I transfered pala - 15 June 2026

Hello my persons, hope y'all's is wells. Please excuse my grammar I know it's wrong. 

There has been a lot that has happened in this last period of time. Don't ask me how long it has been since I have written an email, cause I really do not know. 

 Hey I'm 19 now lol. So that's chill. 

Anyways, I got transferred down to Aringay about 4 weeks ago and my new comp in Elder DeWitt. He goes home in 2 weeks which is kinda unfortunate because he is in fact a homie. 

Along with that we have had 3 baptisms, now this is legendary. One of them was a former Muslim as well which is lit. Also nanay Leticia got baptized in my old area this last weekend which was sweet. She was a Hindu and I will say it's crazy how dramatic the change is in these people's lives when they except Jesus Christ. It just like takes a weight off their shoulders and brings a joy that is so evident in their countenance. 

My new area is down in the the lowlands pretty close to the beach, we have another companionship in our house which is also lit. On that note we also have a fish tank with a crawfish which is lit. 

 I've done some exchanges with Elder Blaser cause he is now my DL which is lit considering he is also going home this next transfer. There are so many people going home in the next 3 transfers its actually crazy. I don't even know what to think at this point to be honest. 

God lowkey cooked with the Book of Mormon tho. My personal studies have been NICE recently and I also started writing stuff down which lowkey helps me remember the stuff I read and organize my thoughts about things, I do suggest. It is quiet wonderful. 

Anyways, sorry I might be forgetting maraming bagay but there's photos of the other small things in my album so hit that up if you're curious.

Besides that, mission is great, sucks sometimes, is awesome other times. Oh ya side note they rip Ilocano (another language) here which is just dandy. I'm just glad I mostly figured out Tagalog before I got here😭. 

Anyways lublub and have a good week all y'all's.

Well hello there my fellow people, I hope that you are well and the sun has been shining in your life. If not, I hope that I can help provide a little sunshine or smile for you. These past two weeks have been interesting, that's for sure-- I've learned a lot about what I want to become, and what I want my mission to look like.  I had the opportunity to do exchanges with Elder Jessop, he was our formal AP for 10 months and he's in his last few transfers.  This experience was amazing, I have found it hard to explain the things that I learned to Elder Baker and Blaser. The largest thing though that really changed for me is numbers. I think I was just kinda like the rest of everyone around me, I didn’t like them but I "understood" why we have them. Then I had this exchange and I really learned why numbers are there. We had our first DCM since that exchange and this time when I saw the board and our stats I felt motivated, it just made me want to go and work. It's ...

How many rolls is it socially acceptable to take at one time? - 6 Oct 2025

Kumusta po (hello, how are you doing) everyone? Sorry for wala (no) email last week, I was busy and really just didn't feel like writing one by the time that I was able to, so I'll cover what happened in this email. I've had the chance to try some crazy foods while I've been here. Its kinda wild but I've been enjoying it. I've eaten everything from chicken feet to some mango jello cream stuff. I can also say with full confidence that I have tried literally almost every part of the chicken aside from the head and it all tastes the exact same, the only thing that is different is the texture. So you might be a little curious about the title. Basically, the rolls here are the best thing I have ever had (sorry Bella they might top your bread.) These things are amazing. I'm averaging about 16 of them a day and if they served them at breakfast, I would probably be averaging 24 because they are so heavenly-- I don't know what they are putting into those things. ...

Tatays & Tennis - 2 Feb. 2026

Image
Well this was a pretty normal week, we taught our lessons and that was really it. This week was really just pushing forward, we have many people that are so close but just feeling hesitant to accept baptism. So things there are about the same. The one really interesting thing that happened this week is that I got to play tennis for the first time in almost 6 months which was crazy. So very fun, I am now so very bad, but it fs made my day. Ya honestly this week was really just a grind and there's not much else to be said. We're really just trying to work as hard as possible to give opportunities to our friends to feel the spirit. I did have the opportunity to give sister Mary Ann a priesthood blessing, and I will say this was a very unique experience. We went to her house on Saturday to find out that she would not be attending church because she had an operation the next day. A surgeon that comes to the Philippines and does free work as charity was going to remove a gallbladder ...
