10.17.17 Siquirjor

Helloooo family primero (first), pasilo para wala (why there was no) email last week we had ten minutes to email because the Mission president was on our island for the first time! He came to interview us and that was awesome and then then came on an island tour with us. They took us out to lunch and their was like five pounds of rice left on the table and i bet Elder Ranon that i could finish it and he would have to do my laba. ahhah president's daughter took a video and got me eating the last bite which was really funny hahah. But things are good here we got some good investigators and just overall good people here and it makes me so happy! It was kind of disappointing when we had no investigators to sacrament on sunday but we are putting in work as hard as we can. Tomorrow is transfer day and elder hansen is gone im sad, but elder cox is staying and so are me and elder ranon so we good. Ahaha lots of fun stuff happening here and all good stuff. its raining here so hard right now but im still holding back my sweat! I got to lead our area again last weeek and we had a competition to see who could get more investigators in one day and we got 11! but they got 12 so we had to buy them buco halo( the best desert diri). Ill throw some pics up for yall to see hopefully but i love you all so much and if you ever forget your purpose in life, always look back to Christ and try to follow his words and life, I love him so much. Have a good week! press forward in faith

 

Lots of pics here hopefully you can figure out whats going on because i dont know.

10.3.17 Update

Some sad news from Parker - he indicated last week that he can no longer "chat" via email.  That he will be able to send out emails once a week, but not write back and forth live via email.  He indicated it was a mission rule.  It broke my heart but was so proud of him being so obedient! 

10.3.17 Siquijor

Hello yalll good week here shempree!!!! Lots of stuff going on. we trying to get our investigators to progess which is hard but i think some of them are coming around. Yesterday was my boy Elder Ranon's 20th birthday and his last one on the mish so we had a huge party/fhe for him last night and that was awesome because we didnt have to cook or do dishes! haha jokes i love doing those things and we did a lot of study on the beach this week so that was chill. Im learning a lot here and i hope i can retain it all and i cant wait for general conference this weekend! Seriously looking forward to it and today there is a festival in Siquijor so basically we just walk around to different houses and eath all their food. Im so grateful for Jesus Christ, his sacrifice, his life and everything about him. Love you all and never forget to press forward in faith, especially faith in christ.

 

This week we just got some deeeeep pics on the beach so much meaning behind them. Yup im walking on water and special S/O to Lindy and Raffie for this amazing camera that somehow makes me look half gwapo;) Actually no pics sorry the internet is bad!
