It was transfer week for the Angeles Mission. On transfer week they wait to email on Wednesday so the missionaries that get transferred have the day to prepare to move. This makes it so every sixth week we will have to wait a week and a half for email and then we get another one again on Monday.
This week we spent more time "chatting" so here is our conversation.
Kenz wants to know what language do you speak when you go to heaven?
How is the Tagalog coming? And how is the teaching coming?
Yes this week was transfer week, sorry I couldn't email you Sunday but I am here now for the next two hours. Tell McKenzie the knowledge you have on this earth you will take with you to the Spirit World and into Heaven also, but I imagine because we will all be perfected, glorified people in Heaven we'll probably speak whatever language Adam spoke when he was in the Garden of Eden.
So happy to hear from you! Will this be the way it is on transfer week?
Are you going to write us a long email about your week? And pictures?
Every six weeks I will email you on Wednesday. I'll always warn you, but this last week I didn't realize we had transfers already. The purpose of this is for people who are transferring to their new areas on Thursdays get all of Wednesday to pack up their things. I cannot believe it's already been six weeks.
I will send an SD card today if we can find a post office in Camiling (the city we have to travel to for our groceries and email) because ours is temporarily closed or something. I'm not sure because Elder Casilac has a really thick Filipino accent and his English sounds like his Tagalog. But it has pictures of traditional houses made from bamboo. I don't know what Adam spoke in the garden of eden, probably some refined, perfected form of Hebrew or Greek.
I can't email pictures this time because I haven't taken any lately, and the two SD cards i am sending are packaged up. I also don't know what to say about this week, do you have any questions?
Any crazy stories? Any investigators you want to tell us about? Have you lost any weight? Have you met any Muslims yet or are they all Catholics down there?
crazy stories:
You know that game Missionary: Impossible? there is a card in that game called "Monsoon" where a missionary is completely drenched with water and his umbrella is destroyed. That happens to us on a weekly basis.
We put out some fly paper the other day before we went to sleep. When I woke up, one piece of fly paper had a lizard stuck to it, and the other had a mouse stuck to it. I wish I would have taken pictures, but things like that are normal now so I didn't even think about it.
investigators:
I love teaching families with kids. the kids here either really like me or laugh at me like I'm a clown, but when we teach the kids seem to like it. Nothing special about any investigators really, we just continue to teach
I have not lost any weight. In fact, I'm getting fat. Believe it or not, since being here I've been able to pull skin from my stomach. I'm actually embarrassed because something like that has never happened to me before.
There's actually alot of religions here. Born Again, 7th Day, Jehovah's Witness, Muslim, Catholic, and Iglesia ni Cristo. Most of them don't attend church regularly, and probably some people tell us they're from a specific church to make us go away.
