To answer your questions, my comp is from Manila. He is awesome. He is 19. He has been in the mission field for 4 months. The living conditions are good. Don’t worry. They take good care of the missionaries here. We have a small apartment, really small, but perfect for two people. We are getting two more elders in our AREA! I think we might move. We don’t have air conditioning, so we carry our electric fans everywhere you go in the apartment.
This week was awesome! We HAD PEOPLE COME to our class and we taught English! We had 6 people! The members are finally starting to trust and work with us! Working together we are becoming unified. FINALLY STARTING TO SEE a progress in the branch. We are still looking for our first baptism. We are also trying to get one of our investigators to attend church. We’re still going strong, don’t worry.
Story time, we had this appointment yesterday. It was my companion, the branch mission leader, and I. They said, “Elder Hernandez are you ready to work”? I said, "of course" They said, “do you see that mountain”? I said “yes”... They said, “Our next appointment is on the top of the mountain”. TALK ABOUT A LEG KILLER! If I could describe our area in just six words, it would be..."The Indiana Jones Ride at Disneyland" That is literally what our area looks like. The houses outside of the "Centro" or town center area are literally straw and island huts. Public transportation is like being in the “Jeep” of the Indiana Jones ride but without seat belts. IT’S SO MUCH FUN!
Don’t get scared mom but basically every time we use public transportation, which is every day, there is slight possibility of dying. There are no traffic laws and the driving here is crazy. The only rule of the road is, the bigger the car has the have the right of way. Ha-ha
I got my companion addicted to peanut butter. He is putting peanut butter and syrup on pancakes. I’m so grateful they sell it here!
Love you all so much!
Elder Hernandez
