San Fernando Family

Hello all! Sorry I wasn't able to send out an email last week! I will try and make up for it this week!!
Two weeks ago was the last couple days with Elder Campbell as my companion! He transferred to Baguio! But before he climbed the mountain, we had some work to do in San Fernando!
President Bangal requested that we assist the Sister Missionaries and go to a jail here in San Fernando to show a video about Christ and teach about Him and the Atonement of Jesus Christ.. It was super fun!! There were about 50 people in the jail who attended, men and women. They were all super respectful and nice to us. We were able to sit with them during the video, talk after, discuss religion, and hopefully they know have a better understanding about the Atonement and why it is that we need it in our lives!
I never thought that I would step into a jail here, but there was a solid basketball court there that hopefully I can play on with them if we are able to go back!

My new companion is Elder Tavita! He is from Australia and is so so nice and energetic! We seem to feed off of one another with our energy and are always on the move! His family is from Samoa... So you already know we will be having some big filling dinners and I am so happy for that!!
We had a lot of meetings with the other missionaries in the mission this week, which was fun to be able to talk to them and learn from their experiences! I hope that Elder Tavita and I can help out the people in our area, and the missionaries in the Zone!
Earlier today we had a Zone Activity at the Church! All the missionaries in the zone came and we had a super fun scripture study, played some games, and then watched a movie called Gods Army. It was a super good missionary movie!
Nothing too crazy has been happening, but Sister Teresita has been coming to church weekly and is really working hard to learn! She has so many amazing questions and thoughts. I hope she will be able to learn more and more every day and come close to our Savior as long as every one.
I hope you all take care and have a great week! Happy March! Cant believe its already here.. Where has the time gone??
