James’ Mission Sept ‘24 - Sept ‘26 San Pablo Philippines

Hello all This will be the last email I write home to all of you. I find it hard to believe that this is the last week of my mission, and that I will soon be with all of you again. I'm going to miss the philippines sobra. Im super glad that I was able to end my mission off on a good note. This area has been amazing and the ward already feels like family after just 4 weeks of bring here. We have so many friends that are excited and coming to church and ready to make their first covenant with Heavenly Father. I love missionary work so much. I'm going to miss it incredibly. It's going to be a super fun week and very rewarding as well. Gonna be ending the mission off with a baptism #BUZZERBEATER. After that sunday, I will be heading to the airport in just a couple short days. Ahhh People have started giving gifts and telling me best of luck in my next journey and it honestly kinda breaks my heart thinking this is coming to an end... i'm excited to be home but wow I lov...

Hey everyone!👋Just thought I would send out another email today. Not really sure why, just kinda feeling like it😁 This week something pretty cool happened. I got to read another mission call. No, not my first one when I was called to Philippines San Pablo Mission, but another one. Since our mission is splitting, some missionaries from my mission are going to the new Lipa mission. So... we all got new mission calls!! First things first, reading it gave me flashbacks to when I read my first one in the Lomus house, in front of about 60 people only this time, It wasn't in front of anyone😅 I remember the feelings from my first call, nervous, excited, anxious and peaceful. As I read my new mission call, I was overwhelmed with the same excitement. Ill attach a pic of the call down below so yall can read it. Nothing too crazy haha cuz im gonna be home in 6 weeks anyways🤗🥹 I stayed po😉 Anyways, we had another baptism this weekend! Sarah is the best and so willing to follow Jesus...
