    Hey ya'll! Honestly, this week was a hard week. But, hindsight is a wonderful thing. I have a couple things that I don't think I would have realized or attributed to God were it not for the struggle! Lets get into the week!     So we started off the week with two exchanges! Which means we as leaders have another companionship come to our area and we show them how we are having success and also to learn from them!! I learned a ton from both of them. They are both great Elders. We were able to teach sister Mardel and find a lot of new friends!!     The rest of the week was super interesting. We tried to do what we usually do and just go to all of our friends in one day, but literally no one was available. We felt like we were getting very little work done. On Saturday we were traveling around the Zone doing baptismal interview's! Which is ( in hindsight ) a blessing. At the time we were worried about not be able to work in our area. But. We are so bl...

     Good morning everyone!! I'll be giving a quick rundown of what happened this past week! Over all a super awesome week. I feel my understanding deepening. Not only of gospel principles, but of the weight, the importance, and the beauty of the knowledge that each member of this church has. I'm truly grateful for my Father in Heaven's plan for me. Okay let's get into the week.      Tuesday we worked and worked. Just good old door knocking. We were able to find a lot of people but one lady stood out. Sister Rachelda. She really understands what we teach her. And she is really willing to ask us questions if she doesn't understand. She's awesome.     Wednesday we were able to teach quite a bit. Fortunately we got to teach one of our boys named Tatay Alexander. He's a stud. He is one of the past vice mayors of the city I'm in. You would think someone so wealthy and already set up in life would be hard to teach in some aspects. Nope! He's truly an od...

    Good morning ya'll!! Or afternoon, evening...... basically whenever you read if, I hope you're doing good . This past week was full of answers to prayers and opportunities of reassessment personally. I'm excited to share a couple highlights with you now!       This week started out with a rough Tuesday morning of pure puntings. Every lesson fell through and our findings were tough as well. We pushed as hard as we could and made the most if it. That afternoon we took a jeepney to Cauayan for MLC. Which is a big council meeting with all of the ZL's and STL's in the mission. We talk about how to help resolve mission wide problems and how best we can serve our stewards. Afterwards we practiced a dance that us zone leaders will be preforming in front of the whole mission.     After we got home pretty late Wednesday night so we just hit the sack right when we got in. One thing that we really applied was finding with faith. If we wanted to find ...

  Another week in the books! The time out here is just flying by. This we was a but of a rough one health wise but hey, it happens once and a while. We took a couple days of rest and where back in the saddle. Let's get into the week!     We were a trio on Monday night and Tuesday with one of the Elders in our Zone. He was having a bit of a tough time enjoying the work and we told him to come work with us. It was a wonderful time. We taught and laughed and worked as missionaries doooo. It was a great to see his attitude change towards the work in just a couple days.     Wednesday we had exchanges, which also were awesome! We worked on focusing on a small neighbourhood in our area and just finding everyone in that area. It worked very well. With the Lords help, we were able to find 17 people in one day! Of course we know that not every one of those will progress, but it was awesome to see the what could happen if we talked to everyone!    ...
