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?
