A Child's Prayer, Powerful Testimonies, & Happy Mother's Day!!!

Hello Family and Friends!
It's my 2nd Monday here in Lupao!!!
Our Week was really Great! Our Lessons last week increased a little.
I am now more familiar with the People here,(Leaders, Members, Recent Converts, Less Actives,& Investigators)
We are focusing our One Investigator He is 9 Years old, and has a Baptismal Goal Date on the 30th. Well, when I first met him, I was like ( A Kid? I'm pretty sure, we'll be having a hard time teaching him)
But, I was wrong! He's really Smart! at his age He reads really fast and understood what he reads.
He Prays Powerfully! He Prayed for his Baptism, and for his Family that they may also accept the Gospel in their Lives. Well., He's really Awesome! I already Love this Kid.
And also, Yesterday was Fast & Testimony Sunday.
As I listen to the Member's Testimonies, 2 people caught my Attention An 18 Year Old Former Less Active Brother Bore one of the most Powerful Testimonies I've ever heard, He also wants to help his Family to be active again and to be sealed. He paused, and Cried. The Spirit was really Strong.
Also, a 23 year old Sister who's leaving to serve a Mission, She bore her Simple, but Powerful Testimony about the Blessings of Missionary Work, The Restored Gospel, & as a soon to be Full Time Missionary. I was touched by these 2 Testimonies. They strengthened my Testimony.
Also, Yesterday was the Pacqiao Fight, We only had 50 people at the Church because most of the members choose to watch it. I heard that Mayweather Won??? Hahahaha.
Well, what's Done is Done!
Anyways Mother's Day is coming near! I would like to greet Every Amazing Mom, A Haappy Mother's Day!!! especially to Myrna Borup, and Veronica Ordejan! I Love You both!!!!
We are allowed to skype next Monday!!! Please do skype me!!!

GOODBYE BONGABON, HELLO LUPAO!!!

Hello Family and Friends!!!
Yes, you're right! I got transferred last Thursday.
My Companion is ELDER WEBSTER he's 8 months old in the Field. And He's my Senior Companion. He was called to be our District Leader. (All of my companions were District Leaders)
He's really a Great Missionary, His last companion was not really obedient. And his Tagalog was really good. He's kinds stressed about being a Senior Companion (It's his first time) and also being a District Leader (also his first time). He's also scared of OYM'ing. 
I am now in Lupao!
It's one of the the furthest Area in the Philippines Angeles Mission.
where 80% of the People here speaks ILOCANO!!! It's Crazy!!!
We have a Brgy. here that's 15 feet away from the Borders of the Philippines Urdaneta Mission!!!!
Anyways, The Ward was really Amazing! They gave me a warm welcome...
Yesterday after the Sunday Service We had a Ward Lunch in one of the Members house.
It was really Fun! The Members here are really nice! 
And We also have members who work with us. (What's funny, We badly need members to work with us in order to translate our Tagalog to Ilocano)
Man! Ilocano's really a Hard Language to learn! I can just speak the Basics.
Good thing I met 4 Ilonggo's here! haha
How I Miss my First Area! It's really different from Lupao.
I remember when I said my Last Goodbye to the Members and Recent Converts in my Last Area.It was really emotional... Tears are falling. I will never ever forget the People in my last area. I learned a lot from them, I changed a lot, and I also experienced Real Growth.
Transfers are Transfers. I know that there's Reason why....
And Faith is what we need to Find new People here in my 2nd Area...
Faith to Hope, Believe, and Act... Well, I am excited to work in my 2nd Area.
And I will do my very very Best to serve Him...
That's all for Today!!!
