White Christmas... Moving on to a new area...

Well, hello there everybody!!! A TON has happened this past week... I have forgotten some of it, but luckily I have written it down ^.^

First of all.. I am being transferred to a new area on Wednesday.  It is a VERY bitter sweet experience... seeing that I have become very close to all the people here in this area, and especially my current companion. I have also been blessed to have been staying in the apartment that I am in right now.. so I will definitely be enjoying that as long as I can... hehe ^.^ Anywho... 

We had a lot of Christmas Parties which is way fun because that equals free food and fun times! Most especially the Christmas Party that we had at OUR branch. There were a ton of games, and some candy. We also had a super yummy dinner, which included roasted pig! That was delicious. I also got to cook a little bit of that pig earlier that day, which may have helped make it taste that much better. ;)

 We had a White Christmas (as you can see from the title of this letter), but it was not the normal White Christmas that you are all used to. No sir. This, my friends, was a White Christmas where it was still hot as heck outside! We had a Baptism!! :D Her name is Lyza, and she has been ready now for a while.. and since Elder Pandaog and I were afraid of me getting transferred, we made the baptism date for Christmas Day - which ended up being perfect! Lyza was super happy that it was on Christmas day, and she will never forget her baptism :) She will always remember the day that it happened!

I also got to skype my family this week, and I really REALLY enjoyed that! Everyone is growing up so fast... I feel like when I get back home, everyone is going to be so different.. I don't know if I will recognize everyone! We'll see though ;) 

Well, as this year is coming to a close, I have sat and thought on the things that I have done this past year of 2015.  As the new year comes up, I am excited to make some new goals and watch as I continue to grow and learn and improve.  I love serving a mission, and I have grown so much.. it hasn't always been an enjoyable experience, but the blessings that I have received... well, it's been well worth the ride. 

I love you all, and hope you all have a great LAST week of 2015! :) 

Talk to you all next year! ;)

A week of inspiration (Maligayang Pasko!)

Earlier this week, we had a fantastic Christmas Devotional with 3 other zones, along with President and Sister Rahlf.  They taught us, in depth, about the Christmas story, and what everything really means... how important Mary and Joseph's roles really were. Why God chose them to becomes the parents of Jesus Christ, here on the Earth.  I just want to share a few things that I learned from this :)

First, we learned about Mary and Joseph and what made them such great people. Mary was "high favored among women." President Rahlf said something interesting.. he said "Imagine as Jesus Christ was giving instruction to Gabriel (Who was Noah here on Earth.) and with tears in his eyes, told him to tell Mary that he has been watching her, and has seen how great of a woman she is.  And to also tell her that she is highly favored."  WHen he said that, it hit me so strongly that Mary was chosen for that divine role of becoming the Mother of Christ. Her Lord. Our Lord.  As for Joseph.. it says in the scriptures that he was a just man. He had respect and loved Mary enough to not have her killed (which was an option back in their day, for women who had committed adultery) but to divorce her.  Which after that, he received a vision in a dream that the Mary was carrying Jesus Christ. Joseph was in tune enough with the spirit, and living in a way, that he was worthy enough to receive visions from the spirit that ended up protecting them. Awesome!

We also learned about the importance of Jesus Christ, and His role as our Lord and Redeemer.  As well as the Creator and he will be our Judge.  Jesus Christ has played such a major role in every single one of our lives.. we cannot afford to just stand by and wait until he returns.  As it says in Alma 34:32 - This life is a time to prepare to meet God.  I know that as we all strive more to show our gratitude towards our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and try to prepare with more concentrated efforts, we will see the blessings in our lives! :)

Also, earlier this week we finally found an investigator who we are going to be baptizing on Christmas Day! She is so fantastic, and she is so prepared.  The spirit has testified to my companion and I over and over again that she is ready! :) Oh how fantastic it will be to have a "White Christmas." ;) 

I love you all! Have a great week! AND MERRY CHRISTMAS! :D

Busy Erryday, in almost erry-way

Well hello there! Elder Walstad here, reporting from the Philippines.  Here in Bambang.  I am loving it here.. it's starting to cool down a little bit which is nice, and the fact that we have an air conditioner makes it all that much more enjoyable. My companion and I were so busy this week... we had something every single day, which made this week just fly by. it was crazy. Crazy AWESOME!

