well well!!! my first area in the books. it was one heck of a ride and it about broke my heart 
to have to say good bye to the people. I’m gonna be honest president, I didn’t know that
I could come to love a people so much...but I’m happy on the note I left on. I just hope 
I was able to show that to them with my service

but on a better note. I got to San Fernando safe and sound and got set up with Elder Blad. 
The guy seems like the man!!! he is so cool. and upon arriving at the computer shop we 
figured out that we were actually in the same ward when we were kids. and my parents 
taught him primary!!! small world especially in the mission.

one of the high lights this week was that Queenies mom came to church!!! for the first time!! 
it was so so amazing to watch her face as she felt the spirit... I was so glad I got to see it 
before I transferred.   Also we got to do lots of service this week!!! it was a blast!!!  it really 
helps all the people involved.  The person serving and the person being served  feel the 
love of Christ. It’s a beautiful thing...

in terms of this next transfer I’m am looking forward to learning a lot with Elder Blad 
and hoping I can be a good instrument in the Lords hands.

hey momma... I know that you like emails better, I'm not sure why hahah because we get to talk face to face but because i love you I'll indulge you hahaha.

I'm not sure what else you want to here so I will just give you a rundown of my whole week.

Tuesday: Tuesday was the day of sick. it was a rough day... I threw up 6 times in 5 hours. it was a hard day...but just Tuesday. and then on Tuesday night it claimed elder Wihongi. it was rough for him too.

Wednesday: we just stayed in and rest to make sure we were all good.

Thursday: we were back at work. and I'm gonna be honest right now I forgot my planner at home and I cant remember all we did this week. but was a good week none the less.

as I am coming up on transfers and my time here in Agoo is coming to an end. I reflect and I just wanna share how i feel.  I have...never ever loved a people more than I love the people in this ward...and if I am being honest, I have put my blood, lots of tears, and lots and lots and lots of sweat here. and I really really hope, I have done all the things that the Lord has had for me to do here. i certainly have grown more in the last 6 months than i have my whole life...the biggest thing  I have learned is about the Atonement...there is a video by Jeffery R Holland that I love that pretty well sums up my feelings. I'll send it later,  but I just know that we are all loved so so much, and it's our job to share to others.

I love you mom

This week was as solid as ever with not to much to report on! Our focus this week was on trying to progress Queenie towards baptism. And its pretty amazing to see the effect of keeping the commandments take shape in people's lives and we are so excited for this up coming week for her. One of the hardest things that she is working on is coming to church and she is always very quiet during lessons.  But we are going to keep working with them.

With our other people we are just trying to get them to church, that is really our next step

We have another family of four that is a part member, and they are so solid... they made it a goal to come to church every Sunday this month and they haven't missed one yet. The hard part is that the only time we are able to teach them is after church, and also the husband has a really tough coffee problem. We are looking for alternatives for him but he is very lactose intolerant so all of the supplements that he could use make him very sick.  we will keep searching for options.

Ever since zone conference we have been focusing on really not focusing to much on people that are not interested and to really work smarter and try and refine our teaching pool. In doing so we have met so many cool people that are ready to listen...
 
As I see the progress in this area that I have come to love so much, it makes me sad that my time here, will eventually come to an end. I love the people here so much, and I hope I will be able to accomplish all the Lord wants me to do.

oh yeah I hit my 6 months mark like sometime last week

This week was an amazing week.. zone conference was such a good experience, and I don't know what else to say than to say, I received so many answers to my questions that I've had for a while!

We went through and reaffirmed our purpose with all of our teaching pool and we were very bold, with why we were there...it was amazing because we were able to really tell who was interested and who wasn't super interested. and it made it easier to see who we should maybe visit less

We also were bold and extended an invitation to be baptized (IBD) to Queenie Ysit!!! and she excepted to be baptized on Feb 15th.  She seemed very excited to actually become a member... I guess she has been saying to everyone at church that she wanted to but she was just shy...so we are going to continue to help her progress!!! we are so excited for what this opens up for her family to really focus on progressing them all towards baptism.

Also this week we got to teach the Quintos family for the second time...and its amazing!! They are a part member family of 5! The mother is the only member but they are all very determined to come to church every week. Even though they haven't been since the days of Elder Villiapas and they are also all determined to progress towards baptism...

All the progress in this area is so amazing... and I'm so so excited to see it...but also its kind of bitter sweet. because there is a chance I might not be here to witness it all, but what ever happens is going to be the will of the Lord and I can't wait to see everyone I have come to love progress...

Anyways life in the mission is all good!! also I love my kabahay!! 2 kiwi's make for a really good time always and it's just such a joy to be a missionary. 

I love you all so much and please email me, I love to hear from you.
