I'm just going to start this off by getting this out of the way, because right now writing my email is my distraction from it. I MISS MUSIC. I was watching old videos from when I went to rolling loud and saw all of opium perform and it made me miss concerts. I so badly wish we could have Spotify too, because I miss finding new music. Zack, Trevor, Johnny, if you guys still read these, please keep me updated on new drops. I know Lone dropped a new album a little while ago, but don't know if it was buns or not.
IMMIGRATION DAY
On Thursday we all had to go to Cebu to do something with immigration. I really don't know what it was, but I got to ride a ferry to and from Cebu with some chillers. Elder Johnson, Nicolas, Sligting, Chase and I all just stood on the top deck both times and joked around with each other. It was super fun, and I’m lowkey hoping that one day I become comps with at least one of them. They were all also people that I had similar experiences back home with, in terms of things we did. So I got to talk about some things with them that I haven't gotten to talk to anyone about since being away home. Oh, and Sister Anderson was there too. When we got there, there were people from the Cebu mission and other missions that I haven't seen since the MTC. It was super hype to get to catch up with them and see them all. The most common things said to me was
you lost weight/where are your muscles (thanks James)
you put fire songs on your notes
THE SPECIAL CLUB
From the port where the ferry gets in to our apartment is about an hour and forty minute drive. We were with President and Sister Scott and they were staying in Talibon, which is somewhat near to our apartment, so they drove me home. On the way, I got to talk to them about a lot of stuff. They were asking me questions and I got to ask them questions. It was really interesting. We stopped at a 7/11 where Pres said there was a 3 item limit. So obviously I got mogu mogu and a magnum ice cream bar While me, Pres and Sister Scott sat outside eating our ice cream, Pres said that we were now part of a special club. He said that one night on his mission in japan, he ate snacks at night at 7/11 with his mission president.
SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT
This branch is desperately looking for a building. Right now we share a building with the Talibon branch, which is pretty far from our area. A building they were looking at just fell through too, and everyone is pretty sad about that. President told us that he had a special assignment for us to look for and find a house for rent in our area that they could use as a church building. So far we have found one. We are just waiting to hear if it will work or not.
CLOSING REMARKS
Basically my whole mission I've been thinking a lot about what I'm going to do when I get home. My whole life I've known that I don't know how yet, but I will be rich. There's a song by Playboi Carti and the main line is, "just to feel like this, it took a long time" I wish I could be home getting my bread up, but it's going to take some time. I'll get there one day. It's just going to take some patience and maybe a long time.
Hopefully #66,
Elder Lewis