We had some baptismal interviews to conduct earlier this week, which is always an enjoyable experience. I love sitting down and interviewing candidates who are ready for baptism.  The spirit is always so strong.  It was especially true in my interview that I did on Wednesday.  Every question, the spirit confirmed to me that the Brother was ready.  Then, when he bore his testimony at the end, the spirit hit me so strong, I started to get tears in my eyes! What an experience!

Thursday we did splits with some of the Elders in our Zone, then Friday we went to Cauayan and did splits with our AP's.  That was fun! It was fun to go on splits with the AP's and drive around in a car ;) I also learned a lot, and I really feel that I received a lot of personal revelation on how I can better improve myself as a missionary, and I how I can better grow in the Gospel.  

Saturday there were some baptisms and a Christmas Party, which was super fun! And of course, there was FOOD! So that's always a plus. 

Christmas here in the Philippines is different, of course, but also the same. Different because of the life-style here and it's away from home, but same because of the Spirit that comes with the Christmas Season, and enjoying the lights and also the wonderful hospitality of the people.

I'm so grateful for you all! I love you all, and hope you all have a great week.

Work hard, sleep sound

Holy cow. I just want to say that this week has been SO awesome. My companion and I decided to really push ourselves this week, and we definitely felt the difference!

We started off the week a little slower, since we had some meetings and other obligations, but mid-way through the week, we started working really hard, and we got a bunch of new investigators this week.  We actually have started teaching a family... well, one BIG family, with a bunch of smaller families within the BIG family.  One of guys has been interested for a while now, and we are hoping to teach and eventually baptize everybody! They all had questions which led to a discussion about Jesus Christ, or how important the Gospel is and how it can apply to their lives, personally.  It was so great to feel their curiosity and willingness to listen and learn from the spirit, through us! 

We have also had a lot of members recently who are preparing to serve missions, and they have been asking us to work and we've actually had so many that we have to start scheduling them on different days, so that everyone gets a turn! This is the first time that I've had this problem... but it's not a bad problem! We have definitely been seeing the blessings of working with members, by having fellow-shippers for the new investigators, and also the members have been growing and are becoming more excited to go out and serve.  

Missionary work is so great! It's so fun to talk to random people (yet it's nerve wracking sometimes.....) because we get to know all kinds of different people, and how we can help apply the gospel to them and their circumstances.  Doing that also helps give a different perspective of how important the Gospel is in MY life, and, however deep the doctrine can be, or how many different principles there are, it really is so simple that little children can understand it and grasp it's teachings. How Glorious! ;) 

Also, my companion and I have been pretty hyper this week... so we have had days full of laughing and that definitely makes the days FLY by, and more enjoyable.  I'm grateful for Laughter and humor. 2 fantastic blessings. 

Well, I hope you ALL have a FANTASTIC week, full of laughs and happiness ;)

Mashed potatoes = happiness

Well, this week flew by. No surprise there! But there were 2 days that really stuck out to me.  Wednesday and Thursday.

On Wednesday, we had our MLC (Mission Leadership Council meeting) and we had a super powerful meeting, led by President Rahlf.  The Spirit was undeniable, and really gave me an extra push in wanting to succeed as a missionary.  Especially with the Christmas season coming up, since last year I was very weak in the language, this year I will be trying extra hard to find and teach people.  President Rahlf said "This may be the only time of the year where the people you talk to will hear about the gospel, and be willing to listen and accept it." Since the Philippines is so centred on Jesus Christ, our message could be just what they need! I'm so excited :) We also had a really good thanksgiving feast for lunch that day, which was fantastic. 

When Thursday rolled around, I was super stoked.  Us Americans in the Zone had been planning out Thanksgiving for about a month now, and now that the day had finally arrived, it was super exciting! We cooked up 3 1/2 kilo's of mashed potatoes, which turned out to be exactly enough for me to have some leftovers for lunch the next day.  Also, our Filipino companions weren't necessary excited about eating a meal that didn't consist of rice... but after enjoying themselves, they thanked us for putting it all together.  They learned that night just how fantastic Thanksgiving feasts can be :) 

It was also nice to lay down that night and ponder over the things that I am grateful for.  One thing that President Rahlf taught us during our MLC was gratitude, as well as the SIN of ingratitude. I said a prayer of gratitude that night, and made sure to thank my heavenly father for all of the wonderful blessings that I have received in my life.  

