Philippines Legazpi Mission: Elder Feraer

My district-mates and I take a lot of pictures together. Before we went into our own respective room we prayed as a district. After the prayer, all of us have teary eyes. Personally, I'll really miss them. I really enjoyed their company during this MTC journey. Hopefully, we'll stay good friends after our respective missions and all of us will complete and return with honor.

MTC | Day 6 |

This is the first Christmas that I'm not with my family and it's kinda sad. I think my district-mates felt the same way too but we know our purpose and why we're doing this. We only got a few minutes to e-mail our families, no phone calls this Christmas. It's alright, we must sacrifice now and enjoy later. We got each other tonight and all the people here in MTC had a Christmas dinner celebration. Sometimes we are making fun of our district name because literally, we are really the "Eater" district. We are always first in line and we love to eat! Haha. 😂

We also had a chance to go outside and walk around the temple. Temple lights during Christmas time is really special. 😊 We also had a chance to have a picture with MTC President Beck & Sister Beck.

The bonding that we had this Christmas makes us more united and open to each other. Ether District is the best! This is definitely a memorable Christmas for me. 😀

MTC | Day 3 to 5 |

We are the very first Ether District in MTC Manila history. Our district is composed of Elders Ursua, Manzanas, Savedra, and me; together with Sisters Domingo and Oliva. Today is our first Sabbath Day in the MTC. We also had leadership training before the sacrament and President Beck (Philippines MTC President) discussed some important things about leadership. Each of us (leaders) reports how our district is doing. Ether District was fine. We adjusted really well in our schedules.

This is my MTC companion, Elder Jordan Ursua. He is from Quirino Province and he is a jolly and optimistic person. He is also knowledgeable in teaching the gospel.

MTC | Day 1 |

There's no turning back now. Two years of missionary service start today. Leaving behind my family, friends, and all the worldly things that I used to have. Why? Because this is what Heavenly Father and I wanted to do for the sake of the people who needs the restored gospel in the area that I'll be assigned to. I'll definitely miss my Lola Lydia, Mama Libye, and Papa Arnold. It's also hard for them but they're all loving, understanding, and supportive parents to me since day one. It's definitely hard but I can do it. I am a son of God. He will help me accomplished all the things that He wants me to do for all the people that I'll encounter wherever area I'll be assigned to.
