8.17.17 MTC Aayo Pamilya!!


Hello people of my family its good to be emailing yall this brisk morning from Provo. I'm glad to say that two weeks from yesterday i will be taking a 12 hour flight to Hong Kong, along with a three hour flight to Manilla. I cant wait to get there and it couldnt come faster I honestly feel like i love the Filipinos already which I dont know how that works lol. But this was a good week we got a lot done and had a lot of cool experiences. We had two more apostles come, M. Russell Ballard on Dominggo and Neil A. Anderson on Tuesday which was so sick. The spirit is so strong when these people come to teach to us and you can tell that their words are directly from our Heavenly Father who needed us to hear those messages as well. So those talks were awesome and we are still teaching our two investigators like every day which can be cool and sometimes not so awesome when the lesson doesnt go so well but its still awesome for that experience. My kauban is pretty much back to normal now after three weeks almost of being sick so thats good, but he got one of our teachers sick so she isnt too happy. I had to say bye to my boy Boren this week which was really sad but I know hes off to doing amazing things in Philly! Ive been hanging with my other boy kolly a lot and I cant believe that he leaves this Tuesday, so crazy! But yea this week was pretty normal other than that, Ive come to realize what prayer really means to me and I hope to use it in a more meaningful way from here on because it is such a great tool that God gives us to get help and strength from him in our times of trial and trials of our faith. My district is good and my boy elder K(our new DL) from the pics is callin me melvin lolllll like from the Madagascar movie i think which idk what to think about that but he drew a pic of me in one of the devos so that was pretty sick lol. He has the whole district calling me smelvin now hahah makes me laugh. Anyway I hope yall have a good week and remember that through prayer anything is possible. The Book of Mormon is awesome! Love you all

press forward in faith

 

So somewhere in these pics is the picture elder k drew of me and elder k. Then we got me looking like a ghost with that on point selfie. Then we got our whole room together holding the Texan Wadsworth. Then we got a pt 2 selfie in the mirror with most my district.
