Hey everyone! Today's email is going to be a little different. It'll be more highlight style!  Highlights We had Zone interviews!  Zone Conference as well!  We extended baptism to Brother Harvey  We biked 13 km one day this week  Got to present Linking Arms to all of the Branch Presidents! So many friends came to church! Unfortunately we weren't able to get a picture with all of them but we love them so so much      It was a pretty action packed week which I'm very grateful for. I did get a bit sick though which was unfortunate. The work pressed on though. We are so blessed in our area. We really try to implement everything thing we are taught by our mission president. He truly is called of God. He's also such a joker. We love President Cobing.      I do want to share one miracle that we saw as a companionship this past week. In Zone Conference, President Cobing challeneged us to choose 10 streets as a companions...

What a week everyone!! I was basically in Manila for the whole week so I'll just link some pictures!! Love ya'll!

  Oy, Kamusta kayo!? Magandang hapon sa lahat! Sana naging maganda ang araw nyo ngayon! I hope your guys week went well and you were able to se the Lords hand in it. This was a learning week for me. Which I'm very grateful for. I'm grateful for the spiritual environment I'm in. It provides situations for me to grow in the Lord. Lets get into this week!    Tuesday        Over all this past week was a filtering week for us. Less on finding and more on seeing where each of our friends are in their progress. To be honest, sometimes I get annoyed when people don't keep simple promises. Is it that hard to read 1 verse of scripture a day? Sometimes, that proves to be the case due to the multifarious concerns of each person. Tuesday was a day of filtering through these concerns. We have a friend named Mario. I love and see his desire to find the answers to his questions, but unfortunately, he isn't willing to do the work. I do appreciate the fact though, ...

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! I truly hope that this holiday season has been a time of rest and spiritual re-focusing. This past few weeks were great! A little slow due to the lack of appointments but we got good work done. If any one needs anything they want to update me on, just shoot me an email!       Last last week was of course Christmas. It was interesting. It was good for sure! I just find myself thinking if its true when others say that Christmas on the mission is special. I think I was a different kind of special for me. I realized how impactful small but intentional service can be during the holiday season.     I also saw how much I really love my family. Each one of them has a special place in my heart. It might sound cliché but that is the best way I can describe it. These special places have always been there. Throughout this Christmas season, I have felt gratitude for the amazing brothers and sisters that Heavenly...
