Being responsible is a good thing Hello everybody, maopay na kulop. This week we got to go to Tacloban for a mission tour because Elder Choi of the Seventy came to visit. It was cool to get some instruction from him and learn some new things.  We went to a fireside after with this other stake nearby and Elder Choi asked the members who is the most handsome Elder (we were all on the stands in the front) and some young man picked someone. Then he asked the members who is the most beautiful sister. Then of course, a little girl stood up and said the second one on the right. Hold up, wait a minute, I was the second on the right... Everyone thought it was hilarious, and Elder Choi still had me stand up haha. Then he asked the little girl why she thought I was the handsomest or prettiest or whatever I am, and she said quote, "because he's white". Dang. Personality, appearance, my smile, in the trashcan.  Also some of my favorite people are going home this cycle which is really ...

Maopay na kulop mga tao! Damo na salamat sa birthday wishes ninyo! (Thank you for everyone's birthday wishes) it was a really good day. We got to go to church and then eat at a members house, then go to church again at a special sacrament meeting in a farther away area. I even had the privilege of being a speaker. I talked about the sacrament, especially the sacrament with the Nephites in the Americas. I like how Christ says when we take the sacrament it shows Him that we are willing to always remember Him, and do what he has commanded us. Then He says if you will always remember Me, you will always have My spirit to be with you. That's an amazing blessing! The 3rd member of the Godhead, the Holy Ghost. If we always have the Holy Spirit with us we will be able to do all things and do all the Lord has commanded us.  I also like the scripture in Moroni 9:6, there's a great work to accomplish whilst in our tabernacle of Clay! Not withstanding what's around you, kaya ka, pa...

Parents, Shanna, Haley and Elden are on their way to Kenya to help at a girl's school-Nasaruni, so no phone call with them. Clark and Elder Robertson talked about random things. Elder Robertson talked about how it was cool to visit this small group and bring the Sacrament to them. The Stake President came as well, which was cool!
