12 March 1999

Elder Pfister was transferred on Tuesday.  He's assigned in Ormoc now.  Elder Kenney's new companion is fresh from the MTC.  His name is Elder Anderson.  Elder Kenney is excited, because this is his first time training.  After we were done proselyting on Wednesday night, we ate a "greenie" (missionary slang for new missionary) snack: green coconuts, green bananas, green ice cream (buco (young coconut) avocado), and balut (fetal duck egg).  I actually ate it this time.  It tasted okay, but the actual duck fetus was really mushy, so I didn't really enjoy it.

There were a lot of baptismal interviews that needed to be done in Ormoc Zone yesterday.  To make it possible to be done, all of the district leaders and their companions (Elder Roberts is a district leader) met at the zone leaders' apartment for lunch (really good pizza), and then we all split off.  Elder Roberts went to Canangga with Elder Jensen and Elder Bradbury.  I came back to Albuera with Elder Pfister and his new companion, Elder McIver (Elder Roberts' companion in the MTC).  We're going back to Ormoc this morning to get back into our companionships.
