Happy B-day to ME! ^.^

So this week was a pretty good one! We finally got a lot of rain, and clouds, so the temperature has been a little lower. So that means that the work is better ;) Because we stay out longer and work harder because the sun isn't killing us :)

So... I turned 20 years old this week. That's weird. But it's cool! I went to a restaurant called shakey's, and it was pretty good! It's one of the closest restaurants to American style food... so yeah! :) nummy in my tummy! 

I guess we all get older, and we all grow up, so I just gotta enjoy this next year!  I think that this year will be a very memorable one, so I gotta make sure to give it my all!

Quincy came home, "my bro from another mo who is the sis of my mo!" :D He's awesome! Thanks for your example buddy! 

(Cousin, Quincy... Welcome home!)

This week, our work has been pretty good! Elder Valdez and I went back to Cauayan for his 4-weeks training. It was pretty great! I love being taught by President Rahlf, and now we have kind of had an extra boost to help us rock it in our last 8 weeks together. I'm super grateful for Elder Valdez. He is so awesome. I've said this before, but besides the technical things, I am learning more from him I think. Training is such a great opportunity, and I'm grateful for this chance to train Elder Valdez :) 

I just want to say that my testimony has really become solid. Like adamantium (The metal that ironman uses ^.^) I am so grateful for my trials (Ether 12:6,27) and for how much I have learned on my mission. The time really flies by so fast, so as long as I am trying to be my best and learn all I can... that's success for me :) 

I love my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and I'm grateful to be serving him here in the Philippines! It's hard, but worth it.

Love you all! 

Stay True!
