So this week was crazy! Elder Alfeche goes home this next transfer but he's awesome! He wants to work and told me to help stay focused so I'm super pumped about that! Our work this last week was pretty good! We also had 2 baptisms yesterday! One was for Christine, our deaf investigator! We also learned a ton of sign language this week so teaching her was much easier. We're going to suggest to bishop that we have a sign language class at church on Saturday's so that members can learn so that they can interact with Christine as well! The baptism was so awesome!
Saturday though however was our vacation! We got to go to..... Manila! It was sweet! We need to get fingerprinted before we can leave the country so they took 21 of us foreigners up to the Area Office in Manila. We left Bacolod on an 830am flight and got to Manila around 930 and then our flight back to Bacolod from Manila left at around 530pm. Manila is so much more civilized than Bacolod! haha The temple was unfortunately closed for cleaning, but we got to see it across the street and take pictures! It was also really cool to see missionaries that we were in the MTC with who are serving in other missions while we were at the Area Office! After fingerprinting we went to a US War Memorial in Manila. It was really cool and peaceful. It was were President Hinckley dedicated the Philippines for the preaching of the gospel. It was super awesome! I also got to hang out with Elder Pack, Carver, and Minson for the last time. We'll never all be in one place again while serving our mission! Kinda weird to think about!
The work goes forward. I love you all! Have a wonderful week! :)
