Bagong aria ko

Hello every one,
This week has been crazy getting to know the area Sunday we had stake conference. The last stake conference of President and Sister Bangal, so that was sad. We sung in the choir, that that was good. On Tuesday I  taught my first lesson in English so that was fun because it was actually kinda hard. So ya this was crazy. Today we went hiking as a district, and had fun there
Sorry this week was short I'm short on time Thank you all for your support
I invite you all to listen to general conference this weekend and enjoy the words of a living prophet

Saturday we got a call half way through personal study asking if we could help clean an old elders apartment that they were going to start using again. We said yes we show up and the place is nasty. They had not been cleaning when they were there then they left it for 6 weeks with no one living in it. So that was great cleaning that. We then returned and got ready we had a good lesson with brother Dioney we then went went and had an amazing FHE at Jarid and Joeys house brother Joey had invited to mom and siblings without telling us so we had a great lesson there. I then got told I would be transferred and started packing.
Sunday we had a amazing sacrament serves brother Randy came to church we then had the setting apart of Joey as a priest and he was given the Aaronic priesthood it was amazing. We then went and visited all the members and investigators to say good bye to them all.
Thank you all for every thing you do this weeks spiritual thought comes from Mosiah 8 17-18
17 But a seer can know of things which are past, and also of things which are to come, and by them shall all things be revealed, or, rather, shall secret things be made manifest, and hidden things shall come to light, and things which are not known shall be made known by them, and also things shall be made known by them which otherwise could not be known.

18 Thus God has provided a means that man, through faith, might work mighty miracles; therefore he becometh a great benefit to his fellow beings.
The lord has called a prophet seer and revelation in the time now and I know that the prophet Russell M Nelson is the prophet of God. I love this church I know it is true God has given the authority the priesthood to us to help us bless the lives of others. my invitation to you all is to study the words of the prophets prepare to here from them again and look for ways to help all the people that are around you every day even just a little ways.
Thank you all for all the support love and questions feel free to ask me questions and send me emails I love hearing about how things are back home
