Week 31

First of all I wanna say I love it here on the island, everything is soooooooooooo beautiful and laid back! this place is so quiet and the people are so nice and I love teaching lessons! I just love this area I am the district leader here! Being DL means I mainly keep the district motivated to work and report numbers and go on splits. I'ts cool. also just saw the basement so much different holy crap. and thank you for a;; the prayers, I'm praying for you all too, I love my district so far they are all really cool.

Monday. We had another lazy pday in Ibaan and played some pool where I wrecked my companion.

Tuesday. spend my last day doing....you guessed it! knocking doors! woo! 

Wednesday. had our last district meeting, it was fun I got to say goodbye to all these people I love so much. Then I worked with elder shumway, who is new and I felt like I helped him a lot coping with the mission and stuff he was having trouble talking to his trainer cause he was a Filipino. Then I cooked for them and we ate this huge feast with a fellow shipper outside talking it was the most fun I've had in months. 

Thursday. was transfer day, very long day I ended up waiting for these other two elders at a jolibees (a fast food place) for 7 hours and they never showed! but we got a call that they skipped me and left straight for the island. so I ended up sleeping at the zone leaders house which destroyed my back. 

Friday. first thing I did was get on the ferry and go straight to the island. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS PLACE! like no joke this is the best place ever. I don't have  pictures yet because Ive been busy but I just love it here so much. On the ferry ride I saw some flying fish they were soooooooooooooooo cool the ride is about 3 hours long





Saturday. Lots of hard work we went and just taught a lot of lessons I miss teaching lessons man its been waaaaaaaaaaaay too long. 

Sunday church was crazy because I gave a suprise talk (thanks dad for the backup talk idea) and I had to bless the sacrament in Tagalog for the first time, but I managed to do good in both of them so I'm happy. We were supposed to have a broadcast from the area 70 and we invited the other elders in our district but they couldn't connect so it got cancelled. so they just chilled at our house because all travel on the island stops at 7. hhaha its really been fun here!
I found a computer shop but there is nothing else here.....not even a 7/11



My new companion is  really cool we get along well. downsides his music taste is AWFUL he been here since February. and he's from Mindanao, which is the lower part of the Philippines, foreigners arent even allowed to go there. Lots of muslims and violence there. look up the history on Google.
My new apartment is freaking awesome! I'll send pics next week. We just have a stove top. and we cant get the gas to work yet... we are gonna try and work on it all today to get it fixed hahaha

this week will be dope! I'm so excited I love it here. like I would have you all come visit me and we all just hang here for a week

tell isabelle to name her drain pouch. the sac of cleanliness. or draw a face on it
I finally heard from Elder Mumm, my trainer!  sounds like he is doing great, I told him to go visit you.

We mainly eat carrots and mangos, for breakfast we have burgers with mango......and whatever a member feeds us normally gulam. which is a mix or veggies and meat

I love getting the pictures from home they dont make me homesick, they made me happy.

Love you all
Elder Yarro
