HAPPY NEW YEAR!
How was everyones new year?? Can you believe that the earth is already 2018 years old??


crazy!






:) Earlier this morning we cleaned the entire storage unit and office to break in the new year with the whole San Fernando Zone! It was a blast. There were designated dusters, sweepers, box carriers, and moral support! <--Sister Bangal!   Even a cook (Also Sister Bangal!)
Everything is super clean and looks great! There is a senior couple coming here in a week so we have been getting everything prepared for them :)
This week was awesome! Wednesday night we drove from San Fernando to La Trinidad (Baguio) and stayed the night over at the house of the missionaries. The next morning we filled the truck and the van full of missionaries and caravan-ed to a place called "Bugias" about 3 hours into the mountains from Baguio! The goal was to meet with the members of the Church there and find a possible place for a meeting house! Also look for other members of the Church who had been baptized in different cities when they were younger or in college. Seeing how there is no Church in Bugias, they havent been able to attend church regularly. And seeing how there are members there, they need a place to go! It was such a fun spiritual time meeting with the strong members of the Church in such a remote area. The view was absolutely gorgeous and I wont forget it. I loved being able to drive up and go. President Bangal shared a strong testimony as well as one of the members about the spreading of the Gospel. We left but before we did, we sang the Hymn "The Spirit of God".


The Gospel is so important and the Holy Ghost testifies to us of the truthfulness of this message.


Church was also great. There was a family from Arizona who was in town for the holidays who were pretty amazed by the scenary here in San Fernando! I got to talk to them before Sacrament. Their son served his mission here and he was seeing all those that he had met. It made me so grateful for the internet and the opportunity we have to be able to stay connected with people no matter where we are! The time is getting faster and faster.
I think its so cool that people make New Years Resolutions! No matter how cliche it is, how cool is it that we all have that drive to say "from this day on" and then its up to us to keep with it.


I love being a missionary, I love Our Savior. I love the Philippines.


Catch ya next week!
