Update - Sept 1

Hey everyone, this week was good! definitely seeing the blessings in the area. 

We went down to the mission home in San Fernando on Thursday for Elder Baylon's 4 week follow up training. Crazy how fast time goes, felt like yesterday I went down there to pick him up. We slept at the AP's house. Always a fun time, except the bedroom with aircon was full so we got shafted that night. So hard to sleep even when you get two fans blowing on you. I guess thats what Baguio does to you. It's gonna be a struggle when I get transferred to the low lands again. So hot there.

4 week follow up training was good, we had burger kind, didn't even know they had that in the Peens. President Oldroyd is a beauty I learned tons from him. He really teaches with the spirit. 

We had a ward party on Saturday, the ward is super fun. We played games and had food. We left early because we had an appointment. But then they weren't there when we showed up. 

So when we were tracting one day we knocked on a door, Met some 30 year old and asked if she had met members like us. Then she told us she was a member been less active for 10 years now, she got baptized when she was in her youth, was active for a while with the rest of her fam and then married some non member and had a family and became less active. We developed a good relationship with her right away and invited her to church. Didn't think much of it. 

The rest of the week we got punted, like rejected by most of our investigators that we mostly teach. SO we got kinda down and Sunday came and got our hopes up for some of our investigators to show up to church. But none of them ended up coming. BUT Keyzie showed up!!  It was a huge blessing and she said she's gonna bring her kids next week :)

Even though i was down I saw the huge blessing and God really blesses us even when its things we don't expect. 

love u all :)

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...
