FAMILY,

Hello again. How are all of you? What is new? I am doing good! But not much new for me. Same old stuff. Its fun tho. Actually this week was a tiny different cuz one of the areas right next to my area got closed down in the middle of transfers and the elders there got pulled out. The area had just reopened last transfer after being closed for over like 8 years. There was some safety problems nxt to the elders apartment so as soon as president found out he pulled the elders out. So anyway we have had to pick up the work there again so we have been pretty busy! They had 3 investigators with baptismal dates so we have picked those up and continue with them so we are swamped now. Ha its good tho, to bad the other elders got pulled out, the were doing work ovewr there. So as for pila we gstill only got one investigator with a baptism date. Its been hard to get most our investigaters to progress this whole transfer. We still got to step it up! Ha. So the girl that has the baptismal date for the 31 of jan. its a weird situation cuz we have to get her and her husband “lagally” married before her baptism so that’s sorta in the way but she is very rteady for baptism. That’s probably the biggest problem here in the pilipinas. Marriage situations. Its kinda lame. The pilipinas is the only country in the world where divorce is ilegall. Sayang, it causes a lot of problems with progressing investigators. So today we just get it today and ran some errands and chores and I wrote mom a birthday letter. I was planning on writing a bunch of lettrers but just not enough time, ha. So I am sending that letter and some pics on a cd this week. Hoy! I forgot to tell grandma thanks for the package last week! Thanks grandma! The goodies were delicious! You hooked me up! Oh and the American money, ha. Havnet seen that stuff for a while. Just colorfull Pilipino pesos! Swo grandma I sent you a letter finally last week so look for that in a week or two. Mom and brayden thanks for the emails! Sorry for never emailing you a personal email. I enjoy your emails and wish I could spend more time answering your questions. Ok so mom a few I deas for the package. Something I really want and need. A small little leatherman folding type pocket knife with PLIERS on it. Theres proly one lying around the house. Some cool postcard like jesus pictures from like deseret book, by simon dewey due and greg olsen. I want to put them on my walls. (oh before I forget, whats skylars email address? I havnt heard from him in ages)(oh and tell regan I wrote her a long time ago and am still waiting for a reply_ so there will be no letters till I get a response, ha, no joke) so next on the list, beef jerky! Man I love that stuff! And last thing that always makes me happy,,, food! Just any snack or junck food, and candy. I really cant think of anything else. Ok well time is low. Thanks for all you have done, and do for me. Keep up the good work over there. Keep on praying and trust in the lord. It sounds to me like you are doing the right things. Keep on goin. Thanks for the prayers. I keep you in mine4. be safe, I am(mom)! good luck with ALL!!!! Lots of love!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello everyone. Its me again. Not much new for me here in pila. How have you been? I am aight. So new years was crazy here. I have never seen so many fireworks in my life. On new years eve I w3ent to bed at like 10:30 but was quickly awackend by a storm of explosions at 11;30. it was insane. By 12 midnight it was going OFF, no joke. It was like friggen world war 3! Every direction I looked there were fireworkd exploding in the air. It was soo kool! Cody would have loved it. It was so loud. It was like every one had their on real fireworks. Ha it was hard to get back to sleep. Ok so that’s that. I really don’t have much to say this email. Oh I got your package but not grandmas yet. Thanks a ton. It was awesome! I will proly get hers this week. I am enjoyiong everything you all gave me, thanks. I thought there was gonna be a picture album tho, ha and no letters from mom ans\d dad, but I figure thase will come in the nxt package. Ok so thanks for the package. Oh I gave a couple of those hair thingies to that girl from my picture and her older sister rhika mae(one of my converts) they really were excited and liked them. Oh mom I liked the family Christmas pic you uploaded. I tried to print it but couldn’t. next package send some pictures from like Christmas and stuff, and up to date photos. That would be kool so I cab\n see changes. Man I wish I could tell you guys some super sweet missionary stories or kool spiritual stuff but I just haven’t had any super kool experiences yet. The mission is a little weird for me, I cant explain it, its like I am in some weird funk. So the work lately has been a little bit slower but its all good. I am not sure if I will see another baptism here in pila. I guess it depends on how much longer I am here, haha! Hmmm so nothing else really. Sorry for leaving you hanging with the email this week. I hope all is get better and you have a good week thiSweek. Love you all. Tell the kids I say hi.

Xoxox Love.

CHRISTMAS

Hey hey hey, hohoho.

