Sowing Seeds In San Pablo

This week was low-key so long ngl. Wassup tho yall! Another week & Another cycle somehow. We figure out our transfer news later tonight. This cycle has been super fast and mad fun too. I feel like I learned a lot more Tagalog this cycle which feels really nice. The odds of getting another Polynesian is slimming but still not impossible 🤣😅. Here some highlights tho. We went out in the morning on Monday and had 5 teachings in 3 hours which was really fun. Then that night we went to the beach and it was really pretty. First time seeing the ocean this cycle too. As we were teaching and I was listening, Tagalog came to me like it was english. It was so cool and such a blessing fr. This week has kinda been tuff because its the last week of the cycle but we still got out everyday. Big W. We had 9 teachings Thursday which was surprising cause it didn't feel like it lol. We also extended to 2 different families and they said they'd think and pray about it so we keep praying too. A...

 What up gang! Hope all is well. We got one more full week of this cycle, its flying by fr. But here are some highlights from this last week! Finally got to play basketball again which was a dub. I have no idea if im getting better or not, but I was cooking these kids here and the Elders. I still haven't bought shoes yet but I will eventually. This week has been kinda hard because my comp E. Tuiatua had to go to Manila for visa stuff so I was with the other Elders for the day. And E. Tuiatua got sick and hurt his foot so it was just slow. But we still had an amazing week and found many of the elect with the time we had. I restarted the BOM as I study D&C too. I want a better understanding of the stories and teachings in it. Pres. talked to me about having Seership as I read. Imagining myself in the story and finding the deeper understandings of each verse in every chapter. Its been really helpful so far and I encourage you all to give it a try. We also saw Grimmace at McDonalds...

 Another week in the books. Wassup yall! This week was a longer one for sure, but still full of great miracles. Last Monday we went to this big statue of Jesus on a hill called Kamay ni Hesus. It was really cool. Tuesday we had Zone Con which was dope. Always nice to see all the friends again. Something I really liked from this Zone Con was the topic of being "Spiritual Mature." It was Sister Scholl my Mission Presidents wife topic. Become Spiritual Mature I think is something we should all strive to have and continue to grow and live in our day to day lives. We've been really sick this last week which really sucks. But it's all okay when you think in a eternal perspective and remember God does have a plan for us. Even with being sick we still were able to go out and teach. And see more of the little blessings in our lives. Spiritual Thought: Prayer I have really grown to love the thought and power of prayer while I have been on my mission and has become one of my fav...

Happy New Year yall! 2025 now is crazy. Hope yall had a great new year. Here were some highlights of my week. Monday I ate so much food.  Tuesday I pooped all of that food out 🤣. It was a rough day for sure. I woke up 3 times in the night with straight diarrhea. I didn't work much this day. I ended up pooping 10 times and yes I counted. New years was fun. Here in the Philippines they just make a ton of noise not really just fireworks. These motorcycles drove by and revved really loud. Wednesday and Thursday I went on exchanges with Elder Santos ho is my Kabahay (housemate). He's on his first cycle and only speaks tagalog so it was a fun 2 days. We were still able to get a lot of teachings in. Friday we finally killed the rat in our house. We trapped inside the bathroom and then mashed it with a bat lol. Saturday wasn't a lot of work. We had an FHE which is always a lot of fun. Then we went to a members and they feed us and we watched The Chosen.  Sunday we had our first ba...
