Til We Meet Again


Hello to all! Starting off, I love you all! Life is crazy so I just felt like I should let you know that you (yes you) can find peace in Christ. Anyway.

Saturday: We taught again and it went pretty well. The Elders from the "older" districts were packing tonight which was really crazy to think that they are going to the Philippines on Monday and getting there on Wednesday. Since we had Daylight Savings, they are now 15 hours ahead of us. We got new zone leaders today! It's Elders Jones and Collinwood. 

Sunday: It was a good sacrament meeting. Brother Tuttle spoke and it was a great talk. It was an interesting day. I felt a little sick earlier so that wasn't the best. We had a devotional with the Lux Singers and they are like chamber choir. They were really good and shared a good message. We went to Elder Holland's "Missions are forever" which was really fun. He had an interesting perspective on missionaries and how they are the closest thing to an Apostle most of us will ever get to. I hung out with the Elders that are leaving tomorrow. We got a bunch of cool things but we are just sad they are leaving. 

Monday: I was a little sick today but I powered through the day. We had TRC's again today but they went pretty well. The older elders left today. We had Kalua Pork for dinner so it kind of reminded me of home.

Tuesday: We had a workshop that was really good. Brother Eggett was awesome as always. We are singing "Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise" for Thanksgiving which is a song that I like a lot. We had Elder Stevenson and his wife come for the Devotional which was so cool. The spirit was so strong! Elder Stevenson talked about our "survival kit" which was 1. the scriptures 2. The Missionary Handbook 3. Preach My Gospel. That was really cool.

Wednesday: We did a lot for service today. We had a bunch of new missionaries show up today including JT! (Elder Thomas) Our lessons went well. We met the new district today and we gave them a few pointers. 

Thursday: We had Shawn, Josh, and I play basketball today which was so fun to do especially since Shawn is leaving on Monday. At lunch, I saw Cade! (Elder Thaxton) We laughed together for 30 minutes at the end of class so Brother Dustin ended class early.

Mahal Kita! (Love you)

New Companion!

This is Elder Saberdo. He's my new companion here in Ballesteros. He's great! Now that you know him, I can get to my week. A lot happened but mostly we just visited the members this week so that they could meet Elder Saberdo. We also met this Nanay on Saturday night and just kind of invited her to church. The member we were working with that day waited until after our conversation to tell us that she is crazy. On Sunday, she came to church and started asking people for money and apparently, later after we left, she started calling people devils and went hysterical so one of the members called the police. So that was super fun. But, on another note, my companion has a super strong testimony so our lessons have been going great! I'm excited for this next week! I hope you all had and will have a great week! I love you all and I know that God has a plan for you! He will help you through anything you have a problem with if you just pray to Him!

Lots of Rain!

I promise my companion is not as crazy as my pictures make him seem. He just is a goof. Also, I'm wet in that picture because it was raining. You just can't see it. Happy Birthday to my Uncle David and Elder Kirkby! This week, we were able to find in a very natural way. Namely, it was pouring rain and someone offered us a ride to central. We found out that they lived in our area and we were able to introduce ourselves to them and share a bit before we got to central. We got so wet that day, it was easier to see without my glasses than with them! I was absolutely soaked through my clothes. Not only that but the lightning was blindingly bright and the thunder sounded like the end of days. It sounded like an earthquake! It was really fun to be a part of because I, like my sister, love rain. We were also able to find by playing basketball with some members and their nonmember friends. That is one of my favorite ways to find to be honest. You really can find using things that you li...

Fun With Friends

*Editors note: This week, you'll see his last two emails* Sunday, June 23, 2019 This week was crazy but not like really busy crazy, more like fry your brain crazy. It's hard to explain so I won't try but I will tell you some things about this week. So this week, we didn't have baptisms scheduled but we were able to attend the baptisms of the other Elders in our district and not only that, President Peterson was there! He was here for interviews but stayed for the baptism. We had a funeral we were invited to attend for a member as well as one of our investigators passed away. That was crazy because we had talked to him the day before. So that was a bit rough. I just find solace in the fact that now he can be taught by some of the most experienced missionaries ever. Anyway, none of the lessons we had this week are really standing out to me but it was a good week. I have been reading Jesus the Christ in my studies recently and I am just in awe of how many years it too...
