I have my first native companion!

Well, yeah. Sounds like you all had a really busy week, same here. We did a lot to get ready for the split of the area and getting the apartment ready for four missionaries. So we didnt get to do much real missionary work, but we worked hard the same. We cleaned the house like nuts. We moved everything out of rooms and mopped. Cleaned the CR (bathroom) as clean as it will get. Now it's pretty much all dirty again. The new guys don't know the standards of the Cadiz apartment. We'll take care of that later.

So, Friday afternoon the new missionaries arrived here in Cadiz. My comp is Elder Ventigan. He is from one of the northern provinces that I cant spell. I have my first native companion! Man this keyboard stinks! And Yahoo messenger keeps popping up. Sabad 'na! (That's annoying). So the other two are Elder Searle, just came from the MTC, and his trainer Elder Martonito (I think i spelled that right...). He goes home at the end of this transfer. He is filipino too. Elder Searle is from Cedar Hills, UT. Went to Lone Peak HS.

Elder LeCheminant was transferred to Barangay Banago. That is where he wanted to go and that is where the zone leaders for this zone are. So I will still get to see him every Tuesday. The sad news though is that while I am still in the Philippines Bacolod Mission as of July 1 Elder White will be in the Philippines Iloilo mission. Yup, he was sent over there... That means he will actually get home three weeks after me. Iloilo is changing to the other transfer schedule.

That's really all for now. We'll see how this next week goes. Hopefully the three new ones dont drive me nuts. I'll set down some house rules.
