You Should Know, You're Filipino!

That's what I say to my companion every time he says he doesn't know. Joke lang ito talaga. But kind of real, sometimes. We keep working hard and trying to get new people to teach while still visiting those we were teaching before as missionary life is. This week we have had more wonderful people help out. Some of our areas are 4 km. away and that doesn't really sound like that much but factor in that it is mostly uphill and in the heat of the Philippines, it makes it hard to visit all of our areas. It also doesn't help that we have around 20 areas so we try to visit multiple each day. That leads to a lot of walking which means we don't have as much time to teach but the transportation to those places is expensive. The free rides that people are giving us are really helpful and usually it helps us to be able to teach them while they are serving us. These people truly are gifts from God. We taught a few good lessons and had district conference. It was all about ministering so I was able to take some notes that will help with missionary work. That's about it for me this week. Sorry if my pictures are hard to access but I'm trying to solve that. So this week we are only sending a few. I love you all and I know God loves you too! He is aware of you and really does answer prayers! Love you all!

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...
