Well to start off I'll just say this week’s email will be a little short. Not much has happened actually this whole week, so maybe I'll just describe my transfer experience. So we usually get a text from our zone leaders around 8 o'clock on a Saturday night so we were just chilling at a member’s house for her B-day and we got the text, we both read it and then both sighed of relief, none of us will transfer yay! Elder Baker is coming to my district, sick! But wait? He's a district leader too, you can't have 2 DL's, so in my head I said okay, maybe one of us will step down, but I'm chill with that!  But then after we read that, the ZL called and said, "Elder Merrill, we have some bad news for you"... so in my head I was like crap I stepped down, no biggy! They go on to say "you're no longer the DL of Ligao, you’re the DL of Pio Duran District" Okay, okay that's cool. Then they said, "There's only 2 elders there" ...... Well... So I got moved with Tula Tula and Pio Duran has a different DL. Shoot. So basically I got moved to be a DL in a whole other area. My district was soooo tight with each other. We were planning district t-shirts, the whole 9 yards. Buuut nope, oh well it's all good. We're still coming to Ligao every week for p-day anyway. Elder Baker's a stud:) So other than that, I'm doing good here in Tula Tula! Still have no running water and it's been raining for the past 4 days so our river is sooo dirty, even the clean water part is dirty. But we have no other way to bathe so were still using the less dirty water but we can't wash cloths so we don't really know what to do for this situation ha-ha. We'll just wear our dirty cloths again;) it’s all good. Hopefully the river will clean up soon. Oh!! One good perk of the river and rain is when it rains the really big lizards come out and then our house next to us (Garcia's) kill them, then we eat them:) It's free and fresh:) And this transfer we are going to try to eat good, not just bread and chips everyday ha-ha. Well that's it for me!! Love ya all!

This is one of our investigators house. Every time we stop by he's usually not home but the pamphlet we gave him is always on a different page.

Elder Witehira is 6' 2". Ha-ha I'm not the tallest kid in the block anymore.

 

We cleaned our bathroom:)
