A New Apartment

Hey all!

Sorry about the late email. We were way rushed yesterday and had to push it to Tuesday.

This last week has been really interesting. Lots of exciting things happened. We moved appartments on Saturday and that took most of the day, so we had to run around to our appointments and tell them we weren’t going to be able to make it and reschedule. The moving went really well. The new apartment is much bigger and has a balcony! It’s really dirty though… I guess they didn’t bother to clean it to make it more presentable to possible renters… It also has some interesting marks on the walls; crosses of dugo sang manok (chicken blood). It’s a traditional blessing on the home that the previous renters had done, we are working on cleaning them off. It’s quieter at night and in the morning. At the old one we had the bowling ally in the evening and the small manokan (rooster farm) in the mornings. The roosters just go and go starting around 3:30 -4 am.

Sounds like you all had a good week too. Lots going on back home. Our investigators are doing well. We have a baptism this Saturday, Christine Romero. She’s gonna be the first of her family, but the rest will follow shortly. We are gonna have some major improvements with investigators in the next few weeks, most of them should be coming to church by then. It’ll be awesome.

On Friday last week we did exchanges with the Elders in Manapla. Elder Reynolds came up here and we went around to our appointments. Elder Claven went down there. It was an interesting experience and I learned a lot. Sorry, it’s a short email this week. So, until next week! Hope you all have a good week!
