A mans house fell down so we helped him pick it back up.
Hello everyone! Ol' Gare here from Sibalom. This week went very, very well. I am definitely adjusting way better to this place and starting to enjoy it. The dog bite wasn't really a big deal. Just a quick bite then he let go and I kicked it off haha. No mom I do not need you to send me anything :) At our house we do have a fridge and a little gas two burner thing to cook on. We also have a normal toilet. I sent home a package today so I hope it gets home in time for Britt's birthday and Mom and Dad's anniversary. I got lots of little things in there for you all.
This week is the end of my first "transfer" which happens every six weeks. Some people change areas and some stay. I am staying with my trainer Elder Bosotros at least six more weeks. The next transfer is March 25.
I am proud of Konner, that is rad he got baptized! When I get home he will be Britts age! I got a DearElder from Koby today so tell him thanks for me!
Some funny thing happened this week. First of all we have a girl we are teaching that wants to be baptized when she turns 8. She asked us for an Aklat Ni Mormon and we told her we would bring her one. ooops. We forgot haha and so when we went back she was upset and said she wanted to say the opening prayer. In her prayer she prayed that we wouldn't forget her Book of Mormon again haha, so we made sure we had it the next time.
We also taught a lady who is about 60 or 70 and we were talking about the Book of Mormon and she said she was told years ago the Book of Mormon came from the moon so that’s what she has believed all these years haha. Saturday we had a branch home teaching thing where we all met at the church and went to inactive members.
I went to Barangay called Pasong where they where having what is called a "fiesta day." At fiesta day there are just a ton of people in a community that cook huge amounts of food and so we ate and ate and ate until we were stuffed. It was awesome. I ate something called "dinuguan" which is blood that you put over rice. It was nasty. I still haven't eaten balut and I don’t want to any time soon.
Please tell gramps happy birthday for me today!
Thanks for everything. I Love you all. Elder Christensen
