Forget Myself and Work - April 11, 2016 - Week 76

This week we had the opportunity to listen to General Conference. It was amazing as always. Elder Hollands talk really hit home for me. I like when he said that if we have a TRUE DESIRE to be better and to follow our Savior Jesus Christ we will receive blessings from our Heavenly Father. We don't need to perfect we just need to continue to have a desire to be better and then through the Atonement we will obtain the blessings and love our Heavenly Father desires for us. I truly know without a doubt that we have a loving Father in Heaven and he wants the very best for each and everyone of us. Love yall and have a great week!!

Another Week in Paradise - April 4, 2016 - Week 75

Ight so this week was awesome. The highlights of this week were (1)We did something that has never been done in the mission ever. We had a SUPER MLC. So all the DLs, ZLs and STLs in the whole mission went to Iloilo for two days and just talked about different things we can do to improve the mission. And how to better help our missionaries in our designated areas. (2)We had 4 investigators at church this week. (3)We have 10 progressing investigators with baptismal dates. (4)The work is good! (5)We went to Iloilo this morning. We played sports and just hung out. I got to chill with Larson and Swanton. Its always a good time with those guys.

So that about covers the highlights and my week. I am still trying to figure out the food situation. I've only been here about two weeks now and iv'e already lost quite a bit of weight. But we will figure things out. :) 

Hope yall have a great and eventful week. Love and miss yall.
