Dear Family and Friends,
It’s been another great week here in Alaminos, and it’s really hard to believe how fast the days are flying past. We had the great opportunity to get out and visit some families this week in our ward just to check up on them and to see how they’re doing. It’s amazing to see all of the sacrifices that they make every day to be able to live the gospel. We talked to one brother who simply doesn’t eat lunch so that he can have enough money to take his family to church with him every Sunday. He said he just thought about something that he doesn’t absolutely need so that he would be able to follow the commandments. It was a really cool experience.
We have just been sticking to our regular routine and traveling around quite a bit to make sure everyone has clean water and that they have all of the supplies that they need. We did have the opportunity to travel out to Lopez, Quezon (about a four hour drive) to drop off a new refrigerator. That means that I’ve traveled the whole mission except the island of Marinduque. I always try to tell myself that we’re lucky to be able to see the whole mission while we’re going through the long hours in the truck. It does get really tiring sometimes though.
Things have been going great and everyone here is just really excited for Elder Nelson’s arrival. It’s still not for another month, but I think everyone is realizing how special of an opportunity it is. There have already been a few security checks at the mission home to make sure that everything is up to par. We’re all super excited!
Everything is going well and we’re continuing to see miracles every day in every aspect of our work. Thank you for all of your advice and support!
