Elder Hunter Munk: Bye Bye Malls 2/20/2018

Well well well, oh how the time flies. It is funny how the good times always seem to fly by. I am transferring back to the city..... sobrong pangit yung city talaga, grabe. Anyways I am really going to miss it here in Malolos. I am going to miss the open rice fields and the mountains and the long jeepney rides and of course the people I have met and the zone that we had. This has been the best time I have had on my mission by far, I loved it here. Elder Basa will no longer be my companion and he is staying in malolos to train. He is awesome I will miss him for sure. We have some baptisms coming up in March and a wedding for our investigators next week, I wont be able to see but I am happy they will be baptized and become members of this church. We had a great run together and hopefully he can continue that success.

My new area is going to be really fun...! It is in the Camarin Zone in the Bagong SIlang Ward. This is the most populous area in the entire country. It is considered the "ghetto" of the whole mission sooooo yeah its gonna be wild. Back to pollution and dog poop everywhere. Hopefully we can get that ward baptizing again and build up the area. My new comp is gonna be Elder David he is pinoy and he is only a transfer ahead of me in the mission. I am a little bit dissapointed that I am going back to the city but I know that there is a reason I need to be there with Elder David, hopefully I can find that reason before I leave again.

This week was a really great week. We finally got one of our investigators to church and he had a really good time. We had a big stake conference to re-organize the stake here. Elder Bowen of the 70 was there and he gave a great talk about the sacrifice and atonement of Jesus Christ. One thing he said that was really cool was that no man could kill Jesus, he was the son of God and no man could kill him. It says in the scriptures "he gave up the ghost" Elder Bowen said that he was not going to die from the efforts of the evil men, he died when he knew the atonement was done and he died or, gave up his ghost, when he knew it was time. It was pretty cool and deep I did not really know that before. The entire talk was in english obviously and not alot of people could really understand him so it was funny to look around and see people sleeping and not really paying attention but hopefully the spirit carried the message into their hearts. Monday we said goodbye to sister Barrie and Va'atuitui becuase they are going home, we all went to Robinsons to eat and it was pretty good. Yeah so that was my week, The second I get a cord that works I will send a ton of pictures I promise. I love you all! I miss you all as well! Goodluck with everything this week hope its a great week. Remember, if you are committed you will learn from every mistake and you will learn from every dissapointment. Even your fears will make you stronger.

Thats all i got for ya today. Love you very big
