My birthday was pretty awesome, i bought pizza from pizza hut for lunch, then we went to chowking for dinner, and they bought me a cake after that! it was pretty awesome.
there is one downfall to the ward, we start church at 7:30 in the morning, and then they wonder why they have poor church attendance, i think i counted 30 people at sacrament meeting.
next awesome thing is that there are 2 malls in our area, and 1 right across the street from the boundaries! P days are going to be awesome.
Marikina is known for their shoes, there is the Sapatos festival going on right now, I am going to see if i can find some awesome shoes.
well for the question concerning you guys coming here to pick me up, as awesome as a new car would be, it would be awesomer if you guys came here and visited to pick me up, i think later on you could coordinate with the mission president or someone about getting plane tickets to go home on the same plane as me and such.
alright i will try to sent some pictures.
our house mates are Elder Rakuro from Fiji, and Elder Jones from California. i am pretty glad that Elder Rakuro is from Fiji, Elder Cava transferred to another area as well.
