Hello Family! Sorry I'm late, we went to a
zone activity (go to a cool place with 20 other missionaries).
First offs, New Chinese New Year!
Apparently in the Philippines the Chinese new
year is a big enough deal to get a national holiday. So that was fun (as
in, a normal day of missionary life just combined with a little parade and some
fireworks). Who'd of thought though. I guess we use Cinco de Mayo
as an excuse for a holiday and that's not ours either is it?
This week was great! ...busy! We went
to Catanduanes again! Island travel sure was more of an adventure the
first few times... As soon as we got back from Cats, we had two days of
leadership training which went very well! I love the opportunities we get
to help with all that. Mostly I like being able to learn so much from
President. The next two weeks are going to be busy, busy! We have
transfer planning (figuring out which area will everyone go to next) this week
and the actual transfer week the following week.
Does it get old if I just tell you all about the
spiritual things I'm experiencing right now? Before, I would always try
and include something adventurous or a funny story or something in these
letters to make them more interesting but after being in the office, I'm slowly
running out of those stories! I can't begin to describe though how often
we have powerful spiritual moments. Golden investigators, soooooo many
people coming to church and just always feeling happy and motivated is how I
would truly describe this week. Wish I could tell you every story!
Pictures will have to do. Love you!
Love, Elder Shane Brown
Pictures -
1. Cool view of the church and Mayon
covered with clouds in the background.
2. Suuuuuper vivid rainbow. If you
look closely, you can see the double rainbow above it. That was really
bright as well but started to fade before we could picture it. Darn.
3-5. Cool bread!
6-9. Bits of the parade
