We will miss you PRESIDENT LEE and Sister HAN!!!

Goodbye President Lee and Sister Han!!!




Hello 나의 가족!!! Last week was so sad and spiritual. Last wednesday, we

had our last zone conference with our beloved Mission President and

his wife. It was sad because we love him and they're great people!

When Sister Han gave her last message to us, we are all started

crying, she talked about reading the scriptures daily and how her

mission change her a lot. She expressed how she loves us. President

Lee cried too and it was my first time to see him crying.He talked how

the 3 years gone by so fast and he can't believed that his calling as

a mission President is done. It was really emotional. We sang God Be

With You Till We Meet Again and at the last verse, we (missionaries)

standed and sandg it with conviction for him. It was really emotional.

After the closing prayer, we were all quiet and didn't prepare for

lunch, we just stared at him and his wife.Ah!!! I will miss him!!!

Then after the conference, he gave us hug and saying goodbyes.ㅜ.ㅜ...



At that day too, I had splits with my zone leader because he's going

home. We ate DOG MEAT!!!!!! Yes!!!! Dog meat!!! They're investigator

treated us in a dog resto and at first I didn't want too. When I ate

the meat, it was weird but after that bite, I liked it. It tasted like

goat meat and so soft!!! We went back to our area and visited the

filipina member. It was fun.



The next day, I went to Shiheung for splits again! It was so hot and

so humid!!! I really don't like summer here, I like summer in us coz

it's windy. Me and Elder Kim had some success and at night, we met

they're less-active member and told me about some dirty stuffs so I

just laughed. Friday, I went back at last in my area with Elder Duke.

We were both tired but still, work continues! We found some miracles

in our proselyting. We found 4 new investigators!!! I was so happy!!!



Yesterday, we had our ward conference and tons of people came. Ok I

forgot to tell you guys that our ward is pretty big, we have 150

members every sunday and yesterday, we had 180!!! This ward is huge

because of kids... We had lunch after and still,...lots of people.



This week will be our transfers. Cheeze, I'll stay here maybe with my

last companion in my mission!!! Elder Duke will maybe transferring to

another area. I only have a another transfer!!! Soooooooooo scary!!!



I took the exam and let's see the results... LOVES. PEACE.



ELDER BACARRO

100 day mark!!!

Hello Bacarro Family!!!

We just spent that 50 dollars coz we didn't have food at our house. Things are doing great here though sometimes it's hard. Dang, I got my 100 day mark in my mission last Thursday so I only have 95 days left!!! So crazy! Hopefully, someone will send me letters in my last two transfers, NO ONE SENT ME A LETTER for the last 7 months, Hahahaha!!!

We saw some miracles last week like people calling us and wants to meet. Gimpo Elders called me and said that they have a Filipino member in their ward so they asked us to go there and meet this guy. We met him, he's from Dipolog??? I actually don't know where's that place. He's been here in Korea for a year and working in Incheon. It was weird because I never talked in tagalog for the last 2 years so I had a hard time when I talked to him. I FORGOT SOME TAGALOG WORDS!

Our mission President is going home soon! We will have a zone conference this wednesday for his last testimony as a Mission President. Our new Mission President is from  US, President Brent Christensen, I'm not sure about his name but it was sounds like that. I'm excited but sad! I love President Lee.

Have a great week guys!

Seoul is the best!!!

26C Summer???

Hello to you guys! Elder Bacarro is signing ON again from Seoul, Korea. Last week was nothing. We had some weird weather here. 26c TEMPERATURE BUT STILL SO HOT FOR ME! We found some new investigators, they're 2 cute 8 year old kids, but the problem was we dropped them last thursday! Reason was their mom heard that we taught them how to pray(we actually did 30/30 program to them, 30 minutes english and 30 minutes gospel time), they decided not to meet them anymore:(... It was devastating for us because we tried to find a lot of investigators and those kids are so awesome! They were still humble at their age and they really loved us! Hahaha, I got a call from our mission office telling me about BYUH, I'll take exam this coming June, I think I'll take with some Korean missionaries, hopefully I'll pass the exam!!!

We met an old lady last week from Japan but she's half korean-japanese. Luckily she speaks korean although a lil bit. Sometimes she talks in Japanese, i wish I can still remember my Japanese back high school! Her name is SOMI??? I'm not really sure... It was sound like that. Hahaha, sorry for my disorganized emaiL. Today was our temple day and we have a new missionary from Cambodia! I had a chance to talk to him and shocked me coz he's pretty good at english...I met him today! What else do I need to tell....I think that's all folks! Still alive here and enjoying life as a missionary here in the LAND OF MORNING CALM. I love this gospel and I know that this church is true. This transfer is going smoothly so far with Elder Duke. I learned a lot and helps me to be mature in this gospel. I love him and I know HE loves us!!! Always remember that FAMILY THAT PRAYS TOGETHER, STAYS TOGETHER! I'm really grateful that you're helping and feeding the missionaries at our house. Honestly, when you started inviting missionaries in our house, I got a lots of blessings and support from the members that I served with and the areas that I've been was sweet!

PEACE! Doctrine and Covenants 4!

