Kumusta ti biag?

Hello sa lahat! This week was so good! And I am so happy being a missionary here in Luna!
August 23rd marked 5 months of the mission done! It is going by way too fast, I wish I could slow it down just a little bit! It rained quite a bit this week so we were able to stay cool during the day which felt nice! On Tuesday after our District Meeting we had a boodle fight and probably ate a little to much! Elder Waite and I will need to workout extra hard in the mornings if we want to stay slim here hahah.
On Wednesday Elder Dum had a meeting at the mission office so his treinee, Elder Fisher, came and worked with us for the day in Luna! Elder Waite and Fisher were companions in the MTC so it was cool for them to work with each other in the field! Elder Fisher is AMAZING at the piano as well so at our district meetings we always make him play anything and everything! He has only been called Joe one time on his mission! So I made sure to change our schedule around so that we could go to the areas where everyone always calls us Joe!
His smile on his face after getting called Joe was priceless! And it happened every time! 3 new American missionaries just trying to run the streets all day making it a great day!
On Thursday we met this man from the high lands who speaks little to no Tagalog and loves speaking in English! Elder Waite was so happy to have an investigator that we can teach in English and the man, Benjamin, is so nice and willing to listen and ask questions! It was somewhat hard for me to teach him in English! All of my sentences would come out in Tagalog first! Elder Waite and Benjamin both got a kick out of it though.
We have been able to cook all of the week and not eat out as much! One of my favorite snacks is Turon, a banana with sugar, cinnamon, wrapped in a lumpia wrapper!
Being able to cook is a lot better than eating out every day, thanks Elder Moreland for the cooking lessons!


Missionary work is the best, one of our investigators asked us the other day this question: What is the most important thing someone can do in this life?


Its something that I have though about for the last couple days with the answer and then changing my answer again and again.
For me, I feel that the most important thing we can do in this life, is to strive to be who Christ is and develop his attributes. Once we have started on that trail, we will be able to help our friends and family on the same path, a path that helps us be able to live with our Father in Heaven again.
Being a missionary is such a blessing and i wouldn't change it for the world.
I love you all and hope you all have great weeks!



-No pictures this week, sorry! I will try to take more next week!
