So yeah! I'm here in the big CITY OF SAN FERNANDO! Where all your areas are resorts and bars. Hahahaha! The very known word here in SFLU? #JUNCTION

Well, it's nice to work here in SFLU, a lot of folks to talk to and people who wants to know about the Church. What can you expect? The Church seems so secretive but it shares it secrets by us.. 'Missionaries'

I'm just grumpy, not a joe. 

sister lopez in her last month! woooahh! 

the DISTRICT!

 

Last week we played rugby-touch with the office elders. dang! I missed playing sports, the feeling when you're really tired and exhausted and still you wanna push harder (Kinda like Missionary work too! :D) But yeah, after the game, my body aches a lot and my can't move my back that much because of too much dive and crashing to elder tavita. (see the big guy at the right? yea! the one bigger than me. Hahaha!)

 

Well, last week was really rainy, and we we're told to go home early. So because I was bored, I just wrote a lot of letter to my friends. Haha! hopefully they will reply. dang, you know the feeling when it happen.

I've been pondering about life lately. Actually, we've been invited to attend a funeral service of Sister Mamaril who passed away last week. I don't know but it made me missed my family much. It's not that I wanted to go home or what.. But it made me missed them a lot, to the extent that I wanted to spend quality time with them like right now... I've been thinking about the time where I was asked and commissioned to preach love and to show love to every one here in the mission field, however I feel like I wasn't been the kindest son, nephew, uncle, or grandson in my family. I pity myself for not loving my family enough. I pity myself for not spending time with them.. It makes me feel that I've been a failure to myself and my family..

A lot of people would say that ''family is their treasure''. And now that I learned how to do that, I really want it so bad to show them and made them feel that I love them. I really can say that mission will build us up. That mission will be a reflection of what we lack. And to that, I really am grateful. As long as I am still here in the mission field, I will love everyone the way I want to love my family. 

Love your family, love them while they're still there.

 

 

Week 3 (Special Transfer) ~ Week 4 and 5 ~ Week 6 (TRANSFER)

Yooossshhh! 

 

 

At last, I'm able to write something here. Haha, pardon me for not writing anything for past few weeks. I'm can't seem to think the words that I need to put here. Haha, anyways, yes! We had a special transfer for that week and it's really dang good. Elder Thomas, who happens to be my companion and Elder Brimhall (Elder Apuhin's companion) got transferred to another area. No, don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't like them to be with, it's just.. I don't know.. Really complicated :3 Well, my companion's really trunky, so I think the branch did also see that and from what I heard, they requested to replace him instead of me. I think that what President Wilbon did, was probably the best thing for everyone. The Branch doesn't like him, and he don't like the branch either. So I guess, it's a win-win situation. Haha, 

So, Elder Solera came in to be my companion. Woah! He's my 16th companion now. Woohooo! He's really funny and kind too. Elder Apuhin's companion is Elder Calo, the same 'Calo' who trained my batch. Oh, by the way, Elder Urbano came in as well. He's with Elder Acido who's our Zone Leader. Well, the epic thing is, we all been assigned in Bangued Zone. And everyone of us can share stories how cool that area is.  

 

Well, everything came really fast. I didn't really think that transfer is coming again. yes, this is week 6 and we know what week 6 is. Not that I'm trunky, but I really hate the feeling when you're about to leave the area. It's hard, really hard. feels like I'm leaving a lot of family. Gonna leave a lot of part of me. Daaang. My companion asked me if I'm still not used of this kind of thing, about getting transfer and leaving the area. I told him that I will never get used to this. It's really hard, how can you leave your family? I can't think of a reason to do that. But I remember a quote saying that, ''all good things must come to an end''. Yea, I don't know, that quote suddenly came to my mind when I'm about to break down and cry. Hahaha! not really. But yea, It's part of mission life, but not with eternity, 😁😁

 

I'm getting transferred to San Fernando Ward with Elder Pecaoco. He's from Bacolod and really a good missionary.

TRANSFER PICTURES!

 

( My MTC District Leader sent me a Hi note, Haha! talk about effort!)

I truly testify that if you just enjoy your mission, in the best possible way that you can, 24 months or 18 months would be really fast. There's a lot of thing this experience has to offer, and it's within your grasp if you're going to enjoy it or get rid of it. Of course, the best option is to enjoy it. I've been with these folks for about 5 months now, and everytime I think about the time I got here, all I can think about is that IT"S REALLY FAST! Enjoy the field, enjoying the field with the Spirit! 

 

God knows best 😁
 

That's all folks.

All love from your homie.
