Welcome to Bangued Elder Lloyd

Elder Lloyd is my new companion and is from the great country of New Zealand! Another Kiwi how cool! He got here on Tuesday and we went straight to work! I love being with another hardworking companion just like Elder Jenson and all of the others Ive had, it feels could to just get back to work right away no matter who you are with. We went around seeing all of the people we visit and members of the Branch! Elder Lloyd has actually been assigned in Bangued before! Just in the other Branch, so he has seen quite a few people which is fun to see their reactions that hes back again!
Ronie and Minda are both scheduled to be baptized in September! It has been so cool seeing their conversion and their faith grow. It just really goes to show how amazing the Atonement is and how powerful of a role it can play in our lives.


One thing that was really fun this week was Thursday. Elder Lloyd and I woke up at about 5:30am, got ready, and were out the door at 6:30 to work. It was so much fun being outside so early and seeing the people that you miss when youre outside in the afternoon. We worked in a barangay called Sagap, and then in San Antonio! The Baga family cooked us duck for lunch, (delicious!) and then we worked back in Bangued for the rest of the day. Just walking talking and having a smile on my face the whole day was the best. We got home at about 9pm DRAINED TIRED. But after a quick dinner we planned for more activities during the week, read the Book of Mormon, and crashed hahha. the next morning was awesome though, we got up and were fully charged!
Another thing I like alot is that every night before we go to bed, me Elder Llloyd, Hennessey and Vilela all read one chapter of the Book of Mormon together. We read in Tagalog too in order to catch the deep Tagalog and ask Elder Vilela what it means haha. Just going to bed on a note like that has been really cool. Very relaxing and inviting.
I love being here in Bangued, I will try to write more next week! Have a great week everyone, Love you all!
