Hey Friends and family. Well it was another good week here in Olongapo. We had the transfer meeting earlier and that was fun. We always make things a little suspenseful...and the other missionaries always get mad at us. Well we will be loosing our Filipino companion, Elder Adriano, I will really miss him a lot. He made our companionship so much fun, but I guess it means that president is trusting him enough to send him out on his own. We'll know tomorrow where he goes.
I told all the members that I was transferring...but I'm not so they will be so shocked when they see me again. he he he.
If you remember the Elder that got admitted to the hospital last week, he got to come out on Tuesday but he couldn't work. His body was drained. So I got to go over and work with his companion while a member sat at the missionaries apartment and watched Elder Christensen. He got a whole lot of language study in ha ha. As for his companion, he was not an Elder that I was particularly close to or had any desire to be close to because he is a little on the femme side, but for 3 days I worked with him and it really changed my view of him. He has epilepsy and took his rests for way too long and the area was suffering really bad, we interviewed them a few weeks ago and his whole attitude changed. I was having a hard time keeping up with him. He will be alright. Friday Elder Christensen was able to go out and work again so I came home and finished the work in the area.
As for the investigators, we had one pass his baptismal interview yesterday, Milan, he'll be baptized next Sunday. He has had so much stuff to change and remove from his life. He did it!!! The saying, "True doctrine, understood, changes attitudes" We are working with some others that are moving closer, Faustino Family. The whole family is listening and the kids are so smart it's ridiculous. They ask some of the deepest questions that I have ever encountered in my mission. ha ha Sometimes we have to go home, research, and teach that the next time we go to their house. They are doing good though.
Things have been pretty interesting with the whole Japan deal happening. I just keep singing "Its the end of the world as we know it... and I feel, fine...." ha ah its fun. One of our new members Rey, has a brother that's in Japan and they haven't heard anything from him since the earthquake so that's a little nerve wracking for them. We're praying for all of them.
Oh, one funny thing that happened. Yesterday morning we were cooking and our propane ran out!! We had half cooked lasgne on the stove, so we needed another heat source. We got the iron from the ironing board and plugged it in and cooked on it. It was pretty ingenious, ha ha ha, and I had to fix the light out back of our house and I didn't even get shocked!!!
This week looks to be an interesting one. A whole bunch of new missionaries in the zone and one sister will be training so we'll meet the new sister.
Love you all, thanks for everything.
