Monday: We taught Gxlen's sistre the plan of salvation. i really have wanted to help bring the gospel to Gxlen's family because i really want to strengthen their lives and their life as a family. so we taught Ayrlene the Plan of Salvation and it was crazy because as i was teaching i noticed that my tagalog was pretty good! like i think that was the cause of the headache that i had gotten during the lesson! but it was definitely probably because i really wanted to teach her and i have so much love for her so i think the Lord blessed me for that. but it was a great experience and the lesson went well and i think she will grow her desires in the gospel.

Tuesday: After the district meeting we had we taught the restoration to this Recent convert Dxonalin's cousins and brother and they were so quiet!!! the lesson was a liottle rough and we tried getting them to talk but it was so hard.
Wednesday: we helped this investigator eylinor who lost her bap date because of word of wisdom problems but we gave her a good lesson on repentance and talked with her and hopefully she changes! she is awesome! Also i taught a lesson without my kasama on the Restoration in pretty much mostly in Tagalog to another one of Gxlen's sisters Analiza! it was awesome! my comp was talkking to Ayrlene during but i just loved doing it by myself, Gxlen said somethings but i was pretty much by myself and im glad i was able to teach it and i hope to go back and teach her more. and after the lesson, she has a five month old baby i think who has a cold and so in the Philippines, i guess when someone is sick you lick your finger and mark an "X" or cross with the saliva on the person's stomache!! so weird so she asked us to do it to her baby! hahahaha! I straight up went all Rafiki in the cave where he marks the red paint on the drawing of simba on the Baby! (reference to the lion king of the crazy bamboon).
Thursday: Had zone interviews and taught this investigator April. Zone interviews took up a lot of our day and it was tiring caring a 17 kg or something like that case of book of mormons (40 lbs or something like that) good thing there was both me and my kasama so we could take turns.
Friday: We taught this old man who is liek 73 years old Lxope, and he is such a humble an awesome guy! we taught him the Restoration and he really seemed to like the message. i feel there are great things in store for him. he seems to have strong faith! We also taught Dxonalin's family who arent LDS and that was a good lesson too. on our way home we saw this Filipino who will give us free stuff and who LOVES Americans. that guy is awesome and he is so weird hahha.
Saturday: Studied charity and learned from the apostle paul that it is much deeper than imparting our substances to the poor and showing love. it really is also what we say and thinnk not just toward but about people. Adn if we always watch our thoughts, actions and words to make sure they are always loving then we will be able to become better disciples of christ and the Lord will have great things in store for us.
Sunday: I had probably the most spiritual experience with the Priesthood. We taught a lesson to this husband and wife Txoto and Jyonalele and we found out the txoto has a tumor in his head and is not doing well. and his having problems. We both were prompted to teach about the Plan of Salvation. after the lesson i felt prompted to give him a blessing but i didnt know if it was something i wanted to do or if it was a prompting from the Lord. We walked outside and i talked to my companion and we went back to give him a blessing and it truly was a prompting from the Lord to give him a blessing. I gave it in tagalog and english and after i gave it, he said he felt stronger and it was a miracle truly. and it really testified to me that the Priesthood is the Power of God. It really is the same power Christ used in his minstery to heal and ordain apostles and that same Priesthood has been restored in this Church. May we priesthood holders always strive to be worthy to exercise the Priesthood at any time.
I love you all so much and the Mission truly is not a sacrifice when you see how much blessings you receive from it. it truly has changed me and continues to change me. this is the Church of Jesus Christ, the true church. i say these things in the name of jesus christ, amen.
Love you all,
Elder Wright
