Family and Friends,
What a week.... highlight for sure was spending almost 3 whole days in Bacolod and also in Manila!!! haha. Wednesday we had some time in Bacolod to do some errands... wow, i love that place. Then Thursday we had a follow-up training for the batch of the elder that i am training... that was hilarious actually... everything from spontaneous teaching practices, to one of my batch mates getting embarrassed by his trainee at the pulpit.. never a dull moment in this mission. hahah. Thursday i also got to work with Elder Evans (my MTC comp) in his area.... wow, its much more efficient that we can both actually speak ilonggo now!! hahah. Also on Thursday night... metro inn. Long story short... an all you can eat buffet with sushi!!!!!!!! The best!
Friday. Best day. Up at about 4 am and onto the airplane around 7... going to Manila! It was our entire batch going home... so much fun. We had to go to Manila for fingerprinting purposes for our visas going home... epic. The fingerprinting was not actually too difficult of a process... but for sure weird actually seeing people of other races... indian, black, white, all of it... weird! haha. But after that mess we got Wendy's for lunch... YES, WENDY'S! wow.... i forgot how amazing a vanilla frost is. Then off to the temple in Manila!! I actually saw Elder (well now brother) Baradi!!! My 2nd comp... it was awesome to see him. The temple was epic... and to say the least, i walked out of there with a strong desire to get married..... hahaha #trunkytruth . Such a long day but so much fun... love it.
Enduring is a real process that i am experiencing right now... we truly must "feast upon the words of Christ" so that we can make it to the end..

I am.... in a state of mind that i cannot explain... i love missionary work... i love my comp.. i love the experiences.. but i am beyond tired. as in, physically exhausted. i dont know how i can walk sometimes... it is a modern miracle.
I cannot wait to see you all.. literally.
I love you all.
Palangga,
Elder Stagg
