Last Photo Of Elder Lomuntad and I Just left him at the airport and took off!

Hello,

 Wow so sorry about this for like the past 3 weeks our P-day has been moved. But we just had transfers so my Filipino companion Elder Lomuntad just got transferred. He went up north near Cains so ages away. But my new companion is Elder Parker he is from Tahiti he speaks French and Tahitian and is learning English he love to sing and has a good voice. I swear the lord is trying to teach me something every companion that I have had has a beautiful voice and sing all the time. Doesn't the lord know that I can't sing I'm trying and I have improved heaps but I won't have a voice of an angel. So yeah I'm really Excited to be with him. So a goal I have is to work hard, SNAP GRAVITY EVERYDAY, Love the lord with all my heart. Not much is happening in my area we have had like 4 people drop us and no one is progressing. Not really sure what more to do but to Find those the lord has prepared. I feel like my growth has been so slow lately. and I just want that to change. I want my very passions and desires to reflect my love for God. I need to let myself go fully to the lord. So that I can do his work and will. Stay close to god!

Dear, Family

 So sorry for not emailing we had  P-day on Wednesday today and we went to the temple. Wow this week has been so wonderful we got see Angela enter into the waters of baptism and it was a beautiful experience and bring to my soul such great joy to witness great miracles. I've come to understand the lord a bit more. It's through the ordinances that we see and preform that we are able to witness the beauty and simplicity of the lord. The lord works in purity and in light "That which is of god is light and he that receiveth light and continueth in god receiveth more light and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day." From the moments the gospel has been taught to Angela I've been able to see and witness the light of Christ work within her I've been able to literally see a new sense of energy and glow to her. I know that the lord he works in the light and it's by the light that we receive that we must walk by(2 Nephi 7:11) To be able to be apart of the light receiving and testimony building process is something that will forever impact my life. I also know that the lord will bless those who are obedient. The night of Angela's baptism Angela texted us expressing that Dylon's Father was going to take her to court for taking him to church and he absolutely didn't want Dylon to have anything to do with the church. This was devastating news to us Because just two night before he expressed to us that he wanted to be baptized as well he is only 7 but his desire to follow Christ and learn is inspirational. Angela exercised great faith and obedience to the commandments we been able to teach her the importance of raising your children up in righteousness and she was determined to do all she could so Dylon could come to church and be apart of it. That night Elder Lomuntad and I pleaded with the lord to soften the heart of Dylon's father. Well long story short Angela shared with us a text message he sent Expressing that he was sorry. We then read (1 Nephi 3:7) I know and have seen the lords keep his promise he gives us no commandment that we cannot keep. He will provide a way!

Dear, Family

   This week has been alright not much has happened. But I'm super Excited for next week. Next week is Angela Small's Baptism. From the time that we meet her Door-knocking at like 6:45 pm (It's almost like unwritten rule to go finding after 6:00 pm Here people are just super rude) But yeah from that time since she has been super solid she hasn't missed a single lesson. Every appointment we set up she was excited and ready. I remember the first time we had gone over we picked up a ball and started to play ball tag with the kids in the front yard. It's been such a great experience to have built such a great bond and relationship with her and her kids. It's been really cool to see and help the kids say prayers they come and sit next you, with their arms folded unable to focus and it take like 8 minutes to stay a like a 30 second prayer but to see these little things it brings such peace, graditude into my heart to see That these eternal principles applied and affect the lives of others.  Now she is going to experience some of the greatest joys in her life as she Enters into the gate of Baptism. She is starting one of the most incredible journeys of her life. It's been such a great blessing to have taught her. It's amazing to see the Gospel bring new life and Greater love into the Homes and Hearts of a Family. I'm grateful for the gospel and for the knowledge that I have being raised in the restored chuch!!! Thank you mom and dad for you love influence and for the gospel you have brought into my life.

              Love,
