Not much to report this week. We taught a lot of people.Had a lot of returned appointments. Idk what it is but we always get to the Book of Mormon lesson and then people start punting us. It's usually after 2 or 3 visits. But it's alright we won't give up on them. 

Baguio is still sick I love it here. When you got to town it's so asian here. I love it though. Also love the pinos and pinas :) Coolest thing are the jeepneys. The designs they have on them are so cool sometimes. Sorry i sound like i just got here. But i just appreciate this place a lot. 

This week we had some cool experiences with less actives. This one member who hasn't been to church since 1996 that we have been visiting finally came to church this week.
Sometimes thats just your role, sometimes you're there to plant, harvest and bring people back. This area has been a lot of planting and  bringing people back (trying to).

We had service this week at a members house, most of the district went but when we got there,we pretty much just cleaned the members bedroom and folded their clothes. The kid was just sitting there doing nothing. Kinda useless but hey I am happy to help. My comp was chapped, but they fed us after eh.

So yeah hopefully something cool happens this week, I get to meet our new mish pres, he's coming up to bags.

Love you all eh. Wish I could tell you all about everything that goes on here, but its better left unsaid and you probably don't care that much eh

Hey everyone! This was a solid week for me and Elder Fillo! We started this week out doing exchanges with our district leader and it was a great day. We had a fun time biking to the far areas and meeting some interesting people. One girl we met had a bunch of "text mates" we watched her facetime them and their all in Pakistan and India hahah one guy was like 50 and driving some weird bike in India and she was talking to him for some reason. None of my business I guess. We taught her the restoration and she found it interesting that we would come so far to just share a message with no salary./ hahah I understood why she thought it was weird. Then Wednesday we had some more exchanges with my guy Elder McAllister. His personality reminds me of Carson. A really good guy. He's from Australia and one of the coolest I've met in the mish. He has been struggling a little bit with his comp and so it was nice to focus on him and what he has been learning on his missi...

New Area!

Hey everyone! So I got transferred out of Baguio finally :( Super sad to leave that area because I was there for almost 6 months. But I expected to be transferred. So now I went down to the lowlands. To Bauang which is the next zone over from my first zone in Agoo. Just north of it.  But before I left I had the chance of watching Anthony Fajardo get baptized. We had met Anthony on the street in July and he had a bunch of questions about God and Heavenly Father and after teaching him for 1 month, he came to church and accepted to be baptized. And the Sunday before I left he got baptized. It was one of the best days on my mission. Watching Anthony get up to bear his testimony that He knows that Jesus Christ lives and that God has restored his church through a prophet was the best thing in the world. It made all the hard times I ever experienced in that area worth it.  I also got to speak in sacrament meeting before I left and thanked all ...

Got like no time to talk about this week, but it was solid. Went on Exchanges, on Wednesday with Elder Cluff from Utah. It was something, just two white guys that don't know Tagalog trying to talk to people. It tested me so that was good. I really need to prepare myself for when I have to lead an area.  One time this week we were teaching this fam and the fam has tons of kids and in the middle of our lesson, all the kids got naked and were bathing with a bucket and scoop beside the pump. There was probs like 15 kids running around naked. SO it was pretty distracting. Hahaha made me think "where the heck am I right now", anyways Christmas time here is crazy, theres this huge Fiesta in Sison and it felt like a Filipino stampede haha. It was sweet though they have rides and food and tons of things to buy. But we just had to pass through.  Theres this one family we have a solid baptismal date for in January, so I hope I don't get transferred somewhere else. They...
