Everything here is going good. We had 3 more baptisms on saturday and have plenty more planed and since im not transfered i should get to see most of my investigators get baptized. We have some awesome investigators and even though sometimes i dont get along with ALL the members im happy here in masbate. Last week i got the chance to go to Cataingan ( the most dangerous part of our mission) and i was the first American EVER to work down there. It was actually really fun. I was able to work with the missionaries there for two days. We also got to have our service project there and we went up in the mountains and collected bamboo for one of the investigators house. We also got to eat TONS of coco nuts, which ive grown to love. We were tracting up there and then we tracted into a pastures house which was kind of interesting but fun too. He was very hard headed but even though he was like that we where able to finish the whole first lesson to him and we never even debated with him. Then there was this awesome family up there that im almost positive will be baptized because they were saying how there prayers had been answered and that they believed everything. As for my area we have been having tons of success. we got two more baptisms coming up on the 27th and many more for october. Its crazy that im planning for october already. After october is november and after november is december and after that.................. Wow, im starting to sound trunky. Last week i also kept messing around with my companion telling him he was going to be transfered and of course he will believe anything i say because im the zone leader but neither of us were transferred so we will spend six more weeks together here which is ok because we get a long ok. I think we both drive eachother crazy at times but because i can get a little wild at times in the house we still have fun. Plus i think he is kind of scared to tell me if he ever was mad because i think im the craziest american he has ever seen. I havent been in the same zone as another american for like 6 months now so im pretty much filipino now. All the missionaries in my zone think im crazy but thats ok as long as work is good. Also ive taken these six months to really get to know the culture and ive learned how to cook some of the traditional filipino food so when i get home ill cook you guys some good food like sinagang or adobo. The song here in the internet cafe keeps repeating the words, "im going home" hahahah. Im so happy to get to go to zone leaders council this week and see some other missionaries. Well that was my week.
love elder thompson
