Wow. I wish my week was that eventful!
I didn't get transferred. Elder
Bellen and I are still companions, and this is his last transfer. So that means
I'll still be here when he goes home, then I only have one transfer. What I'm
trying to say is this is my last area. By the time I go home I'll have been
here for 8 and a half months.
Elder Bellen goes home on May 5th. So on May 9th I
get a new companion and we will be companions until I go home. That’s okay with
me, I love it here. Also its way better because everything I'm not taking home
with me I can just leave here. I want to leave enough stuff that I won't need
to fill two suitcases full. Most of my socks and polo’s (shirts) and other
things are so ruined it would be saying (pity) if I brought them home.
Yeah I think
so to. But I guess I can’t do anything about it, whether or not we feel like it
goes fast, and its only 2 years, right?
Wait I do
have them pala.(wait) The baptism was good we even had a piano and almost
started on time! I remember one time in Gabaldon the sacrament meeting started
on time and I was shocked. Well
President Martino starts on time and we're not ever late but the people here
come 20 minutes late for a meeting and are actually on time.

Sister Montero came to church today,
I was so surprised! I honestly didn’t think she would come, but she brought her
kids pa! Today we had SMC with President Martino, bilib na bilib ako sa kanya.
I hope someday I can be like him. lahat kasi ng (all because of
qualities), nasa kanya. For dinner we had Adobo with pineapple, petsay salad,
ang langka. Last supper ko ito kasi, kaya gumastos naman ako.

This morning we went on a tour of
PCC, it was way cool. They talked about Carabao coming from other countries and
how they use the Carabao milk to help farmers and other things. My grandpa
would love it here. I might be getting transferred, so we didn't go to
Friendship just in case. We had FHE at the Sylvia Family, and President Sylvia
gave us some really old church songs, like an old album called Bounce Back and
some Afterglow classics. napaka-corny.
March 26
Patay. (sad) I'm not getting
transferred. And neither did Elder Bellen, this is my last area. This morning
we taught a less active, Brother Cuizon. He said he doesn't come to church
because he wants to grow his hair long. In the afternoon we worked until 6:00pm
then got the transfer announcements. Kuya Baldo fed us hito and lumpiang
masagana.

Today we had DDM in Guimba, and
since E Elep is in Guimba the Forts gave us a ride. This old lady today after a
lesson looked at me because she wanted me to pray and she said "I like
you." Elder Bellen had a really hard time not laughing, because the word
for want and like is the same in Tagalog, but he knows the
difference, so we laughed about that for a while after the lesson. We had two dinner
appointments today, one at the DeGracia Family and one at the Gasmena Family. I
love Munoz/

Super tinatamad kami. I don’t know what’s
happening but I don’t like it. Sister Newigham told us she's coming to church
this week, I hope na matutupad iyan. WE had three eating appointments, pancit
lang ang pinakain sa amin
March 29
One of our investigators, Rey, told
us today he believes in Joseph Smith because he "read it in another Bible".
I don’t know what translation he's reading, but it’s not King James
March 30
What a day. This morning was
Angelica's baptism. She brought her friend Franco, who is actually the reason
she's being baptized. Today
Anyway, we ran into problems at the mission office because when Sister Martino tried to log into the testing center it wouldn't let her, and before Elder Bellen finished, two other missionaries came into the office so we were way behind schedule. Anyway after he took the test and Elder Adao took the test, we went to SM Tarlac and ate Pizza Hut with Elder Weimer (who was in Tarlac because of a trip to the dentist, I think his tooth cracked or something). Then we got on a bus and came to Cabanatuan, where I am emailing from right now. After this we still have an hour left of travel back to Munoz, super astig ang missionary work! So this weeks email isn't that great, sorry. Next week though we're not doing anything so I should be able to email for much longer. Anyway, tell everyone I love them and I'll see you sooner that you think
Love, E Williams
