June 9, 2013

Hey everybody,
Thank you so much for the pictures! You all look so good, Sarah looks like she's 20 and I don't now how Amy got so hot? It was so good to be able to see all of you together and happy, keep the pictures coming please.And thanks for all the letters that everyone wrote me. A special thanks to Craig you noted that I am looking pretty "gay" lately? right... Dad, to answer your questions about the boat ride. Yes, it is a Malibu LSV 247 and he did offer to tow me. I think about wake boarding everyday because the water here is always glass except when there is a storm, but the water is pretty warm, almost hot. As for the peeps in Vegas dealing with the heat, I wish I could say I felt bad for you. I sweat from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep. My area is an oven. But I love the members and have a lot of fun with the people there.This week went so fast its crazy. But, unfortunately it was not our most progressive week. I got bit by something on my foot last week and it got pretty swollen and infected and I really had a hard time wearing shoes, but that's just life in the Philippines I guess. We have two investigators that are really progressing and understanding and I really want them to be baptized. The problem is that they are always working and they are never there when we go to their houses. Missionary work can be frustrating sometimes. In other news, I am getting pretty tired of people calling me Joe. I was about ready to nock out this teenager last week but I found my sense and now I am just trying to be more Christlike. I could definitely use some more patience so that's what I am gonna start working on. I have been thinking a lot this week about aligning our will with Gods and how much happier we would be if we could just forget ourselves and focus on doing the will of the Lord. I still have a ways to go in that area, you guys know that its rally easy for me to get distracted with my appearance and other worldly things but I am just gonna forget about what I want and go to work. That's my goal for next transfer. Mom, to answer your question about why I am so poor is because i'm I don't want to just blow that money on food, I still have a lot of fat to loose before I have to worry about starving. I have been using that money to buy things that I need and stuff to take home. Its not that bad, it's more exciting when we run out of money because we have to get creative with the stuff we eat and buy. I'm fine, don't worry. Another package already? Wow umm I guess just more of the same, fruit and nuts, beef jerkey, skip the candy, you know me:) But I do need some long black socks, mine are all shredded. All the socks here are kids sizes. Put some more pictures in the package too, that would be awesome. Well, thank you guys so much for everything, good luck with the move and keep on being the good examples for me that you are. I love you all and I know that this church is true, this gospel is the only place to find refuge from the world and help with the struggles that come in this test of life. Keep it real, Share the gospel. PEACE
