My life is so good and I
cant explain how and why it is so good. I love being a missionary and I
love talking with people in Tagalog and Hilikano and I love sharing this
message that we hold as members of this Church. The happiness i feel as
a missionary of God is real and true. To be able to wake up and feel
happiness and also go to sleep and feel happinesss is such a big
blessing. Of course there are times where i struggle and I am
firusturated or sad but the best part about it is that I can pray and
literally everytime I am sad and then I pray, i feel happiness right
away and I know that is because Jesus Christ died for me and not just
for my sins but for everysingle expieriance and feelings that i have
felt and will every feel. This Gospel is the Gospel of Jesus Christ and
every ear will hear this message and I hope that when people get the
chance to listen to the Missionaries that their heart is open because I
know that if the have an open heart and an open mind to this message
then they will come to know for themselves of the truthfulness of this
Church and then their life will change for the better and they will feel
true happiness everyday and they will feel closer to their heavenly
father and they will no of a surety that they are a child of God and he
has a plan for them. This Gospel is a amazing and I love being a
missionary for the Lord. This is the biggest and best responsibility
that I will ever have in my life i think:)
So we got transfer calls this week
and I was really hoping that I wouldnt recieve a call but I am and I
did! I am transfering out of Santa Teressita and I will be going to
CLaveria and I will be opening a new area! President called me on friday
and told me that i was transfered and then he asked me of I am ready to
open up a brand new area and of course i said i was ready haha. I am
really excfited and I will be the District Leader down there and my new
companion is Elder A:) he is an american and he is still super new. I
think this is his second area and he just got finished being trained so
he is only 12 weeks in the Philippines. I am really excited because I
know i have a bunch of work ahead of me and I know that the Lord wants
me here in Claveria. I actually have a chapel again though which is cool
but the only thing is that my area is pretty far away from the chapel
but its all good because faith brings miralces:)
I sent a lot of pictures to you so
you can see what has happened over the last week! TY got
baptized on saturday and he is the man who has been taught for many
years by a bunch of missionaries and we were just the ones to finally
see him be baptised. It was pretty difficult to teach him at first but
then with a couple good lessons with the Spirit, he desired to be
baptised and come to church. I paid for his fix in his motor because he
had no other way to go to church but the thing is that not that is motor
is fixed , he is taking other people to church now too so thats super
sick. Also i just paid for a wedding for out coule ivestigaotrs here and
I have a picture with them so you will see them but they will be
getting baptised in a couple weeks so we are super excited.
Elder V will be trainging and so he is way
pumped and i am too because Elder V is such a G and is a great
missionary for sure and he will train great. HIs companion is super
lucky though because he is about to have like 10 baptisms here in the
next month so he will really enjoy that, i am really excited for Elder V he is a great companion.
LIfe is great and I get to go work with Elder T tonight for just tonight because i will be sleeping at his
apartment, so i am excitecd for that for sure haha.
I
dont really know what to say except i got a good haircut today by a
bunch of gays that dress literally like woman and they try to have women
body parts and they called me handsome and perfect like 100 times haha
but for real even though they are cross dressers and it freaks me out,
bottom line is that they give good haircuts and thats why i was there
haha.
I hope you enjoy the pictures and I love you all so
very much and I am grateful for the Family that I have. I will proabably
have a bunch of news next week, sorry for the pangit email!
