New Companion
My companion grew up in Australia. haha yeah he has an aussie accent
and he calls things funny names like: fries=chips. yes he talks a ton!
haha! i think he is one of those people who feels awkward if it is
quiet. haha! But he is cool. he is really good at teaching. he is
completely fluent in tagalog and knows how to speak ilicano also.
sometimes it is hard to tell what everyone is saying in lessons
because they will switch from tagolog to ilicano then back again.
haha. He has taught me a lot. He came from St. Ana, which is pretty
much the farthest area in our mission. so now he is rediscovering the
niceties of living in the city! haha!
Lost in a New Area
this week was interesting haha! we didn't really go to any of our new
area's yet, except for our new city area's we used to only have a
small area in the city but now we have a really large area and lots of
investigators, recent converts, and less actives in our area. it has
been fun trying to find them! we spent most of the time lost! haha.
Yesterday we had two investigators come to church! One, Henry
Cristobal, has come three times in a row and loves our church! he is
kind of old but he is super humble. he loves having us over and has a
huge desire to follow christ's example! he has been so prepared by
heavenly father. He litterally has no concerns other than the fact
that we might not be able to teach him everything before his baptismal
date! It is true what everyone says we as missionaries really don't
convert people! we are just there to bring the spirit and give the
spirit a chance to bear testimony of the things that we say. I love
being a missionary of the lord, because i get to see the miracles that
the gospel brings to peoples lives, like Bro. Cristobal.
haha! no one here nows about the superbowl except those who have lived
in america.(our bishop and his brother)
they are the only ones who
are going to watch it. they said It is better here because the
superbowl here is on monday so they don't have to skip church or feel
guilty when they watch it. haha!
Johnny i really liked what you shared about Nephi. I just finished 1
Nephi a couple days ago and something that i always love about Nephi
is that he is so free. he is always an agent of himself because he
dosn't give up. he never lets doubts or trials stop him from following
God. I am not sure what chapter but the story where they all break
their bows and nephi breaks his iron bow is one of my favorite
examples of this. imediatly after laman and lemuel begin to complain
and point fingers of acusation. nephi is the only one to not give up.
He does the only logical thing that there was to do. he made another
bow and arrow. then he whent to his father to know where to go. When
faced with a trial or a challenge nephi does all he can then seeks
guidance from the lord.
I also love how Nephi never followed anyone blindly he always seeked
the lord to know for himself of the things his father taught.(not that
he didn't believe his father) He developed his own testimony. opposed
to laman and lemuel, who followed and complained never seeking to
develop thier testimonies or seeking to solve their problems.
well I am out of time! Mahal ko kayo! alam ko po na itong simbahan ay
totoo at mahal na mahal po tayo ng diyos. alam ko po na kailagan
nating palakasin ang pananampalantaya natin, araw araw sa pamamagitan
ng pagsaliksik ng Aklat ni mormon, panalangin, at pagsisimba.
Cool little bridge ;)
This is my comp.

super funny and keeps us all laughing! haha.

pretty! haha but its ok i heard some of the areas we got are
super pretty
