Hey everybody.
Masbate is going good. To be honest the last zone leader and district leader who were out here were way disobedient because lets face it out here on masbate there is NO WAY to be caught doing anything because the mission president and his assistants cant come out here with out letting me know first because we are out on an island away from everyone else. Its almost like starting the area all over again and the other missionaries here were effected a lot by the leaders. From what i understand they were always swimming together and all kinds of crazy stuff. Too bad i wasn't here to join in, joke. Its like they put me and this other elder (elder palanas, district leader) up in Daet zone before because of all the problems there and then once everything was good there they took us both and put us here to fix these problems. Its cool though because its fun here and we have already found tons of potential baptisms. This place is awesome it just needs the proper care. Well thats been about it for me here in masbate.

Hey Everyone,
Well its been a crazy week for me. So as I suspected I was transferred and as I suspected I was transferred to Masbate. Im the first American to be assigned here for a LONG time and im the only American here right now. Im excited for the chance to be here. In my mission there is the mainland where most of the missionaries are and then there are two islands. Masbate is the bigger of the two and is the southest part of our mission. There are only 8 missionaries out here and we are all elders. Being a zone leader can be hard at times and it gets like twice as hard if there are sisters in your zone, with all their girl problems and stuff. We also had our zone leaders council which was cool because I got to eat a lot of free food again. When I went to go home to my area there was a hurricane and I couldn’t get home until earlier this morning. We were stuck 3 days in this area called pilar and I had to wear the same cloths for those 3 days. There was a way awesome member there who is blind but way amazing at guitar. He started playing a yukaleli (that’s wrong spelling but you know those little Hawaii guitars) when he was 5 and the moved to guitar when he turned 7 and now he is old but way good. Next time I stop by pilar im going to get a video of him. So that was basically my week. How are all of you guys?

Hey everyone!
Things are going great here. Last week we didnt get to work much because at like midnight on tuesday i took my companion to the hospitol and we spent three days there. He had an infection on his appendix but its ok now. Then we had some other emergencys to take care of but its ok. This week our new mission president went to america for training and a guy from the 70 is going to take over for like 3 weeks. We have interviews with him this friday and that should be kind of cool. This is the last full week of the transfer and im getting the feeling i need to start packing my bags. Maybe they will toss me into legazpi or Goa. But im not sure. Well thats about it for me here.

Hey,
so this is whats going on here in my mission. Last week we had another baptism which was way cool and we also committed 3 more really, really good adult investigators to baptism for the 14th of june. This year has been awesome for me and not to brag but i did the math and i have averaged 1 baptism every week for this whole year, now thats a lot of baptisms. Last week i went to the dermatologist for this rash on my hands which ive had since like the first month i got here and they gave me a bunch of medicine and said i couldnt eat chicken, Sea foods, chocolate, nuts, and eggs which to be totally honest is all i ever eat. But that was just for one week. I went there on Wednesday and my hands are looking a lot better. I probably should have just gone there a long time ago but i dont trust the doctors here. We also had are interviews with President Smith, our new mission president, and it actually went really well. He was really nice to us all and bought the whole zone lunch. So ya basically everything here in the Philippines is going great.
