Hey everyone!


How is life back home? Things here are going good. We spent the morning practicing a dance presentation for our christmas conference which should actually be really fun. This last week was kind of a lazy feeling week because this new area we are in had like no work happening in it for the last 8 months so we are basically starting from scratch and we basically just worked with the members and had them help us find all the investigators and other members. Things are actually going good though now. We had 4 investigators go to church, 2 of which we found last week so we are excited. Too bad i wont be here to see any of them be baptized. Im not sure but i think i wont have any baptisms in this area before i go home. Thats ok because at least i was part of the work here and the members really appreciate what we are doing now. Also one of my converts is going through the temple to get her endowments like RIGHT NOW. So im way excited about that. She wrote me a really good letter telling me about some of the changes in here life and stuff. I really hope I can make it back here to the philippines to come visit some of these people. Now that it's getting closer and closer to coming to a close its making me think how hard it really is going to be to have to leave it all. There is this awesome family here in our area that works with us. They have a car and everything. Its crazy because the whole family works with us and they have only been members for like 18 months and they are really active. The husband is the elders quorum president. They are also going to go get sealed this December which is way cool. We also have this other family who feeds us EVERY night if we would let them. I love the members here so much but i still miss my island. Thats about it for me.

love you all.
