Philippines Legazpi Mission: Elder Feraer

BAGAMANOC | Day 137 to 138 |

AUGUST 30, 2014:
Finally! We're on San Vicente again. All the travels and the conference consumed almost our whole week. We're all tired and it's nice to be in our own apartment again. We rest and do all our laundry afterward. I also had the chance to organize my mission album and journal. I love doing these things because photography was my passion before I became a missionary. 📷



AUGUST 31, 2014:
This is the last Sunday of Elder Moran. He'll finish his mission soon and return home. This is also his last area and definitely a memorable place for him. During his talk in the sacrament meeting, he has teary eyes and bid his farewell and appreciation to the San Vicente branch. We'll miss him.

 After the Sunday service, we went to the Garcia Family and they also prepared lunch for us. The Garcia Family will definitely miss Elder Moran too.

Our delicious lunch! Thank you always Garcia Family.

Pardon me if I looked like a hipster in this photo. I removed my tie in the meantime because it was really hot and I sweat a lot easier. 😅

 We did missionary work in the afternoon and after that, we joined the other Elders for the Family Home Evening at the Toltol Family's home. It's also kind of a farewell party for Elder Moran. There are also fun games led by himself, the game master. Haha. It was really fun. Some members also send their thank you messages to Elder Moran. It was a fun and emotional night.

BAGAMANOC | Day 134 to 136 |

AUGUST 27, 2014:
Lots of travels today! Haha. San Vicente to Bagamanoc P. (1 1/2 hr via boat), Bagamanoc P. to Virac (3 hrs via bus), Virac to San Andres (1 hr via tricycle), and San Andres Pier to Tabaco Pier (3+ hrs via ship). 😩 Compare to the last conference back in May, I am not that excited about tomorrow. I'm loosening up and it's just like normal for me now. Most of my former zone mates in Tabaco were also gone. There's a lot of new faces tomorrow for sure. The only thing I was excited about was to learn something new in the workshop tomorrow.


AUGUST 28, 2014:
Today is the Zone Conference of Tabaco and Catanduanes Zone. It was nice to see other missionaries again. We learned a lot from President Guanzon's workshop. It will help us all to become better missionaries. We also saw the growth of Catanduanes Zone in terms of key indicators through the months. It was definitely better ever since. President Guanzon was happy about the progress of our Zone. After the workshop, we ate, then took a lot of pictures. Haha. It's a usual thing to do when there's a large group of missionaries gathering.

AUGUST 29, 2014:
We're back in Catanduanes! We also slept over in Bato Elders apartment. It's my first time being in there and that was also Elder Moran's previous area. Their apartment is really nice! The family member in there who are also close to Elder Moran treats us lunch and dinner at their house. They are really nice. 😊
