Today was the laziest preparation day I”ve had yet. We do our shopping and email on Tuesday so there’s really not much to do on Wednesdays. I got some good studies in and read a lot of ensign articles. I also got to do a little bit of clean up at the apartment. It’s actually really clean and there’s not much to do other than upkeep. I swept the floor and did a little bit of organization in our study room. I also had time to sit down and write a good letter to A. I’ve missed the last couple of weeks because of transfers and zone activities and other such things. We also had the great opportunity to eat a whole loaf of banana bread today. It was good.
Today for work we went out an hour early, at four-o-clock, because of the time we used doing email yesterday. We went to the municipal to get a map because we are looking for land to build a chapel. They didn’t have one! Insanity. We also had a plan to watch “Mountain of the Lord” with Pulidos today but once we started setting up the power went off, like always. I guess it was better anyway because Bro was still out gappas-ing and it’s mostly for him to help him get excited about going to the temple. We had to walk back to Calintaan from Dagupan again today! I think that this is the fourth or fifth time that we’ve had to walk it in the one week that I’ve been here. It was okay though because we had a good half-moon and it was actually quite bright.
This is a map of the route we’d walk from Dagupan to Calintaan. I got very familiar with this road!
I love reading about your mission from your journals. It gives a new look at what you experienced.
