So not too much happened but it was a good week. We didn't have anything to crazy happen for holy week except for we got to watch a huge firework show from our back porch I will try to send a video. And they had a huge parade through the town that we didn't get to see but we could hear it. Easter here was basically a big excuse for tons of people to just party.
Sadly Brother Orlando didn't come to church because his family got offended by the bishop. That is a really common problem in this ward because the bishop has been the bishop for 7 years and everyone thinks that he stole all the relief from Typhoon Yolanda so it's a challenge. And we haven't been able to contact Hillboy because all the people who are Catholic in town flocked to the huge catholic church.
It was super crazy on Friday because everything closed. Seriously we were like the only people on the streets the entire day so weren't able to talk to anyone.
But the beat goes on I heard about the new apostles on Sunday which was super cool because Elder Soares visited my mission for my first zone conference and I got to shake his hand so that was really cool. It is crazy the home teaching is no longer a thing. That helps bring our ward here because it was a major struggle. And Awesome that the PHilippines is getting a new temple!
Answering the Question (What do you do on P-day?): P-Day in Calubian goes just like this
we wake up then we head to a calendaria and buy some pancit, it's super good then we do our weekly laba. After that we head to a little computer internet cafe thing for our emails. After that we kinda clean the apartment and kinda chill. It's kinda nice to just rest because we are pretty worn out by the end of the week. Then at 5:30 we head out and work until 8:30. Pretty chill day I love it.
Also transfers are on wednesday and I think Elder Martin will transfer so I'll let you know what happens.
Love you tons
