There he is in all his glory.
So much happened this week yet I don't want to go into detail with it. This week was transfer week which was one of the craziest weeks I have ever experienced.
Monday: We went to the area office by riding the MRT (The Filipino Trax). We picked up the rental car we would be using and on the way back we found giant billboards of Cole Sprouse. The Robles Family, one of the families in our ward, treated us out to Shakey's Pizza!
Tuesday: We spent the day with the departing missionaries, weighing their luggages and taking them to the hotel that they would be staying at for the night. It was pretty fun because we were with Elder McCauley and Fiesta, the assistants, and it was like an all day adventure. We picked up the departing missionaries from the mission home and drove them to the Mall of Asia to their hotel. Of course we ran into another problem and there was a miscommunication between the church and the hotel so we had NO rooms for the departing missionaries. Turns out the Quezon City North mission had the same thing happen to them so we all just sat in the hotel lobby for like 2 and a half hours. It felt like it was so late but it was like 11:00 which is about the time I would be leaving the house to go hang out with friends before my mission hahaha. So we just sat there waiting for some miracle... and it came! The hotel supervisor comes down and says he "cancelled reservations" (Whatever that means) and they now had 14 available rooms!! Such a tender mercy. One of the Elders forgot his stuff at the office so we had to drive back to the office and then back to the hotel again. We got home at 1:30am.
Wednesday: We got up at 4am to head to the MTC and pick up the new missionaries. They were chill and polynesian and stuff. The Americans went through some problems with their fingerprinting so they were unable to come with us in the morning and we had to hold two in-field orientation meetings. We drove back and forth from the mission home to the mission office all day and that's all I want to say about that.
Those two days were probably the most stressful and the rest of the week was just fun. Other cool things we did this week:
- We watched "How to Train your Dragon 2" for my first time at the mission home on P-Day
- The Filipino greeter from Walmart on 13400 S. walked into the mission office one day and I just about lost it. What are the odds.
- My Aunt hooked it up with another package at the office
Yeah this week was sick. i'm loving it here.
These are the two assistants, the one on the left of me is Elder Zesiger and he went home. He was the missionary who picked me up from the MTC and i'm the one who took him to the hotel to go home hahaha.
This is Elder Lopez and he was one of my favorite missionaries in the mission. He also went home. By the way these pictures were taken in the hotel lobby while we were waiting there for hours.
ELDER FAWSON. He sits at 6'9" and he was a super humble and hard working Elder. He will be missed.
Love you all have a good week long live Cole Sprouse
