Hello ang aking mga kaibigan, how is it hanging? Hopefully you all had a great week! Elder Vinas and I had an amazing week. We spent tons of time in our new area which was a good feeling. We’re finally getting settled in and adjusting well. It can be pretty difficult at times when we feel like we’ve been walking all day and haven’t had much success in regards to lessons taught but the more we get punted from lesson to lesson, the more we start to treasure each and every lesson that doesn’t fall through.
We’ve focused on trying to visit members to help us meet those in our ward and get more familiar with our area. Our ward directory has been letting us down a little as a large portion of the members have moved out but we did have a good experience come from it. We wandered to a location on the ward directory that was supposedly supposed to be a household of a member but upon arriving it ended up being a public computer shop. We asked with the worker of the computer shop if we were at the correct address and he said it was the correct address but the family must have moved out a while ago. We were a little disappointed but we used that conversation as an opportunity to start getting to know the worker at the computer shop and before we knew it we were teaching him about the restoration. It just goes to show that sometimes our intentions aren’t quite aligned with God’s will but it will always work out.
We had our zone meeting on Thursday and it was super useful in announcing the new ideas that we were hoping to implement in our zone. These missionaries are super hard working i’m blessed to be serving in the atmosphere that they provide here.

1- The dream team
2- Transfer day I was assigned to help people weigh their luggage before transferring to Palawan. It was a lot more fun then it sounds.
3- Elder Stowers, a good friend of mine, finished his mission this transfer. He will be dearly missed.
4- One of our first days in the ward we were able to do a community service project with them for the National Day of Service here. It was a good opportunity to get to build relationships with them.
5- For the service we cleaned and repainted some classrooms at a local elementary school before the kids come back to class in a few couple of months. These are the Sister Training Leaders in our zone and we share our wards with them.
6- We had a family home evening at a home of a few members.
7- We attended district meeting in the Santa Mesa District this week, they are a solid hard-working district.
8 & 9- Pictures taken after our zone meeting. We are the Manila/Mandaluyong Zone or otherwise known as the MAMA ZONE!
I love being a missionary.
I also love you guys, thanks for the love and support! Have a good week!!
