It all started when I got to the new apartment in Lagro, as you know, I am white, and here in the Philippines when they see white people they think rich. So the first night in Lagro me and Elder Talamai went to bed, while we were sleeping someone broke into our house and took our wallets, cameras, watches, our phone, and our dvd player. lucky for the robber, we slept through the whole thing haha. No, but my watch was right next to my head so the robber must have been like 6 inches away from me at one point. Crazy. When we woke up to a missing window and a hole in the door we realized that we had been robbed. I feel bad for Elder Talamai because he goes home in January and all his memories and photos from his whole mission are gone. Anyway we used someones phone to call the mission president and he told us that maybe the Lord kept us asleep, looking back on it it was probably a very good thing that we were asleep because he probably had a knife or gun and so it strengthened my testimony that the Lord protects his missionaries. He got everything sorted out and we were moved to La Mesa Ward in San Jose Del Monte. The house is really nice and the area is all subdivision which is good for safety but bad for finding (subdivision folk dont really like hearing about the gospel). The ward here is aweesome! they are all really nice and willing to work, the area is really different from the city, i can actually see a little bit of mountains! The people here are nice and I am thankful that it all worked out. One of our fans doesnt have a cover on it and I cut my finger open on it, and the next day Talamai cut his elbow on it haha. It might go down as the worst week of the mission haha. Oh ya and just a few minutes ago I found out I am getting transferred again....to Malolos. well, so far this mission has been nothing short of an adventure, I am curious to see what the Lord needs me to learn and what I need to do. My new companion will be Elder Basa, he is filipino and I hear he is really a good guy. Hopefully I can stay there for a while! haha well three months in the field and already 4 areas, and three companions hahaha. The lord must have a great sense of humor. Oh well, I love you all!!! I hope you all have a great week! thanks for the emails! Be SAFE!
