Hey everyone,
Everything is going great. I'm working hard and the language is coming. I don't have many stories to tell because the same happens here all the time. Me and my campion tried praying for a act of faith this week we prayed for an Elder we did not know. We prayed to find an Elder Jacobs and to know what to say when we meet him. Well i know that this works because sunday we met this elder and shared with him how great of a missionary he will be. If we all have faith in the Lord he will bless us with the things we need. I love you all and i will be getting on... . Mahal ko kayo.
Love, Elder Mele

Hey Everyone,
This week has been a really good week. The language is starting to click for me. Tagolog is such a fun language. I can take nouns and make them into verbs. Like water is tubig so if i wanted to aske to get a drink i could say magtutubig which is future tense meaning go water. It amazes me how simple some languages can be compared to english. If any of you have talks that you think would be nice for me to have please send them to me. Also please send pictures of you too. Mom please send a picture of Mandi i really would like one.
The other day Sister Maiello gave an amazing lesson the Atonement we were all crying. I talked about Mandi and how she has helpedd keep our family strong and that we will be able to see her again someday. I can't wait for that. I went to the temple this morning and i know that this is true. Please go to the temple as often as possible also if you haven't gotten your patriarchal blessings please do that it will help so much. I love you all please write me back at dearelder.com

Alam ko po na totoong propeta pa si Joseph Smith, at totoong propeta Thomas S. Monson para sa ating panahon. Alam ko po na totoong si Jesus Cristo si Cristo. Sa pangalan ni Jesus Cristo, Amen. ( I know this church is true, i know that Joseph Smith is a true prophet and that Thomas S. Monson is the prophet in our time. I know Jesus Christ is the Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen

When the MTC was built in Provo, beautiful green athletic fields were planted so the missionaries would have a place to exercise. However, they were so inviting that BYU students were attracted there, and you would see BYU students out playing touch football, throwing frisbees, etc. on the missionaries' field. To deal with this problem, a large banner was posted, which read "Missionaries Only."
The next day, BYU students were out on the field, playing touch football and throwing frisbees. They had posted a new banner which read, "Every Member A Missionary."
