The Land of Temptation

Hey Y'all!  This week has been awesome! I have finally met my son! His name is Elder Jacinto from Tarloc. His native language is Ilokano, which I am dedicated to learn haha. That would make my 4th new language in the mission. Tagalog, Rinconada, Bikol, and hopefully Ilokano! But he is really a cool guy. We have been having tons of fun already! And even better I got to spend two days in the "Land of Temptation" in order to pick him up! We here in Philippines Naga Mission have a saying that Naga City is the "Land of Temptation." This is due to the many possibilities in Naga. There are super big malls, kinda like the ones in America, McDonalds, Theaters, Golfing... the list goes on and on. And it is the only area in our mission that has all of that. And needless to say there happen to be a lot of disobedient missionaries in Naga haha... i was a little nervous to see what would happen. I had heard some pretty crazy stories about Naga City. But our work there actuall...

I’m Going To Be A Dad!

Hello everyone! I hope all is going amazing! I'm sorry its been a while since my last email. I will try to better in the future. This week has been so amazing! We have really been focusing on finding new people to teach.  Our area is so so beautiful, and the people are so so friendly. But when it comes to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they recently haven't been to keen on listening in. So this week we have been finding and finding and finding... and guess what! No one wanted to listen. So we are going to try and do it again this week:)  This week I also had a great opportunity to see some of my favorite members from my first area! The Oliva family. They happened to be in Goa while I was holding a Baptismal Interview. And somehow we saw each other in the middle of Sentro. They invited us over for dinner and of course we joined them haha. But I found out that one of their family members who I taught had been baptized! It was such a happy moment! She told me all about her...
