Mount Balagbag and Mga Binyag 6/17/2018

This week was a very very awesome week! First of all on Sunday it was Fathers Day, shout out to all the fathers out there!!! Also shout out to my dad, he is hardworking and puts the family first before himself, he is a great example for me and is a big reason why I chose to serve a mission Magaling Ang tatay ko. Also on Saturday we had 2 baptisms! Erle Ongsiako and Marc Stephen, they are both really awesome and I was way happy to see them be baptized, they will both be great additions to the church. It was really cool to be able to see them go through all the lessons and come to church and see their families start coming to church again and regain a testimony. Great experience.

This week was another rainy one. It gets really humid here to the point where my towel was wet for like 5 days and my bed sheets were wet so I had to sleep on a foam pad for a couple nights. The socks I washed two weeks ago just dried! Gratefully on Saturday the rain stopped and the sky cleared up it was a miracle because it was just in time for the baptism so people came and showed up on time. We pretty much focused on our part members this week and went to Erle and Marc everyday to make sure they were prepared and ready. Marc Salaverez is scheduled for the 30th and I am hoping that I dont get transferred so i will get to witness that baptism. It was a good week for work. 

Earlier today we went on a hike. It is Elder Richards and Meyers last P day today so because Elder Meyer is an AP he somehow got it ok'd and we went. We hiked Mount Balagbag it is San Jose Del Monte zone so it was like a 45 minute drive and it was up this really pretty mountain. It smelled so good and the mountain reminded me of camping it was awesome. Our mission is pretty small, there are tons of people but the area itself is tiny. its like the size of Davis County haha so we go on this hike and we take a trike up one of the hills, somehow we got up the driver just put it in low gear and cranked it back hahaha, but we made it up and there was a small village and a small basketball hoop so we played a little ball and then walked the rest of the hike. The top was sooooo pretty, my camera could not capture the beauty of it....by the way this computer wont let me download the pics so next week na lang. Anyways on the top you could see our entire mission, I could see Malolos and my first area haha, you could see Manila and Quezon city and the ocean as well....I never realized how many buildings are in Manila it was crazy. It was an awesome experience and it was like the first time I have done something like that since I have been out. 

I am really enjoying my mission, it seems to get funner and better each day. Remember though as members of this church we are all missionaries, you don't need a name tag to be a missionary. There are sooooo many people in this world who have no idea about the plan of salvation or the atonement and its importance. I encourage you to share the gospel to those people who dont know. Help them gain this knowledge and happiness, it might seem hard but it is worth it and it will help them more than anything else in the world. Love you all and hope you have a great week!