Me and the missionary there had street boarding, after that, we took this bus that goes back to their apartment and we met this old lady and started to talked  us because she wants to help us to carry our stuffs but I told her that we were fine, then I introduce our church to her and surprised me that she a lot about us! Then we sat and gave us 50 dollars!!!! At first we didn't want to accept it and we really didn't wanted too but she really forced us to accept it, so we got it...Highlights for the week.

ELDER BACARRO 

Michigan Test!!! HOT SUMMER!!!

Hot summmer hot hot summer!!!




Hello! This is Elder Bacarro again from Seoul, Korea! Wow days gone by

so fast and its our 3rd week now of this transfer! Last week, we had

some fun here in my area. Were kinda finding new investigators now

because we only have 1 and some of our investigators stopped meeting

with us. It was frustrating. Yesterday, we found a new investigator

and they are a family!!! My first time in my mission. They have 2 cute

daughters and they surprised me because they went to Cebu before for

english. They said they loved it and I was kind of jealous

because....I want to go there!!!!



Hahaha, we found another one and she's a lady. She was kinda weird

because of her love of whitre people and it was so awckward, even our

member felt that. We decided to refer her to Incheon Bupyeong Sisters

because she lives there. I honestly don't want to meet her... We had a

dinner with our filipina member here from Ilocos and at last, I had

adobo and pansit after 7 months!!! I just cried when I saw adobo! I

miss it sooooooooo much! Her name is Minnie from Batac Ilocos Norte.

She served her mission in Micronesia Guam Mission. We talked a lot

about missionary work and she told us that they have cars in their

mission and she learned how to drive in just two weeks!!! She's here

in Korea I think because she's an english teacher? Her husband is a

korean but he's a member and ACTIVE! They have 2 sons adn both of them

knows only english or korean. I saw one of their shirts and they have

vigan shirt with ilokano on it! It was weird!



Hey, good news I got a call from our office yesterday. They told about

michigan test and yeah, I think this saturday...I'll take michigan

test!!! Hopefully I'll pass at this time...If not...I'll just go to

school there in Philippines. Haha, I'm not really sure what major am I

goona take but I'm thinking of History or Education. I don't know.

Haha, I wish I'm fluent at it but you know, korean is really

hard...I'm happy that raining season starts now there. Hahaha,

missionaries!!! Tell them that they should love the people they teach

and also the members. Okay family, Have a great day and just pray for

my exam this coming saturday. If I will not pass, it's okay. My

another option is just got back to school in Phil and hang out with

you guys! I LOVE YOU!!!



ELDER BACARRO

Bucheon!!! Probably my last area!!!

We got our transfer calls last sunday after our services and I'm here


in Bucheon Ward Seoul Kangseo Stake. I gave my talk yesterday and they

just laughed. I actually don't know why??? Hehehehe...Hey, we have a

filipina member in our ward and she's from Ilocos Norte. She's active

and married to a korean guy but the good thing is they're both members

and they're 2 sons too. The ward here is bigger than my last area.

They have 150 members here that comes to church so it's....fun!



The apartment is so small but it's sweet coz we dont get sunlight so

it's not getting hot:D My companion is Elder Duke from Eagle Mt., Utah

and we know alot so we were both excited serving together. I met one

of our investigator last wednesday and she's so golden and so close to

baptism but the problem is she's living with her fiancee so she can't

be baptize. They said they will wait up to November. She comes to

church every Sunday and the members are really fellowshipping her.



Our area is between Seoul and Incheon so it's awesome. We got Taco

Bell here, Krispy Kreme and Outback!!! I miss those and McDonalds!!!

I'm really excited to serve in this area. Sad though coz probably it's

my last area in my mission. Man, I can't believe that I'm going home

soon but it helps me alot to work harder. I love my mission and I'm

really really excited here in Bucheon!



Thanks for calling me yesterday and that will be my last call to you

guys as a missionary...Next time, we will talk face to face!!! I LOVE

YOU ALL AND So rainy today here in Seoul! Monsoon season is coming

here and hot and humid summer too!!!



ELDER BACARRO



Peace!!!

FILIPINO WEEK! Cinco De Mayo!

FILIPINO WEEK!!!




Last week was kegit! I saw a lot of iflipinos in our district finding activity. First, some of our missionaries talk to them and they will call me coz I'm a Filipino. Then last wednesday, I was on a splits with my district leader, one of the missionaries in our mission called me and he met a filipino guy, so I talked to the guy and I was surprise because he's from St. Monica, Pampanga. My pampango SUCKS! Even my tagalog. He told me that my pampango or tagalog has an accent. He thought that I'm a foreigner. Shoot!



We got our transfer calls from our mission President yesterday. Early huh? My companion needs to go back to Busan because of military so we will go to Seoul Station today and I'll get my new companion and go to my next area. I'll go to Bucheon ward Seoul Kangseo stake. It's an area between SEOUL AND INCHEON and south of Gimpo airport? I'll serve with ELDER DUKE!!!! Yes!!! I'll serve with him!!!



Yesterday in our testimony meeting. I shared my testimony and I was really sad because I felt that I'm leaving. I will miss this area especially the members. They're so humble and love us so much!



Mother's day in coming!!! I sent my stuffs last friday so you'll maybe get it in one month. It's a big box so you need someone with you to get that. You maybe need Dad to drive. It's a big box. I sent my winter stuffs, ties, my picture in Han River with picture frame so you can put in our house.



I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU ALL!!! 2 TRANSFERS LEFT!!!
