Paste Lan Eric! Choy legi ka kaayo! It
means you’re a handsome devil! Nice work becoming the king by popular vote!
Amalakaya tried to do that and ended up with the Nephite army chasing him. You
were much more successful, and much better looking!
This Friday I am transferring to Sibonga/ Argao branches. I was assigned in CarCar, the next area over, before so I have been to both of them. Now there are only two missionaries for both branches. One of the branches has only been open for a year and neither of them have a church building, just rented houses. It is a HUGE area, the last one on the south end of Cebu on the East coast. This is my 7th area, once again on Cebu. My companion is Elder Ibay from northern Philippines, I think. I met him once. I will be follow-up training him. It is his 3rd transfer. It is a beautiful area out in the middle of nowhere with clean water and nice beaches. Thant will be nice. The city is so dirty.
This next Friday Elder Nelson is coming to speak to us! We are super excited about that! That is two apostles in one year!
If you moved what is your apartment like?
I have been to the apartment before, it is great! They have a huge kitchen and the house had couches in it when they moved in. Usually we just get plastic chairs.
When did you meet with President Schmutz last? What kinds of things has he been teaching you lately?
We had zone interviews last week. He taught us about the true reason why people sin and go inactive. We are to apply it to our less actives and try to build them back up so they are active again, and then apply it in our lives so that we never go inactive. It was a great talk.
Are you taking lots of pictures?
YES!
Have you been feeling healthy and taking good care of yourself?
For the most part yes. No major problems. I just got a chest xray last week so that the mission knows that the outgoing missionaries don't have tuberculosis. I don't.
What kinds of things can we pray about for you?
You can pray for me to have the spirit to be with me to guide me to those sincerely seeking the truth and be converted or reactivated, and also that I will be guided to know what to teach them. Pray also for the Sibonga and Argao branches to strengthen.
Sure love you all. Take care,
Elder Schenk
