Beach Vibes - Dec 8

-
Hey everyone! Just a little update. Congrats to Parks, the first bud home. Time will just fly and all of us will be back. .... 

SO we had a little MLC this week, our mission president is super sick. His counsel is super good and I feel the spirit so strongly when he testifies. A little hard to explain, but it feels really good. 

I've noticed a big change in the missionaries since he has arrived. Everyone is feeling better about the work, feeling the love from each other and it has blessed the mission overall. He has taught us to love each other, and to love the people around us. 

Super important this time of year we get to celebrate the birth of our Saviour.

President spoke in sacrament in our branch and told the story in Luke 2 of the shepherds that were watching the flock in the field then suddenly an Angel appeared to them and said in verse 10, "Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
I love reading these scriptures so much, and every December it make it extra special. We don't need to fear because Jesus is here. Because he was born on earth we don't need to fear in our lives. We can find joy and peace through anything we are going through. And that's the reason why I am here on my mission. There's no better gift that God has given.
The rest of the week was dope, we have been working with 2 less active families and I hope this month we can bring them closer to Christ so they can feel that joy too.
Good start to the new transfer though. Time goes so fast .
Love you 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 ...

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...
