Difficult but Good

My heart is full of joy for all of the love that i feel. I feel good about everything going on here in the mission. I have been realizing how difficult it really is to train a new missionary. Elder Plandiano is literally brand new to the church as well as missionary work and so it is tough and trying on my patience sometimes but i really love him. His story is so amazing and it is sad sometimes when he only can email his brother because his family is like 2 hours away from a computer. We are so lucky there in America. I had no idea. We are going to cebu later today for a training tomorrow and i really want to buy him a nice quad. He only has an old triple from a missionary back home and a mini bible that is falling apart. So i think he would really appreciate it and i know he will never forget to read. I love him. haha even though sometimes i seem on edge. But that is part of having a companion. I feel good about the work, it is going good with bringing back inactives but it is hard and sad when they still don't go to church. oh well just gotta keep going. i have been learning some Tagalog because we have investigators who we are teaching in Tagalog... it is so hard. i can only speak a little but i am learning. so that is fun. but thank you so much for the package!!!! so awesome. The Garcia's and members loved the chocolate. Tell everyone i say hello and that i love/miss all of them. Give them all big hugs and kisses for me. Well that is pretty much it for now. I love you all, yes i do. I am so happy that we are sealed as a family forever :) Keep the faith.
Much love, Elder DeSchepper