I'm so grateful to be serving here in the Philippines, and to be blessed with such an amazing family and with so many amazing friends. Thank you all for your love and support! 

It's crazy that it's already December, and as we near Christmas, let us ponder the life of Christ and always remember how grateful we are for the things we have received because of him.

Love you all! Have a great week :)

Happy Araw ng Pasasalamat

Well, this translated means day of thanks... because it's too complicated to try and figure out what thanksgiving is... haha. 

Well, this week flew by pretty quick. It's kind of hard to believe that it's already the week of Thanksgiving. I remember last years like it was yesterday! Thinking "Oh fetch... I still have a long ways to go..." haha. And now look at where we are! Dang. 

So this week my companion and I really focused on, as we have been the past couple of weeks, rescuing.  The focus here in the Philippines isn't only on Baptisms but reactivating.  Which, honestly, shouldn't be a problem! But there is someone named Satan who is striving hard every single day, 24/7, to destroy our lives and take us away from what we know to be true.  And he has succeeded with a lot of people here... but he underestimates the power of the Spirit and what we can accomplish as missionaries.  We contacted almost a dozen inactive members this past week, and almost every single one of them had a look of gratitude and happiness when they saw us and knew that we had been searching for them, and that they haven't been forgotten.  It's a great feeling being part of such an amazing rescuing!

I also feel like I can officially state that I am pretty much fluent in Tagalog now :) Of course I still have A TON to learn, but I made it! After 16 months of hard work, I've finally gotten to the point of being comfortable in the language :) It's a great feeling! And it encourages me to want to work harder and achieve an even greater level of understanding!

Well.. I just want to share a short list of things that I am grateful for :) 

1 - My family (My father, mother and sisters)

2 - My friends

3 - My awesome Companion

4 - Knowing Tagalog

5 - Air Conditioning

6 - Food

7 - Water

8 - Internet

9 - The Gospel of Jesus Christ

10 - The atonement

That could go on for days... but this is just a glimpse :)

I love you all, and have a great week full of gratitude and yummy food!

Punted, but still goin' strong!

So this week, every day we went out to work, we got punted at almost every single appointment! Even when we would try to contact people, they wouldn't be interested, or they wouldn't listen to us. The people here have been getting harder to talk to, and it's been getting harder to find new investigators... but we are still going out every day, and we are trying our best to find and teach those who Heavenly Father has prepared for us! 

One way we are doing that is through members.  I just want to testify of the strength of the members.  When they give us referrals, that is where most of our success comes from.  One reason for that is they are usually friends of the members, so that also means that they have been around the members which means they have been around good standards, and they probably have a small understanding of who the "mormons" are.  Then when we get to them, they have been softened up and are more willing to listen to us! 

I'm grateful for the struggles though, and the trials that I am experiencing, both personally and in the work, because I recognize that I am growing and learning a lot, and I am also getting closer to my Heavenly Father and coming to know my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ more personally. I'm so grateful for that!

A funny story.... earlier this week, after a long hard day of working and biking almost 10 miles, I fell asleep pretty quick that night.  My companion, Elder Pandaog, told me that around 12:00 a.m. I woke him up because I was talking in my sleep. He said that I was speaking Tagalog! Haha. Then I mixed it up with some Taglish... but he said he couldn't stop laughing. I couldn't stop laughing either, once he told me! That's pretty cool though... the language is starting to become more natural that I am starting to speak it while I sleep! Cool Beans! 

Anywho... I hope everyone has a GREAT week. And I love you all! :) 

Stay True!

Elder Walstad

Oh yeah

Well, this email will be short this week.  We didn't do too much because I, again, got sick... but we still tried to go out and work as much as we could, and it always feels good to get out there in do work! 

We have been focusing a lot of our time lately on finding and rescuing less-active members.  We actually found a lot of members through contacting on the street.. who after a few minutes admitted to us that they "used to be members." We always tell these people that they are still members, and welcome back. It's funny because 95% of the time, the less actives always have excuses, and most of the time, they are just ridiculous things that they obviously made up on the spot.. which we know because everyone always has the same excuses. Hehe. The main one is "oh, I'm too busy." But the next day we go by their houses and see them just sitting around, and when they see us, they either run away or try and make it look like they are hard at work.  

