Hey everyone

Well everyone we had another good week here in ligao. We had the chance to baptize a whole family which was awesome but to be honest i didnt do much of the teaching to them because im just new here. Im really loving it here in Ligao zone because all the missionaries are way fun. Its also cool because there are 4 of us in the town of ligao but we dont live in the same house but we are next door neighbors which is way cool. well i dont have much to say life is just same old same old.

Hey everyone,

What everyone up to? Well i was transfered this last week into my old district. Im still a District leader but its way cool because im surrounded by a ton of really good elders so i should learn a lot. My next door neighbors are the zone leaders and my comp is WAY good he just made a couple mistakes and became a junior again but its ok ill help him and he can help me. We have a lot of good investigators and some baptisms coming up this week. We are also teaching a lot of tatays (fathers) which is way cool to get some new priesthood for the branch here. So far im really loving the area and my comp. Im thinking it will be one of my best transfers. Well thanks for all your love and support.

Hey everyone

Not much to say for this last week. I got sick for a couple days and we werent able to work so i dont have much to say. We also moved apartments so it was way cool to get a change of places. We now have aircon in our bedroom which is way cool and the new house is way better. Besides that nothing happened sorry that this is so lame but i love you all and your support for me.

Hey everyone

Well things for me here in the philippines have been crazy. We had 5 baptisms last week which is cool but we have really been baptizing too fast so now im running out of people to teach. Its like i found and baptized the good ones because everyone else here seems to be retarded or too hard headed. yesterday we went tracting and we were like, " hey we have a message about jesus christ" and everyone was just like " its ok im catholic" its like come on man, you dont believe int jesus christ? its ok i have some new ideas to find people to teach and it will give me a good chance to try out some new things i wanted to do plus a lot of my time is now freed up. We should have two more baptisms in just a couple weeks but i think im going to be transfered this next transfer but i know my Zone leader requested for me not to be transfered this next transfer because he said he didnt want to get a new district leader here. Thats ok with me but ive been here in tabaco for a long time now and i think me and my trainee need to get split up because we can get a little bit loud sometimes because we have gotten to be good friends. well thats about it for me here.

Hey everyone,

Well things are going good here in the philippines. Ive been having a blast here in my area and we have been having a lot of success. This last week we baptized a nanay (mother) and this upcoming week we will be baptizing 7 more people! im way excited. We went to legazpi earlier today and i got to eat real pizza and mexican food which was awesome but i spent a lot of money on it. Well because of the lack of time im going to keep this short. Love you all.

Hey everyone.
Me and my anak (kid), elder wright, had an amazing week. We had some many lessons and lots of people go to church. This upcoming week we have a investigator getting baptized. Elder wright will be baptizing her and this is his first baptism so pray he gets her under on the first dunk because she is 7 months pregnant and that belly might make it kind of hard. I dont know if i said this last week but my branch president here in tiwi got into an accident last week and things have not been the same since. The guy is amazing and really holds the branch together. Some guy from the district presidency came to our church and gave this wierd talk basically he said that we need to look for the good in our president getting into an accident and that now we will see if tiwi branch is still good without him. I didnt like what he said too much and i think he made a lot of other people mad. There is no good to come from a good guy getting hit by a drunk drive but its ok, forgive and forget. Earlier today we went to a way sweet beach in my area, maybe next week ill send some pictures to you guys.

Hey everyone

Well i wasnt transfered and i couldnt be happier because this last sunday 12 investigators went to church which was awesome because a lot of members didnt make it so we ended up having like 25% of the attendence in just our investigators. Things are going great and it looks like we will have lots of baptisms coming and i will be here untill feb 14 and then im sure ill be transfered but ill go where the want me to go.
