Back to the "Mainland" (January 1, 2017)

So, there's not much to say.

I'm back in the city!

I'm actually relieved to some extent. I feel a lot more at home in the city, actually, like I know what I'm doing. In the province, it's a whole different place. It's beautiful, and would be lovely for vacation...but I'm not here for vacation. I'm here to work!

I'm feeling a little blue today, not sure why. So my email might be slightly lacking.

My companion is Elder Ulat. He just got out of training, so I am following him up. He's older than me, I think he said he is 24. He is a Filipino. He's been through a lot in his life, but he is the nicest person. It blows me away. He is also very clean, which is super cool.

He is a little sad because this is the first time he's had a new companion. What's more, you get close to your trainer, and now his trainer is very far away. We, strangely enough, swapped places. His trainer went to Taytay, and I came here.
Makati is somewhat nicer than much of my area in Pasay, if you remember those days, but a little more confusing, because there aren't very many landmarks (that I've noticed) and many of the streets look exactly the same. That being said, there are still those who live in poverty.

This actually, a long time ago, was the AP's area. The members still haven't forgotten Elder Wilson, who was AP right around the time I entered the mission. 

It looks like there are people here prepared for baptism. I certainly hope we can help them to come unto Christ. 

There we are. I have complete access to McDonald’s again. I think I'll celebrate today. Hehehe...

From,
Elder Streeter
