Hey everyone.
So this week was another pretty slow week. We spent most of it trying to finish the clean up for our area. So this just meant a ton of service projects. It ended up making it super tough to have any teaching, especially with our 6 p.m. curfew still. We have an early curfew right now because of the power outage. We are still without power and running water, and probably could be for another week or so. We just barely saw the first electrical workers in our area this morning, so at least that is a good sign. Hopefully they can get it up and running soon.
We also have transfers this week, but we found out we will both be staying in the area for another 6 weeks. I'm kinda sad, but also happy. It's a super tough area, but I feel like we are beginning to see some good progress among the members and we were able to serve a ton of them over the past couple weeks. One of the old couples kept telling us that they will never forget us, because we have been so good to them. All of their children are gone, so they didn't really have anyone to help them after the typhoon, so we were there a ton to help them out. They are some of my favorite members in the area.
Hopefully I'll have more to report on next week! Love you all!
