This last week has been nuts and pretty stressful. We got a surprise call on Tuesday from the Moran's (the new office couple) saying that I would need to go to Manila AGAIN on Thursday. So we really only had that full day to visit everyone.
Wednesday we had time to visit one member, who actually knows Kaleb Hurst (you should ask him if he knows Velgie Aguilon from Calamba), and then Sister Ghouri and I spent a blessed 3 hours in the hospital getting her a check-up and an x-ray to make sure she doesn't have TB any more. Plus we had our last district meeting that morning, so it was kind of just a weird day. Dad would be so proud of me though for not getting too irritable at the hospital for lack of food and a lot of stress. If I have learned one thing from being a missionary, it would easily be patience.
Thursday after our weekly planning, the 3 sisters dropped me off again at the corner so I could go meet up with my batch again to go to Manila. Last time we thought we would only have 1 trip to Manila, so we called it YOMO-You Only Manila Once. Well we named this trip YOMT-You Only Manila Twice. This trip also turned out kind of pangit as well because a few of us didn't even have to do anything at the immigration office. The others had to redo some finger prints and the rest of us just had a marvelous time people watching again. But it was good because we did stop by Krispe Kreme again and we found a Wendy's!!! That was very exciting.
YOMT lasted till Friday eveningish so then I met back up with our sisters by our apartment. It was so strange walking home alone before meeting them.
Saturday I GOT TO VISIT CANDELARIA AGAIN!!!!! It was SO good!! We left around 1 from our area after visiting an investigator then traveled there! It was strange to be there again, but all my favorite people remembered me! It was so fun! We had time to visit a lot and the sisters there even had a baptism that night which the Mangums attended, so I got to see SO many of my favorite people!
The ward is still great. They all told me my Tagalog was so much better and that I was skinnier (woot woot) so I am definitely so glad I went back. Plus I got to see Zeiti's ADORABLE baby, Princess, who was just the cutest little thing ever. Plus there were 7 other new babies in the ward. Yes. 7. Oh man. It was such a good visit, plus seeing everyone again at church.
Today I had themed our P-day today as 'nature' so we went on a beautiful hike with our District to mount Makiling. (last week the theme was SM, and the week before was Palengke). The Hike was so fun though. It was pretty much hiking through the jungle and I managed to get a lot of scratches all over my arms and legs, but it was so worth it. I'll probably just show you the pictures in a couple weeks:)
As for this last week of work, we are going to work our bums off everyday. I am going to make sure I leave knowing there are many investigators and potential investigators in our area book!
I love you all so much and I can't even wait to see you!!! Ingat po kayo!
Love,
Sister Mecham
