| Picture of the week. Thank you Elder Hamblin! Playing Jenga |
HI!!!!! :)
This has been a really crazy week. Elder Schmidt had to
start his duties as district leader early, since he was replacing out last
District leader, Elder Cajumban. Elder Cajumban, who was Elder Hamblin’s last
comp, was just made our 3rd AP. (one AP is going home next week. The other in January)
Elder Hamblin is training now. He’s doing great. They have 3 baptisms coming up
this month! We’re mixing up some ideas about a district wide baptism on the
24th. Possibly 6 people all on Christmas Eve, confirmed on Christmas. It has the
opportunity to be really cool. We just have to work it all out.
Thank you so much for the recipes! :) I’ve been a busy
cooker this week. I made my pirogues last night and we are having them for
dinner tonight! :) I also made small patties from the remaining mashed potato
mixture and I coated them in a batter I made and fried them up. It was a lot
like a homemade tater tot. We all loved it! I’m surprising everyone here with
what I can do. Heck, I’m surprising myself! And it’s all thanks to you! :) I
also discovered a new food. It is called Loaded. It is loaded with a ton of
yummy goodness that I am sure is not healthy, but it is the best thing I have
eaten here so I don't care.
Today was an exhausting day. We went to Angadanan we had to
cross 3 zones to get there. The AP’s drove us most of the way. It’s amazing how
many elders fit in the flatbed of a small truck.) and played flag football, and
rugby. We’re all sore and tired but nobody got seriously injured. So it was a
good day.
Thank you so freakin much for the music, mom and Diana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:) I had to change what format they were in, but you seriously made everyone
here super jealous until I said I would share. :) We really enjoy it.
"Pre-Christmas" in ilagan is a joke. They just
start Christmas early. There is no "pre" it was going full tilt the
week I got to the Philippines! :) lol
Our less actives are responding well. We are really close to
getting the father the priesthood. He has a strong desire. It was just like he
was waiting to be invited to change. You can tell he wants this for his family.
We taught a lesson about the temple, and it’s their family goal to get there
and be sealed. He’s actually given us a few free tricey rides when he was out
and found us. He looks for us now. Over all, the work here is really hard. There
are really good people here. The work is just finding them, and not getting
discouraged when we can't seem to find anyone with a desire to change.
Today is the start of my second cycle as a missionary.
I gotta go teach a couple lessons now. I wish I had a little
more time today. :/ oh well.
I love you all very much and you are in my thoughts and
prayers.
Tell everyone thank you for the emails. And that I always
have time to read them. And I appreciate them sooooooooo very much. I love you
all.
Until next week,
With all my love-- Elder Lundy
