Well, yet again an awesome week in Navotas Ward! I feel like I always just start off my emails like that haha, but this week is my last week saying Caloocan zone! Haha yep, after seven months here in Caloocan I am now going to transfer this Wednesday.
So we had zone interviews this week, and President told me that I will be transferring to Malolos next transfer. You are probably wondering if there is more nature in that area... and the answer is yes:) Idk how much, but I am excited to see haha! Anyway he told me he has heard from lots of Elders about my attitude in Caloocan and how it has really helped us all improve. He also told me that I am going to be a Zone Leader next transfer! Haha ano ba iyan. I feel really young in the mission to have that responsibility because I have only been in the field for 8 and a half months. But the good news is my new comp is going to be Elder Pajaran! He was an AP last transfer haha so it will be super dope! I also found out yesterday that his current companion Elder Brown extended 3 weeks so we will be a trio for half of the next transfer haha. Elder Brown was an AP as well so I know I am going to learn a ton in the next couple weeks!! It will be a big change for sure, but I am excited to grow:)
Anyway, this week we had 5 investigators at church. Three of those 5 are getting really close to baptism though so I am sad I will miss that. We taught a lot of really good lessons this week:) I feel like my teaching skills are getting a little better each day. I have honestly been pretty makulit with all the members and investigators so they all love me here hahah. We played Telephone with a bunch of our members for an FHE, and also with the Danofrata family. They all thought it was like the funniest game ever haha. Then at the end we tied it into the Apostasy. How over time, the truth was changed. It was sad saying bye to so many of them! I got a ton of good pictures this week and gave them a bunch of the pennies Marla made for me. I made them into necklaces and they all loved them! Little things like that go a really long way here:)
Anyway, I am excited for what lays ahead of me! I might get my butt kicked for a min, but I am praying that I do! Because we can't grow inside of our comfort zone! I hope you guys all had an amazing week! Love you guys:)

Graden sent tons of pics and even a few videos this week. He was able to go say goodbye to all of his favorite people that he has met while working in this area. He is excited for a new adventure- and more nature:) but will miss all of the great friends he made in Caloocan.

| The Jolly Bee- Kindof like getting your pic with Ronald McDonald :) |
This is Graden's little favorite friend that reminds him of his youngest sister, Capri. Apparently she has heard of her:)

| Graden would like us to work on making some yard art for when he returns home. |

Graden called as we were visiting the cemetery. We bring items that remind us of my dad. Apparently a few of us remembered he loved oreos. There is also a pass to Millcreek canyon-an all time favorite place for him. Glad Gray could be around for a special part of our weekend. |
