Saturated in Livestock (November 21, 2016)

Saturated in Livestock

I have a new companion! I didn't even expect it, but transfers brought surprises. 

First of all:
I have not received anything. I'm so sorry Mama, I'm not sure what has happened.

In the district, two people transferred. My companion: Elder Enano, and the district leader: Elder Fiesta. Elder Enano is now currently serving in a portion of the mission close to Brookes Point. It's called Cabar, and there are so few people that whereas the mission goal for OYMs is 105 (they lowered it recently) Cabar's goal is 28. 

There is probably twice as much livestock as people....

My companion came up from Brookes Point. He is 6 months in the mission. His name is Elder Marquez. He is an easygoing, obedient missionary, with great English skills from Baguio. He is very smart. He, after his training, trained a missionary, so this is his first experience out of training. 

Taytay, by the way, is not an Island. It is on Palawan, and a long time ago, was the first capital of Palawan. It has a Spanish fort as well. It's a paradise. There are mountains, forests, a bay with beaches, and just enough progress for everything you need, including fast internet.

What else happened? Taytay, and Roxas, the bigger town south of it, became their own zone. There are only two district leaders, and the zone leaders live in Roxas. The funny thing is that both of the zone leaders, myself and Elder Arninio, were trained by Elder McQuarrie. In addition, Elder Arninio's anak, Elder Crowder, is in Roxas, and Elder Crowder's anak, Elder Beltran, is here in Taytay. As far as I know, that makes the majority of Elder McQuarrie's "posterity" all in one zone! Funny. 

The Christmas party is coming up... We'll see how that goes. Travel is always expensive...

That's all I can think of right now. 

From,

Elder Streeter
