We got to video chat with Elder Holmstead again this week. Here are some highlights:
- He was transferred to the Borongan Zone. He really likes his new companion, Elder Buan, and his new area. After 7 months he said he was ready for a change.
- They speak Waray-Waray in Borongan so it's taken some time for him to get used to speaking that language again. He is starting to feel more comfortable with it. He is still pretty lost in his area but he's starting to figure out where things are at.
- He asked us to pray for his investigators:
- Ricky and Gemmalyn
- May Ann Capones
- Francis Capones
- Lyra, Pauline, Angel
- Dominic is still progressing also so he asked us to keep him in our prayers.
- He and Elder Buan travelled up to the Dolores Branch which is at the top of their zone. He said he doesn't look very far on a map but it's a 3 hour drive. They rode in Jeepney's. He said they are full of people and roads are very bumpy so it's a rough ride.
- He and his companion haven't had time to shop at all since he was transferred so they were planning to hit a grocery store on p-day.
- He said there are 150 members in his branch.
- He had a great birthday and appreciated everyone who sent him an email. He said the Filipino's try to guess his age and most of them think he is 30 or 40 years old.
- He found a store that has some sweet NBA jersey's so he's planning to pick up a few.
- He said the temperature there all week is supposed to be 80 degrees!
