Hey everyoneWell this week i actually have a lot to tell you guys. First off i was transfered and i finally went north for the first time in my whole mission. Im in a little town called Mercedes and its in camarines norte. Its way awesome up here. The town is right on the beach, as in like all the houses are in the sand including ours. Mom i think you would die if you could see the things I can eat now. We eat all kinds of fish, crabs, shrimp, and other sea food. Our house is so small but its up on the second floor so we have a sweet view. Also my new comp is a huge filipino. Well he is short but he has a big buff body so no i have an exercise partner. We are the zone leaders here in daet zone. Its sweet being a zone leader because we get to go to naga once a transfer for this 3 day meeting and there is tons of good food. Also while i was in Naga i found that Ester lady and she was SOOOOOOOOOO nice. She wanted to buy me and my comp a pizza but we just didnt have time and when we left she kissed us both which is not allowed but she is old and there is not much i can do about that. Everything is going good here. I think i better go but ill write back in 3 weeks.

Hey Everyone
Well its been an interesting week. Things in my mission have changed a lot in the last week. I guess some people have been taking advantage of my Mission Presidents niceness so he decided to crack down a little bit. This April we can not email or use computers. But its just one month and thats not too bad. To be totally honest i have to agree with what he is doing things have been going way too far lately. We have transfers this week and im not sure what will happen but i feel like i wont be transfered but they say i will so we will see what happens. We also had another baptism this last week which was cool that was our 8th baptism this transfer! Things are going great and im still happy. Keep up the love and support.

Hey Everyone,
Whats up? Well ill try to give you guys a little better weekly update since its been a while since i've sent a good one. Well this last week was work as usual but there was some cool stuff that happened. So we had interviews with President Farrin which is always kind of cool. I love being able to talk with the Farrins and its cool to talk about doctrine with president because he knows a lot and can explain it well. Interviews are especial fun as a District leader because we have a special interview/meeting with the zone leader and president in which we talk about the progress of the zone and elders and the zone leaders here are way cool and made some nice comments about me and i almost cried because they said some nice stuff, but of course i didn't cry because big boys don't cry. Then me and my comp had some way good success in our area with our investigators and we are slowly trying to warm up to the wife of the branch president here. I don't get it, her husband is the branch president, her daughter is on a mission in utah, and her other daughter is going to byu Hawaii soon. WHY ISNT SHE A MEMBER! To be honest she remind me of my own mother and that would kind of explain her hard head and also why we are getting a long good and she is letting me teach her a little. Then this morning we went into legazpi for our pday and i saw my old nanay (lady who washes our clothes), the nanay who was WAY nice and we were way close. She and i got to talk for a long time which was way cool. She gave me all the news from my old area. I've really been having a lot of fun here in ligao but i am thinking my time will be short here because president made a comment that made it sound as if i will be transfered next transfer. Well i love you all and hope you guys are all doing good.

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
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.
