Dear Family and Friends,
Everything is going well in the office. This last week we travelled to all of the apartments in the Santa Cruz and Siniloan areas. It took quite a while because there are some apartments that are pretty far out there by themselves. Siniloan is a really cool area. It's just a mixture of lakes and mountains. We had a really fun time with it while we tried to make the driving as entertaining as possible.
We also had the opportunity to travel around the mission and hear the great messages delivered by the assistants and President Mangum. Our mission's big focus has been on teaching pure doctrine clearly and simply. Now we are working on relating it to their lives so they can see how it will bless them personally. It's one thing to teach all the bullet points, but we need to help them realize why they need the Gospel in their lives. One thing that I really liked was said by President Mangum. He said, "It's not enough to just say that we know the church is true and that Jesus Christ is the Savior. Satan and all of his followers also know these things. We need to go beyond that and show it through the Spirit and apply these beliefs in our lives."
It was a really fun experience to be able to see all of my old companions and find out how they're doing now. Right now, we're going through our monthly filter runs. We text all of the areas and tell them that we're coming. Then they tell us what supplies they need. We go to SM (large department store) and buy all of the supplies and then spend the next day travelling through a specific zone changing filters and dropping off the supplies that they need. We always go through interesting experiences along the way and we get to check if other missionaries are cleaning their apartments or not.
Things are going well and the days go by even faster here in the office. Thanks for all of the support that you continue to show me!