We still try and try and through Charity and patience, we sometimes see the blessing of these members return to activity in the Church.  I actually read about pride yesterday, and it's interesting what it said.  "When people make excuses, or try to avoid their responsibilities, that is considered pride." It also said that pride will be the destruction of nations.  Especially as members of the church, we should try and avoid pride, and be more Christlike.  Of course, it's easier said than done, but I know we can do it :) KAYA NATIN!!!!!!

I'm super duper grateful to be serving in the Philippines, Cauayan mission. It's the best. 

Love you all, and have a great week!!!

P.s. - I'll have pictures next week :) 

Wow, talk about a full week of awesomeness

So there were so many awesome things that went down this week! We had an amazing leadership council with Elder Schwitzer of the Seventy (He spoke in this last General Conference btw...), then the next day we had an awesome Zone Conference, then just earlier today we went to BANAUE RICE TERRACES!!!!!!!!! It is one of the wonders of the world! And when you see the pictures, you will understand why :D 

So first of all, our amazing leadership council... it was so amazing because he gave us so many wonderful tips on how to become a better leader. Some of those tips include - "Seek to inspire, not to impress." "Simplify your life, so that your tasks you have to do don't dilute your ability to concentrate." And one of my favorites was "Have INTEGRITY and PREDICTABILITY." I thought those were super interesting, and I have been trying to apply those things into being a Zone Leader. It's helped for sure, and I know that it will help me throughout the rest of my life!

Next we had our Zone Conference the next day, which was super great! We learned a lot about Repentance, and the role that it plays in the Plan of Salvation.  We also learned a lot about how to better use the scriptures both in teaching and while studying.  It has really helped me!!! One example that he used for the scriptures was when Nephi chastises his flippin' brothers because they are being so annoying... and he uses the scriptures to prove to them that what Lehi and Nephi have said is true. It isn't that we are here to prove, but really to inspire.... which is one of those Leadership attributes again ^.^ It's all comin' back in a full circle. Yup. SWEEEEET.

Also, to make the week even MORE AWESOMER, we went to the Banaue Rice Terraces.  It was unbelievably gorgeous.  It is nearly impossible to try and describe what it is like in words, and just pictures... but my attempt would be this. With the cool air and incredibly intricate sculpted rice terraces below you, it is so crazy COOL to be there and see the work that has been put into such an amazing work of art. Plus, the hike is flippin insane... it's SO steep, but it was So worth it. :) Yup.. that was kinda a summary of the Banaue Rice Terraces. ^.^ 

So, this week was awesome. More awesome weeks to come. I am going to be here in my area for another 8 weeks, so I am SUPER excited about that! It's gonna be awesome! #Blessed.

Have a super great week!

100%

This was a good week of recovering and preparing for this upcoming week.  My companion and I didn't have too much work because I got a little sick again... but now I am back to 100% and ready to start going hard, again, this next week! We did however find more new investigators. So that's always AWESOME! hehe. We found one family, the Albano family, who seemed VERY willing to listen to us.  We taught them right there on the spot.  We will go back to them this next week, and we are hoping and praying that the spirit has confirmed to them that what we are sharing with them is true! ^.^ 

So.... I really buckled down this week and got back into some good habits, and I have really noticed the difference in every aspect.  How I feel throughout the day, how my companionship is with the spirit, and with my companion.  Really, everything has improved 100% :) The spirit is just so vital. We need it! We can't afford NOT to have the spirit with us.  

We also have been blessed a lot this week with free food! Seriously, for missionaries, and really for anyone, FREE FOOD is so fantastic.  We go to peoples houses (usually members) and they will just pull out whatever biscuits or treats they have, and will offer it to us. And we can't say no... that's rude. ;) haha. Yesterday, we went to a members house, and they invited us in, and fed us dinner! They had just finished cooking spaghetti, and there was still left over! It's almost like they KNEW we were gonna come. hehe. #Blessed. 

