Week 48 ~ My Foot's Cooked

My foot really started hurting maybe 3 days ago. It was just a small red dot so I thought maybe it was a bug bite or something fillipino like that. But then over the next 3 days it has grown and gotten infected and worse. I'll spare you the picture but it really hurts to walk or exist. At least today I got some medication to combat the infection. 

Anyway on a happier note: GOOO UTES!!!

I heard we beat UCLA so that made my day despite the hard week.

Our friends:

Our friends here are progressing well. We have some baptisms on Sept 13. The members here have been great in joining us and helping us despite it only being a Branch. We had 42 people attend which is a lot for us, so that made me and my comp's day better. Another thing that happened that was cool is a lot of people are reading the BOM we gave them. I know it's hard to come to church for people here, (Cost, Time and ETC) but it's nice that they are reading and coming closer to Jesus Christ.

Funny thing: Bruh we walked to a door and knocked, and a tatay was super kind and started to let us in when the nanay saw (She wasn't so nice) and said (kilala ko sila mga mormons, Ayo ko sila ) I know them, Mormons, I don't want them! So we didn't get in but we had a good laugh about it.

Picture 1 is me fully vaccinated for Rabies now haha😱😱😱

Have a good week,

Elder Spackman

Week 66 ~ The volcano is erupting... and I live a couple miles away

Image
Sooo to cut to the chase, we saw the Mayon volcano was raised to level 3, which means that it's probably going to erupt. Then we noticed smoke coming off the top, and then a lot more smoke; then when we woke up the next morning the volcano had lava coming out from the top. Luckily, it's just a small eruption right now, with the top of the lava dome slowly flowing down the side. However, if the magna pressure builds, then it will explode like a soda can does when you shake it. So we might have to evacuate. We wouldn't be in immediate danger, however, the ash fall could be dangerous to our health. Our Mission President told us to have seven days worth of clothes ready at all times, so that's been great. Anyways onto the spiritual stuff: Our friend Sister Mardy is progressing, She is a single mom, about age 53, and her kids are members. It was nice because at church I saw her talking to members and being assimilated in. The members here are so kind, talaga. We hope that sh...

Week 43 ~ "If the dog dies in 14 days, you have rabies" - Nurse in Cantanduanes

Image
Well to cut to the chase again, I got bit by a dog in the mountains. It wasn't my fault, he just ran up and was playing and bit me, haha. But I had to wait 5 days to get a rabies shot because there were no available shots. I got 2 injections in my arms and have to get 8 more. The nurse kindly enlightened me that if the dog dies within 14 days I'm cooked and got rabies . Pray for me FR!  But anyway this week was a good week. We had zone conference on a different island (Luzon) so we had to take a boat to get there. The rain was so strong cause there is a small typhoon down here right now and I definitely got a little seasick. Luckily, they were playing Shanghi Noon, a Jackie Chan film so my spirits were lifted. Zone con was good, the main takeaway that I got from it was we need to focus  on helping our friends more, and not giving up on them.  The work this week has been lots of teaching the Restoration of the Gospel, since we were gone all week there really hasn't be...

Week 50 ~ The Field is White and Ready to Harvest

Image
Hello Everyone! How's everyone doing? We are doing well here in San Andres. We had a good long week, at masaya ako na mag share sa inyong gabos (I'm happy to share to you).  Baptism of the Boco family: We had a baptism! It's been awhile in my mission since I've had one, not saying that mission success is based on baptisms cause it's not, and these aren't my baptisms but the Lord's baptism, but let me tell you; it's been refreshing to have some success in this area. Especially since it's been awhile since this area has had any success so it gives the members something to be proud of.   Their conversion:  My companion and I have worked really hard and we've helped revive the success and hype here for missionary work. Of course it's all through the Lord, but it's like I think Alma said that "I boast not of myself, but of the Lord". Because miracles have really been done here. One of these miracles is the BOCO family. When I first g...
