Dear Family and Friends,
So first of all, there has been a few changes for me this past week. Some things happened, and in this situation, some transfers were necessary. I was informed that I will be leaving the office off-cycle this coming week, so next week I'll be in a new area with a new companion. I am happy for the opportunity to return to the usual missionary schedule and work, but I do feel sorry for Elder Costales since he has been getting the crash course of how to do all of the work in the office and is still working on his driving. He has a really positive attitude and I know that he'll do a great job. So I will let you all know how my new area is next week!
One of the few negatives about serving in the Philippines is that we get general conference a week later than everyone else. So I get to hear all of the excitement and reports a week before we get to watch it, but it really just adds to the anticipation. I'm really looking forward to it since it will be my last general conference in the mission, and there are lots of questions that I'm looking forward to getting answered. It's been really important for me to remember that if we put in the proper preparation, we are entitled to receive revelation for the things that we need. It's definitely one of the greatest things that we should be taking advantage of.
We experienced a miracle in our work this week. We have been visiting a member for a while who has problems attending church because of his work. I turns out that the assistants were also looking for a member and found out that they actually live right next to each other and that they work at the same place. We had just never seen him because we always visit later in the evening. They said that they're going to help each other figure out their schedules so that they can come to church together.
Everything else is going well and I'm definitely a little anxious about my new area and companion but also really excited to get out and work. Thanks again for all of your advice and support!
