This week was tight. Even though the majority of the week was spent looking for a new apartment because ours isn't exactly passing missionary requirements. The Lord truly blessed us while while we were searching because it was cloudy the whole time and we didn't die of heat stroke.
Something that I would like to share is a thought coming from the Philippines broadcast that we had this last Sunday. Elder Lynn Robbins mentioned the faith that it took to establish the church back in the day. It really makes us think, if we lived in the early times of the church would we be able to endure and keep the faith? Travelling thousands of miles on foot and enduring hate and violence upon you and your family because of your religious beliefs? He then stated that if we are faithful now, we would have been back then. BUT THEN THE QUESTION COMES are we faithful enough and satisfied with where we are on the foundation of our testimonies today? I don't know, just something that I really pondered this week and it really increased my testimony and faith thinking about the hardships that they faced back then being Mormons and outcasts. Well anyways I had a great week this week and I hope you all did too!
We got to visit the new buildings at the Philippines MTC and they are BEAUTIFUL. Super spiritual and great experience, you can truly feel the spirit while walking through the halls and buildings of the place that starts the journey. The happiness lasted up until the 2 hour jeepney ride that really made my buns sore because we had to fit more than 25 people in one small chubby bus. But now it's all good :')
Some pictures from the Philippines broadcast we had on Sunday in which we had the opportunity to hear from some leaders of our church! Kind of like a small General Conference, it was very enjoyable and spiritually edifying.
We were kind of just chilling planning where we would go next by this little river and these kids came up and started chilling with us. Little kids are our best friends here, they know everything.
It started pouring rain and the lighting looked pretty nice to me and Elder Dominguez took a picture here, nothing too spectacular.
This week is transfer week but i'm almost positive i'll be staying in Tondo and Elder Dominguez will be transferring because he's been here for about 6 months now :-| Flip i'm going to miss him SO much though, easily my favorite companion so far.
HAVE AN AMAZING WEEK I LOVE YOU
Elder Burdeos
