Hoop, there it is!

Well, it's been a good week. Each day we just go out to work at different times because there are so many different things to take care of. Life seems to have sped up. We have had normal things happen like Zone training meeting and stuff like that throws a fun little twist in the schedule. One cool thing that came from ZTM is that we really are trying to work more with the ward. I love that because people are awesome! We should all learn how to better work with people. Especially in missionary work. Working with members and through members is the best way for retention. I invite us all to be the best member missionaries we can. 
One cool thing we had to do this week was to go find an apartment. We looked for about an hour and didn't find anything then found some real potential. We went and talked to the guy and he had two apartments on the 3rd floor which are perfect for what we need. They are great and the guy was super nice. The real story is what's on top of the apartment. On the roof of the apartment is a basketball court!! It's not a full-sized hoop but hey...a hoop is a hoop. Of course, they let us play a little and have some fun. The apartment is also perfectly located with tons of things around it. It's like a dream elders apartment! 
One of my friends here in the mission fell in a manhole- so that was crazy.(Note to self, always watch where you step in the Philippines) 
Well yeah that's about all that's worth sharing. 
So a little spiritual thing this week is that I really just love the Christlike attributes. I love them because ,as Jenny McAllister would say, "they have everything and nothing to do with the gospel of Jesus Christ." That means they even relate to just our daily lives as humans. Jesus taught us how we should live as people. It's part of everyday life. Always relate it back to him. 
Well, thanks for taking the time to read. Get off your phone now and go throw a ball with someone while it's still good weather. Don't waste your time on the phone. Love you. Bye
