Hey, This week has been so crazy for the mission. Like 9 missionaries have been sent home (with more to come) and President is really cleansing the inner vessel of our mission. The missionaries were doing horrible things-some really bad stuff. I know satan is working hard but i am always working harder. We had our p-day switched to today just for this week because transfer day was yesterday. Some good news... we had an amazing baptism this past Saturday and just so spiritual and beautiful. There were four of them and all are amazing people. Hopefully 3 of them will serve missions as well, and they are planning to go to the temple in Cebu for baptisms in April. Some sad news...Elder Taylor is transferring, but it is okay. He is a new zone leader in city zone in Cebu and the temple is in his area. so great for him. Some scary news... my new companion is a new missionary from the MTC. I am training him, and so i am still in Cebu until later because they haven't arrived yet. I should meet him in a few hours. So yeah i will be tested a lot with the language and helping this new elder be an effective missionary. It is really a scary thing, but i am happy that President Schmutz has trust in me to take care of my new companion. Some great news... the Conde Family from my branch are going to be endowed at 3 and then sealed right after. Iit is going to be a special experience, and a strong testimony builder. I am really nervous about training, but it is okay because i know that the lord will be right by my side helping me and my companion be the best we can possibly be. So my week has been long and i just want to get back to my area and go to work. It is very different just having to wait and sit around for a few days. But i am excited for where my mission will take me from here. Thank you all for the love and support i feel continually, and the prayers that help guide and protect me. I love you all and i hope everything is well with each and every one of you.
Elder DeSchepper
