Aywan ko o ewan ko? Pareho ito! (Do I owe it or not? It's both!)

Happy Mother's Day! This was a disagreement my companion and I had this week but we found out that we were both right. That was nice to hear that I am starting to be able to recognize words I don't even know yet. I know the word now though thanks to this. I say a disagreement because while we can't agree on everything, we both try to stay civil and we try not to argue. It really helps for us to listen to each other's position so maybe we can find a compromise. 

Anyway, my week has been great! It's been raining a lot here in Pasuquin and some of the people we are teaching have really been engaged in our lessons. I was able to talk to my Mom yesterday which was so fun! The members are always so willing to help us with food or lessons and many other things! They really are trying to be representatives of Christ in all they do. It really is amazing to me the people that just come up to talk to us. We were eating the other day and were about to leave when this guys motioned for us to come over and talk with him. We looked at each other then went over. He proceeded to say how he wants to change and he is willing to listen to us. We ended up setting up an appointment for this next week. Stuff like that happens to us a lot. Some of it ends up not being what we want but sometimes some good comes of it. Elder Dagulo danced before the mission so when some of the youth needed help with their dance, he was able to help them out. We have Zone Conference this week and I'm excited to listen to the council of my Mission President. I 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...
