MagTrainer

Whats good in the neighbourhood my Virginians. This week has been not what I expected. Dun dun dunnn. Welp. Elder Fruean transferred, and he left me here to train. Or so I thought until I arrived in my 2nd homeland, Tacloban City. And the second I got off the van President talked to me and told me my comp was delayed.. bru. I didn't think my transfer board pic was that scary. But it's all good. To make it even better actually later AP Hillman told me that he was "indefinitely delayed" at this point. I was pretty depressed. Pres also told me I had to go back to Sogod and be in a trio. So I did the only thing a good missionary would do to face my sadness. Gobble down McDonald's, KFC, and Spinners ice cream. Ig I cant say I felt better afterwards cuz I was medyo broke. But it was ok because the Ah Wongs paid for my ride home; and not because I was broke, they paid for everyone:)

But yeah, now I'm here in Sogod in a companionship with the ZL and another Elder. My assignment on paper is kinda hilarious tho. It's just me, super depressing. To make me feel worse they still have it say I'm a trainer... all alone.. shipped back in a metal box to a place called Sogod that became not so good. Yuuup that's me!

Anyways I'm learning more language like how to flirt in Tagalag. This past week we've had an effective companionship. We got to teach Champagne again and she said she's felt closer to God after us teaching her. And she came to church and luckily she had some really good friend here already. I asked her about how it went after we walked her home and she said it was a 10 out of 10 experience. Then I was like lagi Ate! Lami kaayo ang simba pirme! So ya that was basically awesome.

On Saturday we went to someone's birthday and discovered that zombie dogs exist. Don't know who invented them but it was kinda scary. And went to a Valentine's Day party. The beginning was sad cuz barely anyone showed up. But more members came in half way thru. They had all the couples go up and do hilarious stuff, it was good.

It's definitely quieter here now too. And kinda feel bad for Elder Phillips cuz he keeps switching for English to Tagalag, cuz I speak lots of ingles and Elder Dacanay speaks Tagalag. But I'm trying to speak more Cebuano so they both will understand. But ya I'm basically a hero like that sometimes.

Chillen on a mattress right now guys at 9:11 PM, typin up my thang. Kinda bored... sorry for the boring emails btw. I won't mind if you guys dont read them. I wouldn't if I was a receiving these, but mostly because I wouldn't know if you read them or not haha.

I also saw this picture on my email today from a friend in the MTC and showed it to my ZL. There were 5 or 6 white girls in one photo, and when I saw it I was like whoa, they're all white. But ya that's what happens in the Phills. Alrighty obviously getting kinda tired. Imma hit the hay. Luv luvs.
