Adjusting to Life on Palawan

November 25, 2019

Hello everyone!

Elder Nimenzo and I are getting more familiar with the area with the help from our zone leaders. Our area is really big so it's kinda hard getting around. We have to walk and trike a lot to get to different places but it's really good here. 

It's different here in St. Monica then it is in Paranaque. A lot of people say they're really busy in Paranaque but here a lot of people are home and are willing to listen. 

Elder Nimenzo and I are having fun trying to find new people and trying to figure this area out. The members are very nice here. I'm impressed with the youth in our ward. They are all willing to work with us and do missionary work and we're doing really good. 

This week I went on exchanges with my district leader Elder Gessel from Maple Mountain Utah. He is an awesome missionary and super nice to everyone we see. That's something I really want to get better at and just smile and be nice to everyone. We are all children of our Heavenly Father and as we continue to strive to become more like Him and be kind to others and try to serve them we can become better every day. 

We had an appointment with this family, I can't remember their names right now, but they were so nice. We shared a scripture and then afterwards the 4 little girls (all probably under 8) that were there came up to Elder Gessel and I and gave us like 10 hugs. It made me think. Even though they didn't know us they still had that love for us. Even though they're young they taught me to be kind and love everyone no matter who they are. It was a really good experience. 

I'm super grateful for the opportunity to be here and I love my Savior Jesus Christ. I'm grateful His sacrifice for us so we all can become like Him some day. Hope everyone has a good week love ya!

Here in the Philippines when you lose a game in FHE you have to do a talent, so I definitely wasn't going to sing so I did a lil dance which was really weird and awkward haha

The Gallardo family and some of their friends from my last area. Elder Hedman told me most of them have a baptismal date for next month wohoo

Jessica Batsan (someone me and Elder Hedman taught in my first area) got baptized last Saturday!
