well I'll keep this one short again, but also sorry for the cheeks email last week hahah it was pretty weak sauce, I was just feeling way tamad.

it was such a good week and way productive!!

we moved houses, and that was kind of stressful, but also our new house is like low key astig haha, and plus now we have bikes so #hollaweareangbalisna

but also #masasiraangpwitko

 

that's in tagalog for a reason so if you have questions hahah, but life is good on the mission. Christmas here is way better than in America, everyone is like crazy freakin nice, we got our trikes paid for like 4 times this week and one time it was like 30 pesos which is mad expensive, but the Christmas spirit is strong here

our two most progressing families are called the Ysit (pronounced e-sit) family, and the Robles family.. they are both so beautiful and amazing... and the Halog family as well, they are family we have been talking to for a while and progress is kind of stalled... but anyways love you all so much and wish you all a Merry Christmas...please try and keep Christ center to your lives..

This week was awesome!!! definitely one of the top weeks of the transfer...and the weird thing was that nothing really super eventful happened except just good solid missionary work... but for some reason I just had such a good time!
First, this less active family that we found on accident came to church yesterday which was awesome! they want there son who is about to turn 8 to be baptized, so that's exciting... we also taught this Norwegian guy named Tom!  It was really really weird speaking in English.

Looking forward to the next week and Christmas conference !!  First, we found out its in Baguio so that's very exciting.. I'm looking forward to another week of grinding and finding joy in the blessing that is missionary work..

Well well well!!! much to my surprise me and elder Dacayanan are back at it again for one more transfer!!! I'm excited for the opportunity to keep learning from him and I'm excited to finally finish my training haha! but anyways in terms of this week, it was a really good week!! we are really trying to shift our focus to working with members and through part member families and its been a super cool experience... Also its helping us build our relationship with the ward and get them excited about missionary work! 

Through working with members we already have a whole family of 8 people that are listening the gospel.. they were taught by the missionaries way back in the day and have this ancient Book of Mormon... which is beautiful, they are so amazing and I'm so excited to see where we go with them!! 

and also!! we extended Mark baptismal date!!! we did it yesterday after church, and he said he wants to pray about it first. but I'm confident that he will get an answer, he has such a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon and his faith is so strong...and I'm so excited for him!!

so that's about it for this week!! I'm excited for the coming transfer!! we have so very promising people that are right on the horizon...I'm excited to be working with elder Dacayanan again and learning from him still...I just don't want him to be tired of me after 18 weeks together hahaha. 

but yeah man I love this area and I love this work and I'm excited to see whats in store for us this transfer

love elder snow
