Last Two Weeks

-
Hey everyone, just an update for the last two week, didn't have to time to email last week :)
Things are good in Baguio, work is picking up, we are finding less and teaching way more. We are teaching a couple people that are attending church with us, and then they disappear for a little while. But we have one solid guy named Anthony that is excited for his baptism. The only problem is he has to work every other Sunday. But besides that he has such a humble heart. He has been my favourite to teach in my whole mission. He understands, has questions and follows the commitments. Can't believe we just found him on the streets in August. He is super ready for the gospel. 

Another blessing is the reactivation of this LA, she is super active now in church and relief society, it has been a huge reward :) 

Gonna hit the 1 year mark in the 2nd area, which is fine cause I love it here. Wouldn't mind another transfer. But I'm good with anything. As long as I have water in the house. haha

Our mission President is awesome, we had another zone conference, he really brings the love and the spirit into the room. Also weird to see new missionaries. It goes by so fast. :( 

So busy times, sometimes it hurts my head thinking about how I can use my time to the fullest and do everything the Lord wants me to do. But I try, it's been a good time. 

Love u all thank you for the emails

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 ...

No time, no pics

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...
