Hey Everyone!!!
Well... The long awaited day has arrived!!! I'm now out of the office. It's way exciting. I am now training a new missionary. His name is Elder Potts. He is way nice. He is from Arizona. We get along really well and he is learning very fast. It's way tiring to teach someone new... mostly cause i have to do most of the work while they are just trying to keep up. BUT its still less stressful and more restful than being in the office.
So i guess i will just start from the beginning of the week. So on Mon day after i emailed i planned on going shopping... well that didn't work out... i got sent to drive to a place called Kabankalan which is about 2 hours away from bacolod... so we left Bacolod at about 1 o'clock with a truck full of desks beds and other random objects and headed out. on the way down my companion Elder Gardner, fell asleep while i drove... He isn't allowed to drive yet... haha its way funny. i laugh at him all the time. When we got there we dropped off the stuff and then up walked a couple of elders from a place called Tapi... Elder Reyes told me he needed to text him mom cause he needed money.... so i called President Tobias to get permission for him to text his mother... He gave him permission so he texted and we waited for the information we needed to get the money... it took two more hours before we got the info... when we finally got the information we got him the money and then me and Elder Gardner set out to return to the office in Bacolod. On the way back we saw elders in every town we went through so we stopped and gave them rides to their appointments. so we finally got back to bacolod aournd 8 pm... when we got back... i was informed that i had to take the even further drive to sipalay the next morning... it is a 4 hour drive there... and to add on top of that i had to be back by 2 in the afternoon.... so.... i went home finally got to sleep around midnight..... the rest of the office elders got home around 1 am woke me up and then i had to get up at 4am... Me and elder gardner left the apartment by 430 and were headed for sipalay by 5... Again me driving cause he is not allowed.. we drove down and back all in one with no rest stops... only long enough to drop off the furniture in sipalay. we got back around 12 noon... i was exhausted..... well... some of my best friends in the mission went home this week.... Elder Wade, Elder Potter, Elder LeCheminant, Elder Headman, Elder Pelipel, Elder Headman... It was way sad to see them go... but hey i won't be to far behind them. But i really miss them... I guess now you won't read in my emails about the things that Elder Potter assigned me to do.. Haha... Wala na sia... anyways. On friday... Transfer day i thought i was out of the office... but after they told us who our companions are and as we were walking out the door... they told me i had to help them drop people off at the bus station.... It took forever!!!! Finally we got it all done and me and my Bata (Trainee) got to go and do some shopping and go to our new area. I am now in a place called Bata... Just barely on the out skirts of the city. so if they have any questions they can get a hold of me way easy.. haha.
Well thats it for this email. I just wanted to let you know that i love you all!!! i will send pictures maybe next week if i get time.
Love you all!!!
Love always,
Elder Larsen
