你好，Pagbati, Hello Everyone!!

     Today was transfer news which was crazy and based on the title you already know that I'm outta here sadly!! There have been so many good things going in Wild Rose but God has other plans for me and now I'm heading to a place known as Fort Saint John which is about 7 hours northwest of Edmonton and the 3rd highest area in the mission! So I'm heading out there on Wednesday and getting a new companion and his name is Elder Dransfield!! I have already met him once very briefly but he is also speaking Tagalog like me but he got here about 3 months ago so he is still pretty young! I'm looking forward to it as well as continuing to become a better missionary and learn new skills there! It's a branch so it's gonna be a bit tiny! 

     Some highlights from this week is I had a boodle fight which is where the food is on tin foil or banana leaves usually and you eat the meal with only your hands so one hand is to get food and the other is to eat it! Before that though we ate Balut which is an unhatched duck egg which is always a delicacy! Mine had a beak and feathers and a solid body which was not the greatest when I bit it and there was a crunch there! Pretty crazy but I got it down so that was good!

     This week I had an exchange with a Spanish Elder named Elder Hironaka and he is super cool and we actually played basketball against each other here in the mission a year ago and now we are hanging again and I love him so much! He is a stud of an Elder! We are starting to get a little old together but that's okay! 

     This Sunday we had an amazing church attendance in Wild Rose and I feel like it was God's little gift to me before leaving cause I love seeing a full Chapel! We had 5 friends there including new members which was so awesome and I love and am going to miss all of them! I also played a song for the choir which was super cool and the spirit was very strong and a great way to end my second stay here in Wild Rose! 

     Spiritual Thought:

God is aware of us and he knows what we need when we need it and as we pray to Him He will continually give us the next step or comfort in what we are doing! He is our Father and Creator and we mean everything in the world to him! Pray to him and see what answer you get in return and act on it! 

Love y'all!! 

Elder Strong
