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!

Transfers!

Guess what?! I'm getting transferred! I know I sound happy about it but I have mixed feelings. I know it is where I am meant to go, I'm excited, but I also know I will miss Pasuquin and the people that make it great. It feels like I am going to be leaving my home all over again. We good though! I think this experience will truly be for my good! Also, I can brag that I out lived 5 sisters in Pasuquin! So this week, we had our interviews with President Peterson and I realized while we were there that I feel so comfortable talking with them so I was happy to find that out about myself. It was a good interview.  We also had another great lesson with someone Elder Dagulo and I found last week so that was awesome! Sisters Autufuga and Mariano are going home and I am going to Cagayan! I'm going specifically to an area called Ballesteros. I am not only transferring but also becoming the senior companion! That is super crazy for me. Elder Dagulo is going to have Elder Peterson (a ...

Happy Father's Day!

So Happy Father's Day to all those fathers and future fathers out there. Also, Happy Birthday Kenzie! This week has been a lot better so thank you for all the prayers that you may have sent my way! We had some great experiences this week but the highlight for this week was for sure Friday and Saturday. Friday, we had the baptismal interview for Maricel and she, obviously, passed so that was super cool then we went to another appointment with the Ulibas family. This is just a sweet Nanay and her son that have been super welcoming to us. That is actually where that picture with the Buko(coconut) came from. We taught them Lesson 1 and the spirit was so strong. It was one of those lessons where I was speaking words in Tagalog that I didn't know but I just threw them out because they felt right and it ended up being the right sentence structure and the right words so even my companion was surprised afterwards by how much Tagalog I spoke. But the lesson went great and they received ...
