First is a shoutout to the number one girl in my life, my mom! Happy Birthday last tuesday mom!! You are the best and sure did/do keep us boys alive. Hope you enjoyed.
So my heading means i don't want to transfer. So
basically....i got transferred. I was absolutely heartbroken. It tore me up. I
literally cried on Thursday leaving. Because these four baptisms in Dap
Dap all wanted me to baptize them...so sad. This might have been the
hardest area to leave. And also, Elder Neri was my favorite companion so
far.
So i am now in a place called Moncada, Paniqui. We are
in a branch and a home group, so still no ward for me. My companion is
Elder Ordejan also from the Philippines. Very very nice guy and has been out
about 11 months.
Still not familiar with my area, but Tagalog is going really
good. I almost speak 100 percent Tagalog. My comp and the people
here are really pleasantly surprised. I switched places with the elder
who was previously here. He was also from india from the other mission
and he never spoke tagalog and is now in DapDap, and Elder Neri is struggling
with him which makes me sad. i am sooo devastated about being
transferred. I really miss the people there. So that is about all i
have to say this week about that stuff.
In answer to questions...As far as the (Christmas) package...i will think about it this week and
then let you know this week:) The baptism with Romel went through and i heard it was
really cool. Will send you pics that elder neri sent me next week.
Filipinos go (on missions) here, the states, guam, australia and lots of places.
We went hiking today for p-day as a zone up a mountain it was kind of
cool. Got to see elder parks and elder porter as they are in my
zone. Yep got jerseys. Quite a few of them. So cheap here.
getting good amount of sleep and eating decent. Just hot and draining.
Elder Basil didn't have to leave because he has indian family so he is an
overseas citizen so no visa for him. Lately i had
been praying to stay in dap dap but now my prayers have gone back to asking for
my visa. haha.
Thanks for the home update sounds great there! Pretty
cool about the handbook update. I am sure the media is eating that
up. The Meridian temple looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So beautiful.
So for me, basically new area, new companion, new feelings
(a bit depressing haha) but doing good. just adjusting to a new area and
still waiting for the visa....
Love you guys!Elder Ball
PS: sent lots of pics!
