A full/stuffed week!

So this week was kinda crazy! It kinda feels like it was the longest week ever, but it really just flew by! But first of all - I just want to shout out to my buddy Bryce Lund! He just came home from his mission this last week! That's crazy! And also my cousin Quincy! He's just awesome :) He's a boss!

So yeah - Tuesday, we had an Elder's Conference, with all of the elders in the mission - and we learned about how to be a "real" man. It was so great!! We had a great in-depth study about Ammon, and how, even though in the beginning of his life, he was the vilest of sinners, and he turned out being the best missionary EVAH! I know that we can all make that kind of change in our lives, through the atonement of Jesus Christ. 

Elders Conference

So on Friday, Elder Valdez and I talked to a lot of people, and we are really sad that our time together is almost up! The time seriously just flies by! Elder Valdez is awesome :)

Saturday, we had a super cool opportunity to attend a Mason party. We OYM'd (contacted) a guy who i a less-active memeber, who is also a Mason, and he introduced us to a member of the Mason group here in Santiago City, who holds a high position. He then gave us an invitation to their 64th anniversary party!!! It was super cool! We actually ended up meeting/talking to 5 different mayors, very successful business men, and other people with high positions here in Santiago. It was a super great finding opportunity for Elder Valdez and I, and we are hoping to be able to follow-up a lot of those people we came in contact with there.

Food at the Mason party.

I'm super grateful for this chance to be serving the people here in the Philippines, and to bring them the message of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ! May we all pause and think about how much of a blessing the gospel is in our lives :)

Love you all!!

Stay True