Well, This next week will be super exciting.  We are going to have the chance to sit down and listen to Elder Schwitzer of the Seventy teach us.  He gave a talk in this last Conference, so I am super stoked to hear what he has to say! And to feel of his Spirit.  WOOO!!!!!! :D 

Well, I hope you all have a great week. Read the scriptures and be awseome!

A stormy week!

So as most of you probably know by now, we had a big typhoon fly over our mission.. and it is actually still over our mission as of right now.  But the strongest part of the storm has already passed.  It was supposed to be a Category 3 or 4, which is very strong, but it ended up weakening and it ended up being ok! There was a lot of rain, and some really strong wind, but nothing that we couldn't handle! Everyone is ok, and my companion and I are all good :) 

This week we had a really awesome lesson.  We contacted a random lady who, at first, didn't seem interested at all.  But as we continued to BRT with her, and just try to show her that we were normal human beings who just wanted to "make a friend," she really opened up, and we ended up being able to teach her right there.  We opened with a prayer, and the second it ended, the lady broke down and started to cry.  We were a little confused at first, and didn't know if we should start yet, but we decided to continue with the lesson, and we kept asking her how she felt, and she kept telling us that she was feeling happy, and grateful that we were there, and that we cared about her and what was happening in her life.  We continued on to testify about Jesus Christ, and how he knows EXACTLY what she is going through, and that if she turns to him for help that she will receive that.  We then invited her to pray if our message was true and she accepted a return appointment.  The spirit was definitely there during that lesson, and I definitely saw her testimony grow.  I just hope and pray that she continues to stay interested!

We didn't get to work too much more though, because I got sick... but I think that it was more I was just insanely exhausted! We really worked hard this past week, and we had been biking every day, close to 10 miles a day, so my body needed a couple of days to catch back up with itself. But I'm all good now! Woo! 

It's crazy that it's already October 19th.... my companion and I weren't sure if that was really true this morning until we checked 4 different calendars. Haha. Fun times. 

Well, I hope that you all have a great week full of bliss and delight.

New companion + General Conference

So a lot has happened this week!.. well, kinda. I said goodbye to one of my good friends, in Elder Tadeo, and welcomed one of my other friends here in the mission as my new companion, Elder Pandaog!  We were in the same zone in Santiago, and I had joked back then that we will become companions... well, look at that! It came true! :D And it's been fantastic. He's super awesome, and a hard worker, so that is always a plus.

(Tanner with Elder Pandaog)

We also had to teach our zone meeting on Thursday, which was fun.  Elder Pandaog didn't know much about the lessons since he is just a brand new Zone Leader.  So I spent Wednesday night teaching him, and then Thursday we taught our zone.  That was fun! I would have to say that I enjoy teaching! Even if it's other missionaries, sharing knowledge with others, and helping them come to a better understanding of things is quite fulfilling! 

Holy cow - General Conference was SO fantastic!! I really learned a lot, and I had a lot of personal questions answered.  I feel that I am more prepared for the future, and I have a deeper understanding AND love for the gospel. I don't know that if I have ONE favorite talk, but I really liked Elder Bednar's talk, and Elder Holland.  Elder Holland's talk actually made me really miss my mom... which made me SUPER excited for when I will see her again. :) I LOVE YOU MOMMY!! ^.^ 

I have really learned a lot out here, serving a mission, in the Philippines.  I have really come to see how blessed I am, and I feel that I am more sincere then ever in my thanks to Heavenly Father.

Well, I love you all! Have a great week full of happiness and smiles.

Bye Bye Kasama! (Kasama = companion)

Well, it's official. My companion, Elder Tadeo, is going home.  He goes back to Manila on Wednesday, but leaves for the mission home tomorrow. So I will be companion-less for a day and a half. I feel like this cycle has just flown by. It really feels like we just became companions yesterday. I have really learned a lot from him, and I will miss him a lot - but he has finished his two years strong, and it's an exciting time for him!

Earlier this week, we had our Leadership counsel meeting, and President Rahlf taught something that really brought tears to my eyes. The Spirit was so strong. There was no denying that what he taught was true. He told us how Satan has pre-emptive strikes, and counter attacks.  With Pre-emptive strikes, he tries to strike right before we have a spiritual experience, or when we will have something good happen. And Counter attacks, which is right after having a good experience, or spiritual experience, he will attack us.  Satan is very real, and very powerful... but Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father are more powerful.  He said, (And don't quote me on this) "Satan has power on us, but NOT OVER us." It's so true - our agency gives us the choice of whether or not we will follow or listen to those temptations.  It hit me so strong, and really made me want to strive harder to NEVER give that power to Satan.  

