Sowing Seeds In San Pablo

 Lopez is Crazy! Whats up everyone! How's it going? Hope its well. Been a pretty eventful 2 weeks here in Lopez.    Last week was the start of the Cycle. I'm now in my 8th area in 13 months. Been around basically the whole mission. Gumaca the area im in is amazing. We only had 2 whole days of work in our area last week with transfers and MLC so we just went around and got to know our teaching pool and did some finding.   As we were finding this Grandma came up to us and said she wanted to be taught with her family. They reffered themselves it was awesome. We also came into this area with another family referral from a member. Started the cycle off strong until we got hit by a typhoon and church got cancelled.    This week was way fun. Got to go on Exchanges with Elder Kaiser and Elder Moleli. Elder Kaiser was my Zone Leader my 4th cycle so its weird being his Zone Leader, but we are close so it's awesome. We had a great time, he's really good at teaching an...

    Hey everyone, hope all is well. Have had a pretty fun last 2 weeks    2 weeks ago was Elder Apanitans last week as a missionary. Which was crazy to both of us becuase about 7 months we were both in Lucena together. It was a fun last week together. We had Lipa Zone Conference on Tuesday, finally finished with travelling this cycle. We didnt get a lot of work in our area this week becuase we also had exchanges on Friday. Did half the day in our dls area then came back to Los Baños for our baptism interview. The Caintic Family got baptized on sunday. It was fun to see their growth this cycle, they've been on date for about 6 months now.  Elder Apanitan left me last monday and I temporary transferred area's for a week. Got Transferred to Calamba 3rd branch with Elder Galam. Hes a great Elder and it was fun to be and teach with him this week. Found a lot of new great people to this week.    We had real transfers yesterday and... I transferred again. Im ...

 Hey everyone! Sorry forgot to write this last week... but the last 3 weeks have been a great time. It also flew by.     Soo 3 weeks ago was a good week. I was kinda sick at the start of the week, spent some hours on the toilet, but it all came out eventually. On the 10th we had cycle Interviews with Pres. I asked for some advice and he told me, "Don't Hide Your Potential."      Some wise words from a wise man. Discovering our potential is key to unlocking our path forward. I came to that realisation this week. It's not always easy, as self-doubt and insecurity can block our way as satan doesn'twant that for us, but once we notice it and put effort into it, it's exciting to see where our newfound understanding will take us.      Since the start of this cycle with Elder Apanitan, I've been super excited to be his companion, because his perspective on missionary work is incredible. One of the smartest missionaries in our mission.     ...

 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 ...

 Hey everyone, hows it going? Hope you are all doing good. Its been crazy work out here in Calamba the last 2 weeks. Crazy miracles happening here everyday. Such a great time. Hope yall are having fun with School haha. Anyways its been a fun time here in Calamba. These last 2 p-days were went to a massive mall here and went ice skating & bowling. I don't remember the last time I went ice skating but I still got it. Also bowled a 133 if anyone was wondering. We also had Zone Conference this week. The last 2 weeks have been a great time. The work here in Calamba is amazing becuase of the members. The members here are so willing to help and Fellowship with us. They just make the work so much easier and way more fun. Recently has just been a ton of work, putting the head down and grinding out. A little miracle I want to share is this family.  The Hunos Family  Being apart of this Familes journey has been life changing. From first meeting them to helping them be baptized. ...

  Yoo, what up guys!! Hope you had an amazing 2 weeks. Elder Anderson and I have been feasting out here in Calamba. We've officially been here for 3 weeks now and have seen straight miracles. It's been a great time, Elder Anderson and I get along really well so its been lit.  2 weeks ago was really chill, finally got settled into the area and figured it out. Went out and just got to work. One of our places here in Calamba is still flooded so they got these little bridges its pretty cool. This last week Elder Anderson had an ingrown toenail so we went to the Hospital and got that fixed and the work was a little slower this week, but we still managed. We found a ton of success this week working with members and through them. Had 9 of our Friend's come to church because of it. This week should be really good. We want to extend baptism invitations to a couple of people. Hopefully they accept. That's all for now!  Love you guys! Pics.  V  https://photos.app.goo.gl/vr...

 So I decided, I'm going to write a email every other week, that way its a little more exciting and interesting to read. And then I forgot to send this last week. Sorry mom...  But this one will be good. I got to go on Exchanges with the GOAT Elder Vuki, in my old area Pagbilao. It was a great time to see some old members and work with them. Elder Vuki is on his first cycle and lowkey his tagalog is better than mines. He's dumb smart. He's from New Zealand. I got this Poly curse I swear haha. (Elder Vuki) For P-Day we went on this little hike to these falls in Majayjay. It was dope. I love the Nature part of the Philippines for real. It makes me realize of God's Beautiful creation for us and how detailed everything is. Also made some cool rock cairns. (Taytay Falls) Last week was not a very good week to be honest. I woke up Tuesday with Nasal Problems, I thought it was going to be fine but just got worse. Wednesday I woke up like that again, but as the day went on my th...
