Kumusta po kayo lahat hello everyone made it here in the Phillippines okay what long flights we had to get here so first after i get done saying hello and goodbye to everyone (sorry i didnt call grandma and grandpa i didn't have my address book to get there numbers) so i hung out with sio for a little while then i get on the plane so then i get on there so then i got to sit by sister walker and this guy we didnt know me and sister walker sat by each other the whole way there too the Phillippines so anyway
so this guy i was sitting next to asked me a question or two about who i was and what i was doing and asked if i was mormon and i replied i am then i told him i ll be gone for 2 years away from my family preaching the gospel then we talk some more about our church i asked him what his religious beliefs were he said he is catholic and a devoted one at that he proceeded to tell me his children had friends who are mormon and really likes our culture and how we have high standards and said in this world were morals are almost non existent he really likes how we conduct our selves then he asked us some other standards we have then i told him about how we wait till we are married till we have sexual relations and about the word of wisdom how joseph smith received revelation about that way before we were able to know how tea tobacco would effect our bodys cool thing right then he asked has my other family member served missions i told them about makayla and logan how they served missions and how they loved it when i talked more i told him about how god is our loving heavenly father and that he is our father and he loves us so much he gave us more prophets i told him it makes more sense that god would give us more prophets he gave prophets such as adam noah moses jesus christ there has been many prophets on the earth so i told him it makes more sense to me that he would give us another one and guides us today then i tell him about how we have
the plan of salvation told him we lived with our father in heaven then how we come to this earth to receive bodys and we have a veil so we dont remember so we can make our own choices cause we have free will or agency then i told him about the point of being here is to get ready to meet god and the purpose of our temples i asked him if he is married he said he was happly for 20 plus years and i told him in our temples he would be able to be sealed to his wife for all time and eternity i told him that his whole family could be sealed to him then i continue to tell him after we die we either got to spirit prison or paradise and told him that those who were not following the commandments and the rules of the world such as obeying laws go to paradise then those who break all the rules and wicked go to spirit prison where they have a chance to hear the gospel and change in that place then i told him about how we are then resurrected in our perfected bodys i also told him anyone with any illness or physical problems would be cured then i told him we are judged for our lives and sent to 3 diffrent heavens or kingdoms then i told him the meaning of the 3 different heavens then he asked me what if my wife was unfaithful to me he asked me that a few times through the time i was explaining the plan of salvation i told him she had a chance to change if she did and if your both living the gospel she most likely wont cheat on you then he asked what if she is unfaithful and i am faithful then i told him he would be able to visit her if he wanted but she couldn't visit him in the highest kingdom
then we talked some more and told him we believe in a trinity that god jesus christ and the holy ghost is 3 sepret beings
He really enjoyed listing to me and i just talked to him for the last 15 minutes until we landed he told me to vote for romney haha it was pretty funny and encouraged everyone to vote for him got off the plane and we went our seperet ways and then sister walker kind of bragged about how good i was at teaching and everyone was asking me about it she said she was proud of me haha
then when we got off the plane at lax elder browns mom directed us around talk about an confusing airport so we get to the right gate and get on the plane from LAX to HK then were on that plane ride for 15 hours i think slept for 8 and awake the rest then me and sister walker talked for most the flight we became close friends then man next to me asked me who i was and what i was doing told him about our church and we only talked for 10 minuets but it was still good then we got of the plane and straight to the gate to the plane to manila then we get there and already loading we get on the plane and start flying me and sister walker flew by each other again BTW by the way i got the middle seat every time go figure huh
the guy next to me asked about me and what i was doing in the Phillippines told him about the plan of salvation and about the book of mormon read som scriptures to him and sister walker was egerly listing to my conversation with this phillipino it was cool to teach him too then we get off the plane and we get on a bus for 6 to 8 hours to baguio then we get there in urdeneta and meet the AP assistent to the president and met the mission president and his wife they are really cool it was nice to finally get there then we have a quick dinner then we go to the big house for the elders and we go to sleep then the next day we have a meeting with the mission president i really like him he said we are similar and asked me if i thought my weaknesses were a bad thing and i said yes and then he told me of a scripture in ether 12:27 then we ended our meeting