Chrismas was good for me cuz I was able to talk to you all. It was good to hear all your voices again. I hope your guyses Christmas was just straight up ridonkulous kahit konteng pera, haha. I wish I could of called you Christmas night too to see what you all got from santa and to see how they day went. Next year I think I will do that. Time flew by way to quick talking to you guys. We almost talked for 3 hrs but it felt like 30 minutes, theres just way to much to catch up on after 5 months, huh. For mothers day I think I will take more adventage of the 0 time limit cuz a lot of other missionaries talke a lot longer than me, ha oh well it was enough. Oh and sorry I wasn’t able to email on Christmas, we were busy like always, ha. So fter I talked to you on Christmas we had the branch Christmas party which was sorta boring, then we had an appointment at a members house at night. I was planning on working more at night but time went by way to quick. Christmas eve was a real good day for me and was a lot of fun. We worked hard and I tied all our lessons into the Christmas story and shared the first presidency Christmas message from the friend. It was fun and the whole week was funner cuz I used Christmas in everything when we talked to people and tied everything into Christmas which made it funner and not the same old stuff. Swithed it up. I had a way kool experience on Christmas eve on or last visit. I don’t have time to explain it but I was able to have a Real Christmas experience and truly help someone in need. It was kool cuz the lord really put me where he wanted me to be and helped one of his children through me. It was awesome cuz the spirit told me what I needed to do and I knew that I was an instrument in the lords hand. Lets just say that it was kool. Maybe next week I will give more details if you want. So the Christmas season was not the same for me this year and it didn’t really feel like Christmas no matter how hard I tried but still I was able to enjoy it in a different way and kahit walang pamilya. So it sounds like you all had a good Christmas from chantell and moms email. I am sure you did, how could you not, Christmas is the best! Hey BRAYDEN, dude, my main man, lil bro, lil G, Happy Birthday! Ha I don’t even know how old you are, I think 7, but I hope you hve a straight dopage b-day! Keep it real for me and have fun. Sige so yesterday I was able to baptize an awesome 18 year old girl named Annie. She is awesome andi really enjoyed teaching her and seeing her desire to join the true church grow with every visit. She is already talking about serving a mission. Saweet! Today we had a decent pday. I got to play a little bball for the first time since a while. And in the process I got some fatty blisters on the bottom of my feet and one of them tore open, haha! I am bone head cuz I was ballin bare foot, cuz my flip flops tore the other day( I hope you sent some news ones in the package). But its no big deal it will just be a pain to walk tomarrow ha. Oh and by the way I will proly get the packages on Wednesday at zone interviews. Ok well I gots to get going. It was great talking to you. Masaganang bagong taon. Happy new year, set some sweet new gaols for the new year. I hope all goes weel in your lives. Stay safe. Love you all. Party on.

hey. ok so i didnt know this till like 2 days ago but it is not p-day for us today. our pday is only on christmas. i thought we got pday today and then christmas off too but i guess i was in a really deep dream, not a chance! HA. so this is just a quick email to you guys to let you know how i will call you, even tho i still aint sure. so i really am not sure how we are suppose to do it cuz nobody ever told us and nobody i ask seems to have a clue. so i went to buy a calling card earlier today but the peaple are sorta retarrted so they dont even know how the calling cards work. ha. but i will figure it out. so i am gonna go over to a members house chrictmas morning at around 9 am(so i think 6 pm christmas eve for you) and just use their cell phone or land line. i am gonna try to get like 2 hr worth of calling cards. so i will call you around 9:30 am christmas morning and 6:30 pm christmas eve for you all. i hope that is alright and doesnt mess up with your christmas eve schedule. i was gonna do it the way dad said but i really didnt have time to go buy a phone, and they cost like 600 peso which isnt really a whole lot in american but i didnt have time. chantell i got your packages and they are sitting under my tree, i am waiting till christmas. thanks. i might get the family package but who knows, if not its no big dael. i hope you guys get mine soon. i sent 2. so if you dont get a call right away it proly means my comp is making us late again. or the way i was trying didnt work. but i will get a hold of you sooner or later so just be ready. i am not sure if i know my debit card # anymore so if you could let me know that when i call, that would be good but i got plenty of mony so i dont really need to withdraw any out of my account. be ready to ask me questiond on christmas eve. i am way stoked to talk to you all. i hope you all have a really good christmas week and enjoy the christmas season. be happy and joyfull, its CHRISTMaS! i miss you all and love yah tons. have fun. maligayang pasko and masaganang bagong taon! heres 2 good scrips.
