Well I did not think that I was going to transfer but I did. :) This is super confusing but I will try to explain where I am at :) My area is an Island in the city of Dagupan. We live on the main land and are in Calasiao zone :) But yeah :) My new area is super cool :) We get to ride boats to our area everyday:) They are little canoes :) called Bankas!! Its super cool :) It doesn't have any beaches here though.... The island is named Carmay, Carael Island :) It has one road that goes through the whole island. It is full of fish ponds and oyster fields. One cool thing that we did is went and caught crabs :) We have to walk on bamboo bridges that are super scary when its high tide. I almost fell in the other day :) The houses are built on bamboo stilts so its cool to watch while your teaching. You can look down and see the ocean and fish underneath the house :) My new companion is Elder Tomas from Manila :) He just finished his training!
We had a baptism on Saturday :) A part member family, in which the dad and the 2 kids got baptized! We have baptisms planned for every single week in January so I hope they will continue to progress:) I am super excited for what is hopefully to be my last area :)
I just want to share a story about a lady named A. She tried to hide from us when we first got to her home, but as we were teaching she felt this spirit and knew that it was true :) She didn't come to church but her kids came. We visited them again and her kids helped her make up her mind about coming to church:) So, she is going to try to come. I love the spirit :) It's amazing :) With it I can do anything :)
Anyway Merry Christmas everyone :) I know that as we accept Jesus in our lives and give him the gift of our will, we can become better disciples of him :) I love you all :)
Merry Christmas Again :)
Elder Bigelow
