Week 78

Hello po Friends and Family,

This week was pretty great, filled with lots of surprisingly spiritual experiences, which I would love to share with you all, but through my poor writing skills and lack time, I shall have to just tell you them all when I am home, WHICH is in only 6 months away BTW.(not that I am counting) haha

BUT, We have been blessed with lots of success with our progressing Investigators, we were able to give lots of life changing blessings to people, and I have seen changes in myself only because of my studies of our perfect example of Jesus Christ. I KNOW him and LOVE him.

and now to the pics.

I saw this MASTERPIECE on the streets of Urdaneta. It is my Spirit animal

 

They have Shakey's Pizza here and Elder Parker, the Korean, treated us out before he transferred out of the Office. (He is the one in the very back left).

This is Elder Barredo and he is also my companion right now....AGAIN. Back in Mabini he was with me and now I'm back with him!! He says I have changed a lot though out the mission, Like not necessarily for the better, but I have changed, he said. so lol

Our investigators sometime have a hard time saying Elder Obias' name so they just call him Elder UVAS, which means grapes. lol

Love Elder Terry.

Week 77

kamusta na kau dyn.

This week we got to work every single day because we finished our office work, which doesn't sound that amazing.....BUT IT WAS. 😂

Some updated info about what is going on with me.

BTW this is my companion right now, Elder Barredo, and as you know he was my followup trainer back in the old days in Mabini, and he is training the new Finance office worker right before he goes home. As you can see he really loves me and is sad to say goodbye to me.

We in the office so we go on road trips all the time. As you see here we going straight into the wall just like in Harry Potter.

We of course proselyte at night and we found these Golden Investigator puppies.

This is where we live which is the nicest house in the mission (called the BIG HOUSE), and it's big because all the new arriving and departing missionaries sleep here often. #SPOILED

I love Y'all

Week 76

Hello Friends and Family,

This week was interesting because there was a Typhoon that rolled by our mission and because we are here in Urdaneta, the one part of our mission that really doesn't flood ,we were totally fine, BUT some sister missionaries were evacuated from chest high floods and some other Elders who live near a dam had to take a boat to get off their roof. lol.

Good news is that there were no injuries, no deaths, and I got to help evacuate some members from their flooded house on a Sunday, in P-Day Clothes which was pretty fun.

But for real, we love and take care of all the missionaries here in this mission because President Espinosa is always thinking about us.

Love you all, keep the Philippines in your prayers.

Elder Terry

Week 75

This week has been of course another great week but surprisingly filled with difficulties I never thought missionaries had to go through. Being here in Urdaneta and hearing, witnessing and being a part of some of the most difficult situations that missionaries go through is really spiritually and emotionally demanding.

Of course as well with a new president with lots and changes coming up it always keeps me on my toes. Of course I can't go into details because it is personal matters, but I can say the thing keeping my going every day is obedience to the rules and laws established here in the mission because it honestly just makes me a happier person and I know it is the will of God.

The Missionary friendships I also make are pretty awesome so...here are some of them.

I worked with Elder Mendez his first day here in Urdaneta Mission a bit back and he is cool because he looks Filipino, but he is actually Mexican. (woah)

These are my friends that I work with pretty often in the office Elder Barredo, Elder Stevens, and Elder Engar.

My anak (trainee), Elder Davad, is now training my Grand Kid, Elder Welker. I love my fam.

And this is just some other kid named Elder Harris who is the only person who puts up talking to me, but he is now on the other side of the mission.

Love, Elder Terry
