Week 82 - Cookies Week

Since I have sucked writing letters the past couple of weeks I will try to do better this week. The week was good! Super exhausting.. I feel dead haha the lack of sleep has been getting to me. This week was just super busy. We had a meeting again in Naga. Then Exchanges with the Assistants, then Zone training and interviews were tied into that. Tie in another exchange and some baptismal interviews. Just all added up. But its good to be busy! So I'lll take it.
Interviews with President was a huge blessing. Just helped me out a ton! helped me figure things out that I needed to figure out. And talking to Sister Reeder is also a huge blessing! she is the best. haha the sweetest ever.

The work is coming along! We had our 70 year old investigator come to church. He is a professor here at a college. 70 years old and still teaching! he is super golden. Just super prepared. the only struggle has been getting him to church. And he finally came! So let the progression continue :) the mission is awesome.

Life is good! time is flying by way too quick... But that is what makes it enjoyable! makes me appreciate each day I have. I love you all! I ate balot this week... Wasn't as bad as I thought! but I won't eat it again maybe haha all is well. I leave you with a scripture! D&C 64:33. Until next time folks.

Week 81 - What Week

This week fly by. I have no time... Things are great.  I Love life! The mission is the best. so grateful to be here. I leave you with a scripture. 1 Nephi 6:4. Until next time folks.

Week 80 - Another Week

No time and don't know what to write haha things are good! I love the mission. I love life! Time is going by way too quick... cool things of the week. I ate stingray and snail. I freeze every night cuz its cold. This cat has a mustache. Love you all! I leave you with a scripture John 5:30. Until next time peeps.

Week 79 - Going Back Week

I have no time! im sorry! I am here in Labo. My new comp is E. Esteves. He is my batch! He is the guy i took the pic with last week that i sent haha foreshadow a little bit..

I am pumped to be here! This area is right next to my first area. So that is super cool! and I am just loving it here. haha Work is going by really good We spent all week finding and had some success. We have just been trying to talk to as many people as possible and it has been working. We have some really really cool potential families lined up and hopefully they will see what this gospel can do for their family! Nothing better than getting the chance to be with your family for forever.

We had a bagyo hit again yesterday. Rain and winds. nothing too bad. Messed with church tho. but luckily we were still able to make tt to church and even had an investigator show up! Boom. I'll take it.

The only bad thing that is there is still a brown out! so it just messes up the sced.. But we are making it work! This morning they had this burger challenge. Eating a burger and fries in 3 minutes and if you do it you get it for free.. Food always taste better when it is free..

I love life! love the mission! love the new area! wouldnt wanna be anywhere else. I have never been more tired haha but its worth it. I leave you all with a scripture. D&C42:61. Until next time folks.

Week 78 - Breezy Week

Each week just gets harder and harder to write here... Big news! I'm transferred. Weird. The past 4 months here have flown by! Always hard to leave an area and this one won't different.

This week was super busy! Too much happened and I am too lazy to write it all haha Meetings, exchanges, Area Broadcast and a lot of finding. I'm gonna miss this place! It has been really chilly too at night so my sleep has been prime. No electric fan! ive been cold for the first time in a long time. We rode a train too! that was different and cool.

Our Family investigator is doing awesome! Still coming to church! So ready to be baptized. Sucks that i won't see it happen but I still feel way blessed to have gotten the chance to teach them. They are legit! there really is nothing better than seeing how the gospel changes people's lives. That is what it is all about.

Love you all! Time is ticking... Let's see where life takes us! I leave you with a scripture D&C 35:24. Until next time family.

Week 77 - Too Busy Week

I'm out of time! Crazy week... I leave you with a scripture! D&C19:23. Until next time friends!

Week 76 - American Week

Hey folks! How was Christmas? hope is was good! Happy New year! Crazy how fast time is going. its 2015!!

Skyping home was the bomb! Christmas day was the bomb! we got fed a ton hahah i feel fat... but it was super good! The members here are awesome. We just went around and shared a little Christmas message which was super powerful! I loved it. Even though it was far from family, It will be a Christmas that I will always remember!

Crazy story of the week. We taught an American! From Iowa.. We were on exchanges with some elders in their area and they had an appointment to teach a potential investigator who ended up being an American. Teaching in English is super weird.. And hard hahaha I kept wanting to speak in tagalog but he had no clue so it was a struggle. But it was one of the best lessons i have been apart of. It was like Preach My Gospel perfect. Spirit driven the whole way. I was on exchanges with Elder Spencer from Utah and we both walked out in shock on how well it went. It was so cool to be apart of! Never would of thought that would have happened on my mission haha but so glad it did.

This week we also walked 13 km this week home... We missed the last trip coming from our farthest area. And that led to a 13 km walk of 3 miles in the pitch dark hahaha that was fun. I was dead after but it led to the best sleep on my entire life! So I am not complaining.

I can't believe this year is almost over... But the cool thing is that I can say that I spent the whole year of 2014 serving the Lord... I have been thinking about that the past couple of days and it is one of the coolest feelings ever. I am grateful I have spent this whole year serving him. I have grown closer to him in more ways than possible. I have found out who my Heavenly Father is and what he gave us. His Son. And I just spent this whole year helping people realize how to make it back. Couldn't think of a better way to spend it. I love this gospel. I love this work! I love you all :) hehe take care my friends. Its a new year! Make it the best! I leave you all with a scripture D&C 11:20. Until next time family.
