Elder Skinner picking pecks of pickled peppers Oct. 2, 2016

But, before we get into the picking of peppers... Hello everyone! Kamusta ang araw mo? ...I'll wait while you go to Google Translate to figure out what that meant, and then I'll explain that this week was transfers and I have a new companion! Elder Saguinshin, from the Philippines! He's a young missionary, though my elder in years on earth, and he's a great companion and friend so far. We've already had plenty of adventures, the most notable of which being the above mentioned pepper picking!

Thursday, the day after transfers. We go to a members' house, who lives south of Ilsan proper and in the countryside... At the end of the bus route. We pick peppers for about 2 and a half hours and we maybe got halfway done. Pictures attached~

Later on, this Sunday, it started to rain. Me and my companion decided it would be good to go out and find people anyway, so we get out with high hopes and equally high spirits... and then it rains harder. Nobody's outside, and even those that are don't want to talk to us... Well, everyone has those days, I guess.

I don't have much time to make other announcements, but things are still going well out here in the old Ilsan. Hope you all have a great week, full of blessings and perhaps some Great Chocolate Pies (That honestly could be greater), but until then, James 5:7-8, and lots of love!
