Kamusta kamo???!

Well This is going to be a relatively short email because tomorrow I get to skype you guys!!!!!!!! 

Well sad to hear that the Jazz season has come to an end, but it sounds like we gave it all we had and had a great season. I have loved getting updates every week. The future looks bright and I am sure that next season will be awesome! 

Well this week has been kind of crazy with meetings and all types of stuff! On tuesday we had a zone interview with pres cruz and on thursday we had Zone conference. This zone conference was great because it was with the Guimaras Zone and I got to get an update of my past area and it was awesome! I also really liked all the training that we got! I especially liked something that pres cruz showed us, the 90/10 rule. Which is something like 10% we cannot control what happens to us (like trials) but the 90% is how we react which is the difference maker and we can definitely control how we react! It was really cool, although I probably explained it bad, but it was a good training for me! 

And this last saturday we had another awesome baptism!!! The baptism of Jocelyn Jason! She is an awesome nanay that we have been teaching her and some of her kids for a long time, her faith has grown so strong and she wanted to be baptized to set the example for her family!! Ever since I have arrived in this area we have been teaching her, so like 3 and a half months, I am glad that she or we never gave up, because now she is so happy because she has received the gospel in her life! After she was baptized she bore and awesome testimony and cried pretty hard, it was so cool to see her testify that she knows that this is the true church! 

Well I will talk to you guys tomorrow!!!! Wahoo! I am excited!!

Palangga ko kamo!
