Bamboo Buildings Abound (November 28, 2016)

Bamboo Buildings Abound


November 28, 2016

Nothing really happened so far...

I'm not sure when I will email you again. There is a mission tour on Monday next week, so I will be in Puerto all day. We will see when the next week email gets to you. It may not happen until Wednesday, depending on the circumstances...
Or it may not be at all, but I doubt that outcome.

Mostly, I'm just doing missionary work in Taytay. It's a beautiful place. We've got mountains, the sea, a bay, beaches, rice fields, forests, and so on. Quite the combination of natural scenery. Yes, I have some pictures, no, I have no way to upload them.

I also have not received any packages or letters. Probably will at the Christmas party, though.

Most every house, bridge, and structure we teach in is made of bamboo and wood. Very few are finished cement houses.

There is an old Spanish fort here. We've gone a couple of times.

There is also a sign, like the Hollywood sign, that says Taytay. We hiked up to it today. The path is super overgrown, but the view is great.

We've had an opportunity to do some chess in the Bahay. I've gotten better at it. But I'm still pretty bad. Hehehe.

And that is it...

Sorry, not much to say. Next week, depending on when I email, I'll have more to say. There is a Christmas party here.

From,

Elder Streeter
