3/18/2019. O, bakit ba kailangan pang umalis...

Hey fam

This week was really good. We had our ZTM this week it went really well. We are progressing as a zone, we talked about how we can be focused and fearless as missionaries in the work. We set our goal for 42 baptisms in the month of April, and we all committed to do all we can to hit that goal. Our mission is still going for the 300 baptisms, 300 souls baptized into the true church of Jesus Christ. We talked about a quote given by Mike Ditka " You're either in the parade, or you watch the parade. That's life." As a zone we want to be "in the parade" as we hit these goals. I also applied to life, with everything I do. Sometimes I like to just sit on the side and watch the parade but as I have served on the mission I realize the importance to use the agency god gave us and do what it takes to be apart of the big thing or the goal. If we dont we may look back at our life and regret all the things we missed out on, wish we acted when we didnt. This life is a test and it is a one time thing so we should definitely do what we can to make the most out of it. Set goals and do what you can to hit them, if you dont hit them at least you learned. 

Anyways I love this zone, and the elders in it. We are going to do big things in SJN. Love you all. sorry no pics my usb thingy broke :(

WE THE NORTH 3/11/2019

Hey hope everyone is doing well, just got my trunky letter so ya know... 

Anyways this week was really fun. On Wednesday we had transfers, one of the sisters that was transferring with us wanted to go a different way because she thought it would be cheaper, but we ended up getting lost in Cubao and after a couple hours we made it to SM Tungko and then took a jeep to the chapel. It took forever, but I MADE IT! My new area is called Minuyan ward, it is a lot smaller than the wards in Malolos but the members are so nice. The area is up in the mountains which is cool it reminds me of Park City. Our house is on the top of a mountain over looking the whole zone and it is super pretty, also we have a member that lives downstairs and she cooks for us and is super awesome. The area is pretty big but nothing compared to my last area, there are tons of hills my legs got destroyed this week. We had MLC on Friday and it was really good. President Hughes was sick so he did not talk a lot but he called on missionaries randomly to give workshops and lead discussions. He also told us that we might be getting smart phones soon! We will test them out for the whole Philippines area, I am hoping that happens before I leave smartphones would help us soooooo much! Malolos went back to back (like Jordan '96-97) in leading the mission in baptisms! It was awesome but now it is SJN turn to be the best. The zone is pretty dope, it is all elders except for the STLs which is nice because for the last 6 months I have been in a zone with all sisters. We played basketball this morning and had a fun time, there is an elder that can dunk so now I have someone to throw oops to haha. Anyways I am excited for what this transfer has in store, its gonna be fun. Love you all hope you have a great week!

3/4/2019 TRANSFERS NA

Hey everyone, sorry last week my email was not working so I was not able to email.

So this week is transfer week. At zone interviews president told me that I was going to stay in Malolos for a 5th transfer making it my longest area... also I would have been in Malolos for 10 months. Yesterday we got the calls and president gave me a curve ball. I am transferring to Minuyan ward in San Jose Del Monte North Zone!!!! I will be the zone leader in that zone. I am really excited and still kinda shocked that I am leaving Malolos again and for the last time. I am gonna miss it out here but I am looking forward to getting to know more members of the other wards and the other missionaries in SJN zone. Hopefully Malolos can deliver in March, we were expecting 30 baptisms for March and our mission is going for 300 once again, it was a good run and I had a lot of goods times in Malolos. 

We had 2 baptisms last week, they are two kids that I have been teaching since September and I finally saw them baptized it was awesome!! They even showed up the next day looking pogi as ever in their new ties. We were supposed to have another baptism this week but there was a death in the family so it was pushed back. We got to go to the funeral service held by the ward, it was really cool. I was reminded of the love the god has for each one of us to make a plan where we can come here to earth to learn and grow and then return to him after this life with the people we love and live with them for eternity. I know that plan is real, and death is just part of the plan. Of course this plan would never and could never happen if it were not for the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We may not comprehend how great his sacrifice was but as we do our best to use that sacrifice we can feel the peace and joy that it brings. Death is hard and sad, but if we do our part in this life it is not the end and we dont have to worry. I love this gospel, Gods plan is perfect.

also just a side note... 119 days na lang hahahahaha.

Love you all!!! Ill send all the pics next week
