Kumusta! I hope that everyone is doing good!
This week was a pretty long hard week.
Friday we had a mission tour and Neil Anderson of the 12 spoke to the Quezon City mission and the Quezon City North mission. The church we went to was huge and there was like 300 missionaries there. I got to see Elder St. John, he is doing great. It was a great experience and i was able to see and meet a ton of missionaries in my mission. Later we did a lot of work with the zone leaders trying to find less actives, my zone leaders are really cool and they know how to work hard. There are a ton of cockroaches in our apartment so when we are bored we catch them and burn them, its awesome. Oh yeah and one of the zone leader loves to kick cats, and its pretty funny when he does. The area I am in has this huge market with fresh meat and fish, it smells so extremely bad. I sweat 24/7 and i am kind of used to it by know, its not that it is hot but the humidity is crazy so you sweat a lot. The weather is crazy as well one day it is sunny and another day it rains and floods.
On saturday I got my first baptism. I baptized Carl De Vera, he is a 12 year old and he pretty much is the only active member in his family. It was the coolest experience ever. We had to make the program and set it all up because sometimes our ward leaders do not really help. We have a couple progressing investigators but right now we are focused mainly on the less active and cleaning up the ward list. There are 500 people on the ward list but only like 100 people are active. Tagalog is hard but it is slowly coming, the food is whack as ever, the smells here are interesting, but every day i grow a little but more and love the people a little bit more, before I know it I will be a filipino haha. I encourage everyone to read the book of mormon every single day, it is an amazing book, it helps me and i know it will help you. if you have not read for a while take it and read a couple pages a day, i promise it will help. Love you all! Also i have a lot of pictures coming next week.
