Antipolo Zone- Philippines: Week 2- Yooo

 Yurrrrr we are back with another email.


Word of the week: magtiis (endure)- Long week but a good one, just super busy

ESPN TOP 10 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK:

10. My companion bought a coffee frappe😭 he didn't even realize it because he didn't know what a java chip is. He just ordered it and it's lowkey expensive and yeah it's coffee.☕️

9. I gave a talk in sacrament meeting legit the week after I gave my introduction testimony. So everyone's probably bored of me up there😅

8. Had 2 exchanges this week which is a lot. I led the area for the first time and can't lie I got lost a couple times🗺 but we got it done eventually. I've been here legit for like 7 days so it's chill. I'll get it down

7. Idk if I should buzz again or grow my hair out.💈 That's the current problem I'm facing, I haven't gotten a haircut in legit like 2 weeks. So please lmk👨‍🦲

6. On PDay my comp and I went to the dentist for him to get his teeth looked at, they've been hurting for a while now🦷. It was like 300$ USD, so our mission president pulled up to pay the 19,000₽ bill😭but at least his teeth are chill

5. We had a service project! Like my 3rd ever on my mission😭 everyone's too shy to accept service here. But we helped clean up this guy's yard. I think I killed probably half the plants he said not to...🪴 so that's myb, but I tried.

4. This Sunday we had 18 friends @ sacrament😱 It was crazy

3. Had UNLI STEAK!! yeah i didn't even know that was a thing. Beef is so rare here, let alone steak🥩. But yeah for our 1 year, me and some dudes from my batch went to an unli steakhouse. It was like 20$ USD but worth it. They had wagyu cubes, T-bone, etc. I ate 5 steaks...🐕

2. Eula & Ahkiro got baptized🌊🌊 They are a part-member family, their brother was just baptized 3 weeks ago and now they are. There's one more kid in the family that we're working on, he's just really shy. But you'll see him in white for September 🤞

1. BOOM! Hit one year on the mission officially last Aug 12🥳. I have less than a year left which is crazy, idk if I'd say it flew by but time is weird on a mission. Got to grind out this last year then boom, get to go hit up Hawaii or something 🏝 idk🤣

Sorry kind of unfinished email and I haven't responded to anyone😭 

Still have to prepare a council for zone conference tmrw😭
