Mga kaibigan at pamilya ko,
Finally I have a home in Magsingal, and no longer commute to and from San Juan every day.
Pictures of the new house:

In other news, the work is well in Magsingal. Now that we live there, the work is much easier to get to. As well, we had more exchanges this week, this time with the ZLs (Zone Leaders) in Sinait.
Elder Magturtur and I help out some members:

Masipag kami, diba?
Also, one more picture with investigators. This is the Agbalog family + friends, who Elder Maroket and I have taught a couple times now.
We had them do an activity for Light the World, where they wrote down four people they could help before Christmas and how they would help them.
I hope that all of you can also Light the World this Christmas season. If you haven’t seen them yet, the videos for this year’s light the world campaign are available at lighttheworld.org. They provide a great way to focus on Christ and giving instead of receiving.
I wish the best to all of you at home and elsewhere. Wherever you are, have a wonderful week.
Mahal na mahal ko po kayo,
Elder Tripp
Answers to Mom’s questions: The houses here are definitely nicer than I expected, which sort of leads into the secrets down the alley. Finally my companion and I have moved to Magsingal, and the alley leads to our new house. I’ll link some pictures in the group email, so everyone can see them.
I really miss snow. Sometimes I think about how weird it is that it’s December but still hot outside.
