The bike was sadly in the shop in Tacloban all week so we were walking all day. We stayed pretty close to the main roads because they have the public transportation like trikes and what not and we weren't able to get out to Anibong until Sunday. We basically did finding all day everyday which was pretty exhausting but now that I look back on it, it was a really good week and I learned a lot.
One bonus of working near the main roads was that not very many missionaries have really done work there so we got to talk to lots of people who had never heard about the gospel before. We taught so many lesson 1's it was crazy. One family we found was the Cobacha Family they were a referral from another family we talked to. They were super awesome and asked good questions and stuff. We got a return appointment and when we came back they fed us a big meal which was super awesome. They live far from the church they could use some prayers for the faith to sacrifice and go to church. That would be greatly appreciated.
It's crazy that I hit the 6 month mark last week. Wow it goes by fast in the field. I didn't burn any ties but we did have a little celebration in our apartment with our kabalay because another elder hit his year mark too so we ate a little feast and had some ice cream so that was pretty fun.
Thats about it for this week. I got the package with the sweater from amazon haven't got any of the others yet but I will let you know
Love you tons,
Elder Holmstead
