Hey
Fam. This week has been all right. There's a Baguio right now, sow it's
been pretty rainy all week. But today the sun is out and it's as hot as
always. The work this week has gone ok. We've been going out to some
really far places this week to try and find some of the members on our
CMIS list. We've done LOTS of walking. I'd say on average 7-10 miles a
day. It actually feels like hiking for the most part since we're up in
the mountains/jungle. I'm not really sure how some of these people were
found and taught by missionaries/went to church long enough to be
baptized. We have had some success with it though. This one old man that
lives way out in the boonies came to church yesterday for the first
time in probably like 10 years. Maybe longer. Attendance was low
yesterday cause of the rain. Filipinos are scared of rain, and don't
leave their houses if it's raining. One of those culture things that
needs to change. We've just continued to do a lot of work with our less
actives. Things are going well. I can't believe I only have 1 month
left. It just doesn't seem real to me. Well still no requests of what
you people want, so I'll probably bring you all some back scratchers.
Well my classes don't seem like they're going to be too hard.. I'm only
worried about the science foundations one. And a little bit about the
first aid one. But mostly the science foundations one. I have not heard
good things about the teacher. Things like,
"Key
in on this! DO NOT take this class from Bro wall. He does not prepare
you for the tests at all, he talks about things that don't even pertain
to science, and he teaches solely from power points which is not
helpful. Avoid him at all costs." "Bro. Wall is a nice guy but his
teaching is not very helpful! I feel like he doesn't know the material
himself and the questions on the test don't have anything to do with
what he teaches or what is in the book. I would not recommend him for
science foundations." "He's one of those power point teachers. He's a
nice guy and means well, but he just reads off the power point and
doesn't explain things. I found his teaching method frustrating." So I
don't know how I feel about that one. I might be able to survive it
haha. Also where am I going to get a guitar? It's funny, I was just
thinking last week, "If Mom still has those dining room chairs that
squeak and creak every time you move when I get back, I'm going to kill
myself." Haha cause my chair at my study desk is the exact same way and
it drives me CRAZY! I cannot concentrate at all. Also if we still have
the same internet I might kill myself as well. So hopefully Larj gets
those things all fixed up. Well President Tobias goes home in a couple
weeks, so we're gonna be having all these trainings and conferences and
things. Busy last month! Also, I still didn't get your package... So it
might be in neverland by now. Was there anything valuable in it? But my
companion told me his package took 4 months to get to him once. The only
problem is I don't have 4 months left. Oh well. Ok well thanks for
getting all my stuff ready for school and everything else. It's kinda
fun trusting your life and decisions into somebody else's hands haha. Ok
well I better get going. Love you all! Love Elder Andersen
