I don't know if you heard or not, but our mission home is moving in December. I think for now they're still receiving
letters and things sent over there, but the new address is this:
Philippines Angeles Mission
F. Tanedo Street
Tarlac, Tarlac 2300
Philippines
COMMENT FROM MOM:(WHO MOVES A MISSION HOME IN DECEMBER WHEN THAT IS THE MONTH THEY PROBABLY GET THE MOST PACKAGES?)
It's also good to hear about the other Elder Blackham (Bret), every once in a while we stay in contact. He seems to be doing well, definitely being humbled. The mission is such a humbling experience. I've realized all that I
can't do, and have been so humbled by the things that I've seen and the people that I've met. I've learned how to find happiness in the midst of trials. I know that he's been able to find that, and it only comes from turning out and turning to the Savior.
The week was a good one, my companion and I are doing well! This was our most productive week and next week has an even brighter hope of being better! I love the idea of "better". Whoever and wherever we are, we have the hope of becoming better.
Sunday as usual, was my favorite day. After church we were able to work with President Gonzales in the area close to his house and taught sister Cardinoza. She is so stoked for her baptism, and it so neat to see how anxious she is to join the church. She loves the church services and says that she really feels a difference in our church. I know that it's true, we were able to teach her about the book of Mormon, she believes that it's the word of God and committed to pray to know with a surety that it was true. We were also able to work with the elders quorum president who took us to a few of his friends houses where we began teaching a few new families. I love the power of the gospel, it's a light that cannot be dimmed!
