Living in a Mountain Dew bottle





Yeah the Hundred Islands are pretty sweet! and yeah we can't go on water at all. There doesn't seem to be a lot of annoying rules. It actually is pretty lax. Just it is a bummer I can't use skype to call you for Mother's day and Christmas. Yeah we have ice cream here. It is so good. It was a treat with Elder Gillett and us. They have weird flavors over here though. :) Ube, Queso, mango, and chocolate and vanilla too.
It's goin great!!! On Wednesday we ate at this restaurant for lunch. It was so tight. It was like a huge Kubo, or bamboo hut. It was good food. Calimares, bulalo, and a mango shake. The bulalo was roast beef in sinagong (soup). Then on Saturday we had a branch service project. We took down all the posters for the election around the bayan (town center). We had a lot of members show up, it was good.
This Sunday we were so busy we didn't have time to work in our own area. We went to our branch for church. I spoke in sacrament and we had one of our investigator families come to church. Totally sweet!! Then we had to travel up to Bolinao cuz my comp Elder Westwood is the district leader so he had to do 3 baptismal interviews up there. Then we had an Alaminos district meeting with all the Alaminos district missionaries and branch presidents. It was good meeting for our branch mission plans. This is the only place that has it in the Olongapo mission. Then we went with the sister missionaries in Alaminos, Sis. Suniega and Sis. Anderson (from my district in the mtc). We visited and I2Led people and we gave a blessing to one of their investigators. He had some crazy skin infection on his arms and his stomach.
They are still workin on our house in Bani. We went there a couple times. The paint inside is bright green. It is like we live in a mountain dew bottle. =) sige. mahal ko kayong lahat! Elder Pennock.

  1. Thank You for the letter Zak, yes it looks beautiful there. Not really missing much here, just painting while Papa is running the Sports Center. We did get together at the "Old Spagetti Factory" for Mothers day. So glad you haven't got sick and doing so well. I'll write a letter and go into more detail. We Love You!
