Isn't It Ironic! :)

Dear Family,

I miss you all so much and I want to wish you all a Happy Birthday who have a birthday in September!!!! I cant wait for General Conference. Here in the Philippines it is October 8 and 9. Its my last General Conference as a missionary it is crazy. SO please dont tell me anything until October 10

I didn't really have anything crazy this week. Because my companion is Zone Leader we had exchanges with the other Zone leader and it was like a flash to the past as I was on exchanges with an american Elder who is 6 weeks into his mission and he is still learning the language and it made me think... "Is that really what I sounded like with Elder Wade?" hahah.

Nothing really happened this week. I love Elder Ibis and I hope he is my last companion. He is so much fun and I have not been stressed yet with him. I love my time here in Fabrica ward even though I'm only 2 weeks into the area! I cant believe how fast my 2 years have gone and I cant believe how close I am to the end hahaha lol. 

I love you all so much and I hope everyone is having a great week. I miss you all terribly. I am really sorry that my emails are so short but nothing is really new hahah.

Love,

ELder Evans 

Nothing New but Time is Moving Fast!

Dear Family,

This past week if I didn't already tell you.. I am back in the North in the Cadiz Zone. I am having a blast here in Fabrica and hope that it is my last area.

Mom, you keep sharing all the new families moving into our ward.  I feel like at my homecoming talk it will feel more like an area transfer then a homecoming. hehe.

I was struggling a couple weeks ago but now I am fine. I am loving every second of my mission but my mission is drawing to a close way to fast.

Not much else is happening over here. One of the brown towls I came with got ripped and torn so I only have 1 left... just wanted to give you the heads up...

Nothing else new here... I hope all is well

Love,

ELder Evans

I'm on the move, again?!?

Dear Family,

 

This past week was a good week but it ended on a bummer.  I say that because I got transferred... AGAIN.  I am back in the Cadiz zone in the Fabrica area. My new companion is Elder Ibis and we were in the same zone before so I know him pretty well.  :)

 

I am glad to hear Nicolas is taking after me in the projects department at school.  I hated working in groups.  And I hope Meaghen did well at TPC. That is a really hard course to play if you are a beginner.

 

I don't have any new pictures for you at the moment but I am sure I will have more soon. I don't really have anything else new to report other than having transfers every 6 weeks. That has happened to me in each of my last 3 areas.  Not fun packing up and moving all the time especially when you are just starting to know everybody in the area. :)

 

I hope all is well with the family and I miss you all.  :)

 

Love,

Elder Evans

Short and Getting Shorter!! :)

**Mommy note:  I sent kind of a list email this week and he pretty much just responded to the list.  I am sure a lot more happened this week, but I guess he is super busy with his mission winding down.  :)***

Mom:  We celebrated Grandpa's birthday today.  Had a good time and enjoyed Meaghen's specialty cake for Grandpa--Chocolate/ Coconut Cream cake.

Spencer:  I hope Grandpa had a good birthday and Aunt Julie, too. hahah Yep, I remembered them both! hahah

Mom:  Jon Gilson says "Hi".  He misses you and is excited to see you when you get back.

Spencer::  I miss Jon so much tell him Hi back for me.  :)

Mom:  Your dad and brother had church basketball Thursday and the young men did an awesome job and won their game.

Spencer:  I cant wait to come back and play basketball.  :)  Anyway nothing new happened this week. Progressing area and hoping baptisms will come soon. :)

I love you all so much!!!! I am downloading photos now.:) 

Love,

Elder Evans

Fun after church in Oringao

No longer a Teenager!! :)

Dear Family,

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. They mean alot. I can't wait for that big celebration that you talked about mom, when I get home.  :)  I am finally not a teenager anymore. That makes me so happy to know that. hahaha. One more year and I am completely legal of everything. hhahaa (jk dont worry.)

This week was good. I love my new companion and I love this area. We have a few progressing investigators which will soon be baptized... we just need to teach them.. they already come to church every week. :)

I miss youth basketball but I am glad to know that I can officially play with the big boys when I return :)  **Mommy note:  I emailed Spencer about the youth at church starting basketball this past week.***

Thank you mom for your reply about my question about Eve... That really helps and I always love to hear testimonies that always strengthens mine.  :)

Nothing really new here.. the days are counting down and I only have 4 months left to teach and be with these great people. :0 CRAZY RIGHT!  I really need to get to work.

Well I gotta go and celebrate with members. Birthdays on a Pday are amazing!

Love,

Elder Evans

New Companion, New Start!

Dear Family,

 I am glad to hear that Nicolas has the YC member position. **Mom note: This is a position in church where the youth are in leadership roles and are in charge of dances/ Youth Conferences and activities.** I remember when I was the young men's YC member for the ward.  It was fun and the dances arent as bad as he thinks. I would know and so should he having been in ASB so..hahahaha

Tree growing in the middle of the ocean

Meaghen may be following in my footsteps soon. I was Deacon and Teacher quorum president. Have her be ready lol.

Anywho... I got a new companion today! I am kinda excited because my previous companion and I had a tough connection. My new companion's name is Elder Fernandez and I do not know, as of now, where he is from but that's ok. 

I am excited to get to work with my new companion knowing that the time is far spent and I have only 4 months remaining...:0

Anyway... I love you alll and nothing new to report:)

Thanks,

Elder Evans

Mom's Dropping the Ball, But I Love Her Still! :)

Dear Family,

I can't believe Meaghen is in 9th grade. I hope she enjoys it.  I loved high school and I know she will too.

Yes Kabankalan sounds familiar because I went there every Monday for P-Day when I was in Tuyom. I am back in the South and I have been assigned in all the south zones in the mission. hahaha

But nothing really is new. The area is not city at all. Nice branch. Love the people.

Baptism of Maycee the day before
I transferred to Kabankalan

Anyway don't worry about me I am doing good out here. :)

Anyway I love you. I am downloading new pics too.

Love,

Dear Family,

Me and ward Mission Leader

So I have to give mom a little "what's up"?  I was told you didn't update the blog last week.  Make sure you do it this week or I will only be emailing G&G Evans!! hahah  :)

It sounded like stake conference was a good one so sad that I missed it:) I also have been getting emails about the elections... IS DONALD TRUMP REALLY THAT BAD...? Anyway, not much has happened this week so that is why I am asking about politics. LOL :)   

District Training meeting

I am feeling some "out of my comfort zone" becasue the area I am in is really bukid (Ilango for country/forrest land) and I dont do well in bukid or mountain areas. :)  I do much better in the city.

Me and my companion have been working together to be better together and we worked it out in companionship inventory. ***Mom note:  Companionship inventory is when they take a look at what is working with their companionship and what is not.  And what they can do to fix the things that are not working.***

Things are good here and I will update you when I get info about my return date.  :)

Sorry for the short email but thats it hahah
