Here's another Filipino Friday for all of you reading.
Regardless what I say about this area, I really did enjoy most of my time there. Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya was an area where I learned to grow and where I learned a lot about the importance of obedience. In Bayombong, I served with two companions; Elder Urgelles, in his last cycle before going home, and Elder Alimagno, my first junior companion. I will admit that Elder Urgelles and I were not as obedient as we should have been, but the work was good and we had fun. Within the first weeks of being with Elder Alimagno, I got sick from Dengue for the second time. That put me out of work for five weeks. When I came back to work, I received a lot of negative response. Supposedly, people thought that I was just being lazy and refusing to work. Well, to salvage the area, I requested a transfer. I loved Bayombong, and I loved Nueva Vizcaya. It's a shame that the paradise of my mission was more like hell for me, but I don't blame anyone. If anything, I blame myself. Anyway, to get to my picture for today, this is me with my companion, Elder Urgelles (taking picture) at a street burger trailer, eating the one pound, or giant burger they offered. It was good. I loved that place and I crave a burger from those trailers almost everyday.
