There's no place like Dome

Hey everyone thank you for the birthday wishes. Love u all! :) 
This week was good, conference was a nice break, and nice to listen to our prophets and the other leaders of the church. There were too many good talks to talk about. The Hobbit one by Dieter was really good. The adventure has been amazing and even though there are a lot of bad days, it just makes the good days that much better. God is here to help us in everything we do. 

Our investigator Anthony has his baptism on Saturday. He is super excited. It has been such a miracle that i Have been a part of his conversion and got to watch him grow. It makes everything worth it. I know his life will be changed and the same with his kids. 

This week I went on exchanges with my guy Elder Maddox. had a good time, idk what he was thinking though cause him and his comp bought weights from some members and then we picked them up and carried them all the way home. idk why we didnt taxi or something, but these weights are freaking heavy and we carried them up a mountain in his area, and got lost on the way. 

Transfer call is this week, so we'll see if i get kicked out. Might be a better thing before i spend too much money here on food and souvenirs lol. 

miss u all :) I loved what was addressed a bunch of times in “The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives."

If we focus on what is important in our lives, like keeping the commandments, living the gospel, serving others. We can be really happy. 

Love you all
Elder Dome

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...
