Week of May 30th

It was transfers this tuesday so it was a pretty busy week. One of the elders in our zone finished his mission, Elder Reyes, so he left on Monday. He was a Filipino, a way cool guy and funny too. On Tuesday one of the elders who lived with us in the apt in Alaminos got transferred, Elder Muliaiana, a Samoan from Australia. He is totally awesome and it was way cool livin with him. It's real too bad he got transferred, but he has been in his area, Hundred Islands, for 6 months now.
Also on Tuesday, after Muliaina left, we packed all our stuff, me and my comp's stuff and furniture, on a jeepney to move to our new house in Bani. We packed the bed stuff, some bamboo chairs and the fridge on the outside of the jeepney and a bunch of other stuff inside. And we went to Bani. We got everything in one trip. On the way there we picked up some "hired hands", at a members house. They hopped on the jeepney and helped us unload. We got everything moved in real quick. The 2 other elders, Gerobolingo and Larson, and Pres & Sis. Ashcraft helped us too. Before the "hired hands" guys left we bought them all a merienda, soda and crackers. Then Elder Larson's new comp came, Elder Burueta and they went up to their area in Bolinao. Elder Larson is way cool, he is from San Diego as well.
So for the day, since E. Gerobolingo didn't have a comp, he went with us in Bani. He is way awesome too and a great missionary, and on Thursday morning he went to Olongapo to get his brand new comp from the mtc.
It's been raining pretty good off and on. Thursday was the first day I used my umbrella. It's cool it's not as bright and hot anymore and I am not sweating as much. =) And it's way better having a house in our area.
Our house is pretty good. It's nice with new paint and a kitchen counter. but we have like no water pressure, very little. And we got a ton of ants. We gotta always make sure to not leave food out or any traces of food. But other than that it's good.
Oh and I'm using a bucket of cold water for a shower again cuz there is no water pressure. =)
Our work is doing great. We are finding a lot of new investigators and some in actives are comin back to church. Also Batas Ramos, the drinker, came to church as well as another of our investigators, the Onia family!!! They really liked it. It was fast and testimony meeting and both me and my comp bore our testimonies. It went pretty good.
My Tagalog is getting better. I am starting to understand more, like the regular conversation small talk stuff. So I am doing great! Lovin the work and what's goin on.
