We are here in Cebu again today. This is the second of three weeks in a row. Our next p-day is on Thursday, not Wednesday so that all of the missionaries in the entire mission can come to hear Elder Holland, Elder Calister, and Elder Teh speak. I am way excited for that. This will be the first time in the history of the mission that the entire mission will have gathered.
You can boil bananas with or without the skin. If without the skin they put in sugar and make it a soup. if with the skin it just makes it soft and more sweet. Sometimes they boil the unripe ones so you can eat it, but it just tastes like a boiled potato...like starch. They eat just about every fruit here before it is ripe. They like the bitter.
Being district leader is good. I am learning a lot. It has put more stress on me as I am now learning all of my responsibilities, but I am grateful for the challenge.
Earlier Elder Baley, the office couple, told me that he "had a ball last night" looking at my blog. He had been searching on the internet for information on Bogo where he is going to be moving in two weeks to be a regular senior couple missionary, and my blog came up on the search. He said he really enjoyed reading it and that it is one of the better ones he has seen for missionaries. Nice work mom. I got a dvd made up with all of my pictures on it. I just need to drop it off in the mail.
I haven't gotten your letters yet, hopefully soon.
I thought about my plans after the mission and I want to go back to school in the fall. Try to see if you can get my track changed to fall winter. Right now it is the winter spring track. It would be awesome if I could go with Carson.
I’ll try to get a picture of my shoes. They are a little harder to find now. I got them resoled, but now they are a little small. So I gave them to another elder. He gave them to the ward missionary in another area. But I can probably get it in the next few weeks. I don’t want to send a sd card home because I have heard that too many don’t make it to the states.
Well I am out of time, I wrote a long letter to the president about my district and then there was an error, so I need to shoot him an email quick.
Love you,
Elder Schenk
