Hey everybody,

 This has been a very extraordinary week we had a lot of good success this week in all that we do as missionaries. Lots of great things were learned this week, and throughout this transfer. Really sad about what is going to happen these next couple of days. First things first is yes that would be about enough for a new pair of shoes mom, that is perfect and will probably pull that out on Thursday!! Thanks for your  support this has been the hardest transfer of my whole mission, lots of challenges, and lots of weaknesses that I have had to overcome this last transfer. So glad I got to spend it with Elder Bagonbon, bad news is is that Elder Bagonbon will be transferring so yep I'm going to get another companion. I'm going to go on number 13 for my amount of companions!! Yep that is really something!! Yea we also were able to find out about those things happening around the Philippines!! Really excited to hear that the Lord's work is progressing like the stone cut out of the mountain (Daniel 2:44-45) Really loving this area, we had another amazing turnout at church, we had 5 investigators come to church, which is a very big amount especially with the fact that the church is over 40 minutes away and our area is a very poor area, but we have very strong investigators with very strong faith!! We will be able to have baptisms this coming transfer, I know it these people we are teaching have been prepared by the Lord for us to bring to them this everlasting gospel!! I'm loving my life as a missionary and wouldn't trade anything for it!! Miss you all tons too, but I love being a missionary and I know its been through obedience I have been able to overcome my weaknesses this transfer and made them my strengths!! I loved this transfer hardest, but most rewarding so glad to have spent it with Elder Bagonbon really going to miss him!! Love you all and till next week!!

Mahal kita,