I am enjoying this mission, fo sho! It's hard, but the feeling of fulfilment and the rewards/blessings are so great, that the 2 years of struggle/growth will be MORE than worth it. 

I know that this Church is True, and I KNOW that Jesus Christ, our Saviour and brother, loves us, and knows us personally. 

Have a great week!

1 Week to go

This week was a really great week!... it went way fast and I feel like so much has happened, but here I go!

So I actually got kind of sick this week, so our work kind of slowed down, but Elder Tadeo and I had so many laughs... and now that he only has 1 more week left, it is kind of sad that we are done being companions, but we are gonna cherish this last week for sure!!! We also had to drop all the rest of our investigators because none of them are interested anymore, and some of them even hide when we go to teach them! So yeah... it will be an interesting next week. 

We had one lesson this week that was super awesome. I really felt the spirit strong. So we were teaching a lady who is active, and after our lesson, she opened up with us about a problem that she is having right now with her brother.  She was telling us how she has been praying for Karma against him, and for revenge.. and she has been having "not so nice" feelings towards him.  Just earlier that morning during my studies I was reading D&C 98.  That section is ALL about forgiveness and being patient in affliction... and it was almost an audible voice that told me "have her read D&C 98." I heard it 3 or 4 times, while she was talking, and after she finished, I immediately asked her where her scriptures were.  The spirit entered the room and it was so strong. I then continued to tell her about the background of Joseph smith and the Saints.  I knew, 100%, that that was for her. I am so grateful for that experience! Those are the times when the mission is ALL worth it. :)

Today (for P-day) we hiked up a mountain to a cross, as a zone, and it was such a beautiful view of all of our areas. And it was still early enough so that it wasn't insanely hot.  It was awesome :) 

There is 1 more week left in this cycle.  It's hard to believe. I feel like it just started. I am really trying to enjoy it all, and I have really grown so much and learned so much in the last 4 1/2 weeks. #Blessed ;) 

Well, I hope you all have a great week! Remember who you are ^.^

Zone Conference week

We did so much this week! It's crazy. Every day seriously flies by, it is hard to believe that I have already been here in this area for almost a cycle. It feels like it's only been a week long. But it's all good :) 

We had Zone Conference this week, on Tuesday, and it was super awesome.  We really learned a lot from President and Sister Rahlf on the Sabbath day.  It was super inspiring, and Elder Tadeo and I have been trying to teach the members here the importance of the Sabbath day, and that they should be giving more respect to our Lord and Saviour by following this commandment. Also, Elder Tadeo and I got to teach a "workshop" and it was super awesome! I love teaching :) It's super fun! 

Wednesday, we went to our 2nd furthest area... which is about a 30 minute Tricee ride.... or probably just under 2 hours walking. It's insane.  And we have another area that is another hour or so away... so that is fun. 

We actually found a family that we are going to go back and teach again, so I am hoping and praying that they will continue to show interest.. because the church is kind of far from their house and they are kind of super poor. But God never gives a commandment without a way to accomplish it! (1 Nephi 3:7) :) So KAYA NILA! (They can do it!)

Since we have been going to our further areas lately, we decided to borrow some bikes from members, and we were very blessed and found a member who was more than willing to let us borrow their bikes! It was super nice being able to use the bikes... we were able to more effectively use our time, and accomplish more! Plus, we saved a little bit of money, which will add up over time :) So that's always a bonus.  And it's a nice workout - so pretty much, it's just blessings all around. 

Bikes!

I also got to go on splits with on of the new elders in my zone, and it was nice to be able to be on the other side, and help him out... I can TOTALLY relate to him 100%... so being able to help him, and give him advice... I realized how far I've come, and how much my Father in Heaven has helped me, and is aware of me... but really is aware of Each and Every single on of us! What a blessing. 

Going on splits with Elder Perkins

Well, my week has been great! It went so fast, and is getting faster. I'm just enjoying every minute :) 

Have a great week!
