I don’t have corona virus

This week we stayed inside a lot but now we have not gotten sick in the past 2 weeks so we can go see people again and we are really trying to push service now to get out and see people. So hopefully that works. We started playing basketball every other morning so I’m going to get super good hopefully. And yesterday a member gave us some homemade pickles so thats pretty cool. I love you all bye bye

Kind of Quarantined

So this week we visited someone who later got tested positive for the virus so we are bo longer visiting people in person again for one more week! Woohoo it hasnt changed a ton of what we do. We call a lot of people everyday so i could be at a call center. We also started making a lot more monkey noises this week. Me and some other elders are going to make calls and codes for playing basketball so we can speak monkey to each other when we play basketball. Other than that we had some really good virtual lessons this week its pretty cool how even when you are awkward over the phone you can still have some spiritual experiences!! we invited someone to be baptised and someone to keep the word of wisdom so the work is still going!! I think im going to try learning how to play the banjo so if anyone has anytips on that please help. But first I’ll need to find a banjo...

Anywho i love you all and i know the church is true!! Bye bye

Leg day

This week was pretty crazy compared to last week. We had interviews and stuff which made me kind of sad that we are getting a new mission president next month. And we had transfers and now one of my companions is leaving. But im staying in woodland. Also i thought it would be funny to say leg day because this week we got put into a quad. If you thought a trio was weird, teaching as a quad is pretty weirder. Also we dont have 4 desks or beds so i slept on the floor one night. But then we got a new bed so thats good. And now we are back down to 3. Im also slowly going back to my rice every meal diet. Because there are too many options here in america so im simplifying. Also we taught some in person lessons this week which was awesome! It is much less awkward sometimes in person. So we are so blessed. I love you all bye bye

This is an agave

And some sunflower fields

Wheelie wheelchair

This week was pretty normal you know we chill in the church all day with some other elders trying to talk to people and teach lessons. We had some exchanges but it was funny cause my comp went to the other area that also comes to the church and works so we were still all together. Kind of fun. Also the church has a wheelchair so i sit on a wheel chair all day its pretty fun ive gotten really good at wheelies. Im learning Indonesian so thats fun and i remembered how important it is to love the people you teach it changes the lessons so much and is way better! But thats really hard when you never have seen them and you only talk on the phone. Anywho love you all bye! Have a good week. 

Yolo

Hi everyone I don't know if you all still want these emails but I'm still going to send them... I am now in the California Santa Rosa mission and I'm assigned in a town called woodland in Yolo County so that's cool. It's like super flat here so no mountains and no ocean but it's okay. We go to a family history center everyday and try to teach people and find on Facebook and it's weird. It's like the opposite of the Philippines but it is still pretty fun. This week a member of the area presidency came and talked to us on zoom it was really awesome! He really helped change my attitude about all of this and I'm really grateful for it! He also spoke a lot about how Jesus really is our brother and that means he lo es us sooo much and so we can take great comfort in that. I love you all and I'm glad to be a missionary again bye bye!
