This week has 
been great even though it is super hot and I got really sun burned and I
 am really red in the face and arms. I am still living and loving the 
mission life, even though I'm tired a lot and always hot and want to 
give up, the Lord didn't give up.  He taught his gospel to the people even
 when they rejected him and crucified him.  He did it because he loves 
us all and his children and brothers and sisters.  Like me, I love the 
people here in the Philippines.  
I learn so much every day and I get to
 meet new people every day and share a message I know to be true that can
 change lives like the BAPTISM we had this week (YEAAAAAAA), I can see 
how much she has changed, how much this gospel can change the lives of 
others.  I see  how happy she is and how much she loves and knows herself 
that this church is true. Her testimony is so strong and she said 
when she was baptized she felt clean, like a new person and started a 
new life and gave up her old life. Her name is Bella pablo Benito and 
she is the most friendliest Nanay ever and she is such a happy person 
now. I love sharing the gospel with others and telling others about the 
gospel of Jesus Christ. 
Our investigators are great and we hopefully 
should having two more baptisms in July on the 18th, we will try to do 
the best we can and the lord will do the rest for us, and the spirit 
will testify to them that what we share is true. The biggest thing that 
we can share is our testimony, that is something that know one can 
testify against, fight against, or argue with. Our testimony can touch the
 hearts of others and the spirit will testify to others of the truth and
 that what we share is true. I can see how much the Lord prepares us and he knows when they are 
ready and not. 
The mission life is not easy, it's a different life and 
even though some go home, they deserve the biggest respect, it's not 
easy, I have had times that I have said I hate this and I want to go 
home, it's not easy and it will never be easy but salvation was never a 
cheap experience.  The Lord died for us and we need to give ourselves 
to him. I don't like when people judge others about when missionaries
 come home they shouldn't do that.  I would like them to try this.  But the
 mission life is great and I love the work of the lord and changing lives of others and helping others come unto Christ. The Atonement 
of Jesus Christ is for everyone to become clean and become new.  We need 
his atonement everyday and we are not perfect and god knows that, that's
 why he gave his son to us to die for us, so we can come back to him. So
 we as members and missionaries need to give a little of our time to him
 and we need to be good examples to others and share the gospel with others, something we all know to be true and can change lives. 
It
 sounds like you guys are having a great week, and you know how I feel 
now, really hot and always sweating and tired and hot with lots of 
mosquito bites.  You guys are getting ready for a really fun trip, 
that will be really exciting and fun to see some old history sites. I 
hope you are all safe and staying happy and having a fun summer.  I miss 
you all so much and am praying for you always. Ingat po kayo palagi at 
mabuhay sa pilipinas. 
Alam ko po na mahal tayo ng 
diyos at lahat tayo ng mga anak nd diyos, at gusto ng diyos lahat yung 
anak niya makabalik tayo sa kanya. Alam ko na si jesucristo siya ang 
ating tagapagligtas natin at namatay po siya para sa atin, lahat tayo 
maging malinis yung mga kasalanan natin at maging magligtas tayo. Alam 
ko salita ng diyos ang aklat ni mormon at totoo po siya. Alam ko na 
nagbayad-sala ni jesucristo para sa mga kasalanan natin at tayo maging 
malinis. Alam ko na yung pamilya natin maging walang hanggan siya. 
(A short testimony para sa inyo)
