Elder Nathan Michael Clark: 2014-11-17 Zone Conference in Porta Princesa

In reply to your questions. I will most likely stay in Taytay for 3 more months, so six months total! But nothing is sure. I hope it is six months! This is the best place in the mission, I'm convinced! So My training finishes on wednesday, which is also transfer day, so I might get a new companion. My companion is going home after the next transfer, so i will guaranteed have a new companion in either six weeks, or two days. Almost everyone here has cell phones, but most of the cell phones here are like the pay as you go. We have a really crappy cell phone, and speaking of that, I already broke one. I think I told you that. But that will cost 1,000 pisos which is sad. And we aren't supposed to drink regular water here, but I mean I have drank it many times at members houses, and I have only been sick once. So the water here is pretty safe. In the city however, i think it is more dangerous. I think everything is just cleaner out here than in the city. And perhaps I will try to buy you some pearls mom. I know a guy who finds these huge pearls, I'll ask him for some small ones, or i'll buy you some in Puerto when I go there!

So This week has been a stressful one, but I don't mind being stressed, It makes me feel like I'm doing something Important haha. Anyways, I was trying try help them organize the Primary program, and I had to teach all the members on saturday, and then again on sunday at church. And there has been lots of problems with gossip in the church. I have gained a sure testimony of how detrimental gossip is to church members. It's hard to not have a fully funtional, or self sustaining group, but it is fun to help them become better disciples of Christ. Like in the gospel principles class, most people don't even know a lot of the basic things about the things we teach, so its cool to really help them learn things they didn't know and teach them super in depth all the principles. It's really cool here! I love it soo much!!!!!

Another food that I really like is Tocino Pork (and rice of course). It's super good, And I think you should cook adobo, its good too! Will you send me the recipe for miss Fields chocolate chip cookies, the one with oatmeal. And sugar cookies. And any other cookies that are easy to make? It would probably be easy If you just took a picture of the recipe.

Here are all of the pictures for this week.
