 Not going to lie yall the last 2 weeks were a ride. I hope yall are having a great time though. Crazy its already September, Chirstmas time now! 


Last week of the Cycle. Had a great time in Calamba and ended it off with 2 more Baptisms which was fun. Such a fun week fr. I taught in English for the first time to Brother Wayne. Hes a Philipino that grew up in Cali and moved back here for school. He also came to church. Also the Hunos Family that got Baptised, Mark the Father received the Preisthood and We received a text from Erna that she made it to church in Hong Kong!


Yeah so I got Transferred again. Im now Here in Los Baños. This is my 7th Area. Its still pretty close to Calamba which is nice. My Companion is Elder Apanitan. He was my Zone Leader a little while back and has been a missionary I've looked up to ever since. Im really excited for this opportunity to work with him. Im also killing him off. This is his last cycle. We had a great 1st week here, met a ton of great people and the ward is great. Also had another Baptism in Calamba which was dope.


I just wanted to share a quick thought I had lately. It hit me that I just hit a year as a missionary, and to be honest, I felt like I haven't accomplished as much as I should have. Reflecting on the past year, I couldn't help but think about what I could've done better. It's easy to get caught up in self-doubt, and I definitely struggled with that. And when I read in James that "faith without works is dead," I felt like I was falling short. But after some prayer and reflection, I had one of the most profound spiritual moments of my life. I realized how my motives have shifted, how some of my deepest scars have begun to heal, and how the Lord has been transforming me in ways I never would've seen. It's amazing to see how He's preparing me for something greater, day by day. It's a great reminder that it's not just about always having big wins, home runs in life, but by small and simple things, Greater things will come to pass.


I love yall! Feel free to shoot and email my way lol. Pics V

Hey Everyone... its official been a month since I've sent an Email hahaha. Officially December and it's now 15 Months as a Missionary! Hopefully this Email makes up for the last month. Been a fun filled month tbh. Full of miricales and blessings everyday. Since my last Email a new cycle has started, I got a new Companion, and we've had MLC. My last 2 weeks with Elder Haymore was a blast. We just put our head down and worked, helped all our friends build faith and get to church. Also had MLC with all the DLs. Also said goodbye to a close friend Elder Pogai, ended his 2 years. Our last sunday together we ended with the Baptism of Sister Marilyn Domanais. We had Transfer call on the 23rd and for the first time since March I didn't get Transferred!! I get to stay in this wonderful area of Gumaca for 6 more weeks. Felt so nice not having to pack everything again. I also cooked adobo for the Elders while we watched the call. I did get a new Companion, Elder Castillo. He's...

 Hey everyone! Im still alive. Feels like forever ago since I've sent a email. A long 2 weeks I guess. A ton of stuff has actually happened, been a great time.  We finally were able to take the Sacrament last week. My spirit was feeling weak with 2 weeks of no Sacrament. Also got to go on Exchanges with our DL in his area Malinao. One of the most if not Prettiest areas in the whole mission. I went with Elder Ellorin. We taught a whole bunch of Nanay's all day, super fun time. Great Elder. He tried to teach me how to cook chicken adobo, he ended up having to do it all haha. Also Halloween happened. They celebrate the day of the dead here so everyone was drunk, talking to their loved one's. This week, Basically the whole Philippines got hit by a Typhoon. It didn't hit us very bad but we did have to evacuate to Lucena which is about 3 hours from Gumaca. We had a meeting with President and the Ap's Friday telling us to pack and be ready to evacuate. Saturday before the ...

  Yo what up fam and friend's!! Hope all is well! I can't believe it's almost June. This last year has probably been the fastest year of my life. This time last year I was graduating High School. Weird. Anyways, Last Monday was way chill we just stayed at the house and slept. We were going to play basketball but didn't. We went to Bishop's house that night for Dinner. His son just left on a mission (Elder Dimaano) to England. We taught a beautiful lesson to them. Related with them with my fam in another country lol. (Bishop Dimaano) Tuesday we had exchanges with the ZL's. I got to go with Elder Keeler the GOAT! His uncle was my Bishop for a while back home so it's a little fun connection we have.  Exchanges was fr a nice change of pace, he lead most of it so I could relax a little. He is very good at bringing the spirit into lessons and making people feel loved. (Elder Keeler) Wednesday we had Zone Confrence. It was a little different this time because Presi...
