2017-7-31 Flood Season Round
2
Kamusta! Hello!
What a great week!
It's been exhausting but so worth-while. I feel like hours don't slip by me,
I'm wringing out the usefulness of life. That's a good feeling. I'm transferred
and I feel settled in already! Maybe because I've been here before... It's been
a year, but I recognize all the malls and roads and even some of the people
here! I could walk to my first area, it's so close. The best part about being
here again in July is it's flood season! Timing was perfect, the day I got here
a storm hit so we had a 3-day rain. Pretty short actually, sometimes this
season it will rain for over a week straight. Our house is nice and raised up
and has no problems, but it's not the same for some of the people, I feel
terrible for them. They were typically their happy selves though! I'm so
excited to be back here in the city, the people are pretty desensitized, and
there's so many of them, but I know there are also many that are waiting for
the restored gospel.
Here's me and my new comp,
Elder Y-. He's so great, we get along really well and we have no problem
finding people to teach! I had some sort of reaction my first day in the area,
so I look like a monkey. Well I always look like a monkey, so I looked more like
a monkey.
Here's a missionary family,
that get close with pretty much every missionary that goes through the area. I
was seriously privileged to be assigned in Pangarap ward for 6 months.
The weird thing with being
with an American companion is I've immediately grown to miss the quirks of all
my Filipino comps, and I have more desire now than ever before to become
seriously fluent, indiscernible from Filipinos in my accent and mannerisms. I'm
so blessed to be here, I feel time going at it's usually uncaring rate, and I
want to make the most of it! Thanks for reading, I love you all!
Love, Elder Fish
