The Island Life #WeMadeIt

HELLO ANG MINAMAHAL KONG MGA KAKILALA

This week simply put was just amazing.  Lots of stuff to keep us busy and I really enjoyed it.

Thursday we had our MLC and once again we were able to meet with the Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders and counseled on what we can do to better minister to the needs of our stewardships.  It was enlightening and I'm looking forward to the next time we will have that opportunity.

Something that you should probably know is that the whole mission is aware that I am the only missionary this old in the mission who has never been assigned on Palawan which is our island here.  Well this week President Fermanis being the holy man that he is was prompted to take us down to Palawan with him to check up on the missionaries and build trust with the members and leaders in the southern part of the island.  SO HA HA take that h8ers hahaha.  

But in all seriousness it was an awesome experience and we were able to work with some missionaries in an area called Quezon which is the highest baptizing area in the mission.  After being able to work there for a couple of days I have no questions as to why that is.  The people there are ready to receive the missionaries and the wonderful message that they bring.  It's crazy how different it is from Manila!  I felt like I was in a completely different world.  It was a successful trip and we were able to get a lot done.  I had some pretty incredible conversations with President Fermanis during the drives to each area which were hours at a time.  He's really is the man.

This week we will be having our Zone Conference here in the Mainland.  I'm pretty nervous with the fact that I'll be teaching and providing some individual instruction for the missionaries but I'm also very excited to be enlightened and learn what God would have us learn at this time as a mission.

Thanks for all the love and the support I love you guys tons!!  Talk to you next week!!
