More news!

So we got like three letters today! :) He says he is feeling better but still a little sick! He says Adam made it and they "balled it up!" He had his second T.A. (teaching appointment) Its where you teach volenteers, he says, "they always go great! You feel the spirit so much!" Now I will just put in some things he said... "The language is so hard. it is starting to come a little bit! My companion is still awesome everyone is still good! Some days are good and some are bad, but I just have to remember why I am here! But I love it!" He told us this awesome story so here ya go, "I was at this place called the RC (referal center) Its where people call to order free stuff. So this man named Steven called! I could tell he was confused about many things! He called to order a video. For some reason I decided to ask Steven what he thought about God and Jesus Christ! He went on to tell me there was no such thing. Our conversation went on for about an hour. I told Steven what I knew about God and Jesus Christ. I pretty much gave him the first disscussion! When the call was about over I asked Steven what he was thinking? He said for some reason he knew what I was saying was true! He also told me he thought there was a greater power and I asked him to pray and ask for the truth! He said he would and he also said he would let the missionary's come over and teach him! :) I honestly think it was one of the most happy moments that I have ever had in my life! I know that he was there and called me for a reason!" He says sometimes he feels like giving up, but then he remembers what Jesus did for him and he totally changes his mind! He watched a talk given by Elder Holland called A Miracle of a Missionary. He says you WILL regret not going on a mission but i can almost garentee you wont if you do! Also if you are home sick it is normal in fact if you aren't then there is something wrong with you! :) He goes on to tell it is great there, but the hardest work he has ever done! But he loves it! He wrote an e-mail saying he help a friend of his stay at the MTC. He says he could not imagine himself anywhere else but where he is! He wrote us his testimony in Tagalog so here it goes, "Alam ko na buhay si Jesucristo at ama sa langet. Alam do na mga anak ng Diyos tayo. Alam do na sagleta ng Diyos Aklatni Mormon. Alam ko na propeta ng doyos sina Jeseph Smith at Thomas S Monson sa Pangolan ni Jesucristo. Amen." It translates in to, "I know Jesus Christ and our Father in heaven live. I know that we are all children of God. I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I know Joseph Smith and Thomas S Monson are Prophets of God. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. He finishes his letters with "Mahal Kita Tayo!" Meaning I love you! He says he misses everyone but is enjoying this adventure to the fullest! I love and miss him lots!
