     Hey everyone! First of all Merry Christmas!! What the what how is it Christmas?! At least it is for me. It's still Christmas eve for ya'll haha. It definitely isn't the same feeling of a  Christmas surrounded by family and friends. Buuuuut when I think about what I'm really doing out here, trying to give people the best gift ever!! It's aight with me. Anyways let's get into the week! (This one's a bit long so if you just wanna see the pictures, just wait for the other Emails)    Tuesday was a bit of a slower day since I have a new companion. I showed him around our area and we stopped by a few members houses. We mixed in some finding during the day which was nice. We ended up teaching this tatay named jaunito tawasan. He's is someone we call "an ancient".  I think he's like 88 or something like that. He was awesome though. One crazy thing was though, when we were teaching him about Joseph Smith, he told us what happened in the Sacre...

   What's up everyoooone! I hope the Christmas season is going well for all of you! It definitely is one of the best times of the year. I challenge everyone to find someone to serve. Even if it's something as simple as shoveling their driveway. We all know how good it's feels when we look outside of ourselves. This Christmas season is the perfect time to be an embassador of Christ and serve as He would!  Aight let me get into how this week went!     Alright alright today we're gonna start of with something a little more exciting. It happened last pday evening. We were at a members house for dinner, which was so good! After dinner we were just sitting and talking for a bit and I was just playing around with their dog  ( which was an "American Bully" ). After about 20 minutes I got this impression that was like, " justin this dog could mess you uuuuup! You probably shouldn't be playing with it " and also note that playing with dogs and cats is agai...

      Yooooo what's up ya'll?!? I can't believe Christmas is almost here what the what?! So wild for real. Christmas is for sure my favorite time of the year. It'll be kinda interesting this year with no sugar bowl, no snow, and palm trees instead of Pine trees haha aight sorry let's get into my week.         Tuesday was a big preparation day for our Christmas Zone Conference. We showed up at the church at 10:30am and decorated for most of the day. We put up streamers, painted little trees white, made little fake presents, and hung Christmas lights. We ended leaving the the stake center at 10pm. But just before we left I was sitting by the doors and got talking to one of the kids that was leaving from a seminary class. He told me, he wasn't a member but he loves going to seminary. We got talking about his life and then all of a sudden he asked how he could become a missionary! It was out of no where! I explained about how to start his covenan...

Anyways about this week! It was a solid week! Lots of awesome stuff! Let's get into it. (This one's a long one, my bad)         Tuesday was a super solid day! It started off with my daily workout in the morning and then at 9 we walked to one of our farthest areas to find! My companion said there aren't very many houses since it's a super rural area but I said we should go anyways since he's never even gone there hahaha. Once we got there we walked down superrrrr long dirt road until we got to some little houses on the edge of a corn field. There were 5 tatays (older guys) chillin on the porch and they said we could come talk! We shared a little about the church and a few of our basic beliefs and gave them a few pamphlets! We got all of their names which was supe...
