Hey everybody!!

 Mga minamahal kong kapatid (My beloved brethren)so this was another amazing week for me and Elder Hawkins, we had a lot of good things happen this week like us finding a whole subdivision, that no one in this area have ever seem. So our plan is to go finding in that area and definitely see what we can get when we do it!! Also we have a very good progression in the area, really liked this week!! One of our baptismal dates, Marie, has come to church 2 times in a row and has been keeping the Word of Wisdom, she really understands our message we teach her and also she always reads the Book of Mormon, and believes it to be true. She believes the Church to be true and she always participates in all our lessons. Really think she is such a golden investigator. She always keeps our commitments and now also has a very good fellow shipper. So we just continue to pray that she will continue to progress towards baptism and eventually reach those waters. So yea that is the area in summary. 

 This is going to be a great week I can already feel looks like Preston is the first one to go, I actually thought it would be Tanner, but it looks like him, did Tanner extend?? For sure my leave date is August 15th, but lets not worry about that since that is still a far time away still. Right?? We can look forward to the other 3 going to home, but me no cause I still have a long time left, to be masipag(energetic)!! Anyways is it true Preston and Holden are companions in the mission?? That is so cool!! Haley went on a mission?? Wow that is awesome, that sounds like she is going to have such a great time doing that, she is going to love life in Argentina, so Lucero is also gone that's crazy who will I be able to see when I get home?? Whats going on here!! So the 2 loved the letter sounds like I will be writing them more now!! Also hopefully will get the card before next transfer day!! Anyways just let me know about all those things, this week will be working with one of the elders in my district, Elder Caballero, who goes home next transfer, then the very next day will be working with one of the zone leaders, Elder Basalo, yep my old 9th companion, hahaha it sounds like I just always seem to get old companions as zone leaders I think that is just hilarious!! Anyways wish my luck this week, we are really going to have a very busy week. The number one thing that I have wanted to say in this letter is this HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! Anyways the work is amazing and we are enjoying ourselves to the best, we had a thing this last week were we did a community service project, and actually got to see a lot of members in my 4th area, Quezon City 1st Ward. A lot of them less-actives that I was able to teach when I was assigned there. Also got told both Romela and Elsa were not there, because they were at the Stake Youth Conference, so yea they still really active and actually now work with the missionaries!! WAHOO love hearing about the fruit of my labors, really love being missionary that is definitely keeps me going!! Also today had a very good district meeting about on being a successful missionary. Great workshop!! Really felt the Spirit testify to those missionaries that what we taught them were true!! Anyways I love being a district leader, it is such a great opportunity to work and mingle with you district. A great opportunity to also serve!! It's amazing!! Love everything I do as a missionary for Jesus Christ!! Love you all miss you tons!! (For whoso the Lord loveth, he correcteth: Proverbs 3:10-11) Love you all and can't wait to talk with you all on May 12 just let me know what you want to do love you all!!!
