Week 49 - July 8th, 2019 (Santa Teresita, Philippines)
Our Hike!
Hello everyone! Quick update I wanna get out! So transfer day, and I'm moving to the other side of the mission, in Santa Teresita way out in Cagayan. I'm so excited, we leave tomorrow night for Laoag and then tomorrow morning take a nine hour bus out there. I'm really going to miss this amazing area of Dingras- I've met and come to know and love some of the most amazing and strongest people here, in their faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and their desires to do good and help others. I can't wait to come back here some day (write that on the calendar mom and dad). Six months has brought some incredible memories, and even more incredible miracles. I have witnessed so many this past week. I wish I had more time to write about it all, but I need to get back and get packing- we just got finished with an awesome hike up in Solsona up some amazing mountains. I am so so so grateful for this mission, for this time that God has granted unto me to give my efforts into serving Him and His children. I know it is all only, only possible through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, which saves and lifts us every single day. And I can't wait to spread this incredible news in a new town, a new region, and meet all those people and see many many more of the miracles and love of God. I love you all, I hope that you all have an incredible week, and keep pressing forward always in faith. Write more next week, love ya!! Love, Elder Griffitts
