The ward
up here is awesome. Last week, we had over 150 people attend sacrament
meeting. Probably in part because of the new year. (Lots of new years
resolutions to get back to church haha).
It is awesome to see
all of the changes from the Prophet being applied now. It is awesome to
see how the work really is hastening even out here in relatively new
wards and branches. The church is led my truly inspired men, and I love
it. It is an awesome time to be on earth and be a part of this
incredible work.
This week, I met a bunch of our
investigators. They are awesome. It is a little bit different than my
last area. People up here in Baguio are a lot more educated. And lots of
them actually speak really good English. It feels super weird to start
teaching in English now. And Taglish is definitely a real language. It
has become my favorite language. I am very conversational because if I
don't know a word, I just try to say it with a filipino accent and they
will understand what I am saying haha.
Our area up here is
also super different. We walk everywhere (my last area was a biking
area). But we basically just hike here. We walk up thousands of stairs a
day. I counted one time just on our way home and lost count somewhere
around 800 stairs that we climbed. But, I love it. Rumor has it that the
more stairs we climb, the better looking our wife will be :)
Man
I love all of you guys. I love the examples that you are to me and the
help you have been in my life. I love the gospel and the chance that I
have to share it here for a short 2 years. It really is the most
important thing that we can be a part of here in this life. Love you all
and I keep you all in my prayers.
Love Elder Thomas
-I will send more pictures next week. The computers this week could not send them
