Magandang Umaga po Sainyo lahat!!!
(Please sainyo good morning all!!)

 Una, Elder Thompson and Elder Su'a are loving the life that we have here in the Quezon City 1st Ward, the work is very progressing rapidly. Lots of things have been happening we have really got this area going, lots of new investigators and lots of new less-actives too. We have really trying to ubos the CMIS or the records of the less-actives so that we know all the less-actives in our area before one of us transfers to a different area. We have already seen the progress of our work here in the area. Which I will tell to you all mamaya sa sulat ko ha? (later in the letter I ha?)
 Im really excited to     see all those in the ward are really stepping up to plate as Dad would say. Very excited for Garrett that's going to be a very great experience, really hoping to actually have someone in the ward go to the Philippines as well doesn't matter who or where just want someone to talk to in Tagalog when I get home, cause of the fact that I'm going to be the only one in the whole ward that knows how to speak Tagalog maliban sa akin!!!(Tagalog except me) Even though when I'm going to be able bear my testimony in Tagalog no one is going to understand me hahaah SWEET!!!

  So everybody this week has been an amazing week, and siempre this coming week is also going to be so stinking awesome I can already feel it. So last week we had baptism as well as temple tour on the same day what I freaking awesome time for us as missionaries me and Elder Su'a. So since you guys are so excited to hear the word baptism, ill tell you that one of the children, of one of our less-actives families the Clarin family, their youngest daughter Arlene, was baptized last Saturday, by Elder Thompson into Ang Simbahan ni JesuCristo ng mga Banal sa mga Huling (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) Their Dad is not a member is why I was able to baptize her, but their Dad is our investigator and is starting to really open up. He came for the first time to church yesterday and also attended the baptism of Arlene. It was amazing!!! I love this family so freaking one of the reasons I didn't want to be transferred is this family. We are really making progress the mother and son are members, but were less-active, but now are ACTIVE!!! WAHOO!!, their son, Ariel will also be receiving the Aaronic Priesthood and become a deacon, so much progression, now its all the focus on helping them stay active and bringing Brother into the gospel.

  We also had temple tour that same day, but earlier in the morning. It was a big success you will see later in the picture. Lots of people I got to see it was a very happy Saturday for me and Elder Su'a. So with that also one of our investigators, Elsa is really progressing and has a baptismal date set for Nov 3rd she's an amazing investigator, we had our struggles getting her to understand the gospel at first since she was a dating 7 Days Adventist so we had a little struggle with the Sabbath Day as well as FOOD??(They still believe in the Law of Moses, its forbidden to eat anything with 4 feet), but now she has overcome that as well as her last church actually come to her house and chastise her and say that we are not true since they said "Ang mga Demonio ay magsisimba sa Linggo"  (the devil goes to church on sunday) Demons are the ones that go to church on Sunday!!! She has overcome all of those trials that have been upon her and just keeps going shes so stinking masipag(energetic)I love it. Really does have a testimony we have really kept the Book of Mormon a priority for her. She's an amazing investigator none the less, and I'm very excited to be able to see her be baptized into the church.

  So we have had a lot of our focus more on our squatters part of our area, this is where we have found a lot of our new progressing investigators. We also now have planned a whole entire day to go tracting this week in one of our more richer part of our area, so wish us luck on that, we are going the whole day with that. Its going to be so much fun I can already feel it. The Lord's work is progressing none the less and the work is never done. I love you all and miss you all so much, but I know that I'm where I need to be right now.
