Hey everybody,
Don't know if this letter is gonna get to you because the power keeps going in and out here. This week was good. Just helping out after the storm. All of our service is just by area because the storm wasn't nearly as bad here as it was in Tacloban. Car, trees and houses blown over, only a few people dead so we got really lucky here compared to them. Some of their missionaries are showing up here today and they will probably be put in our zone because its one of two Cebuano zones here. We all had a meeting with President Lopez in Bacolod on Wednesday to talk about the storm and how we could help. We are just supposed to continue teaching and doing service so missionary work is still going on here. We did find a few new investigators this week through our service and got them to church on Sunday. Sorry but I couldn't get a lot of pictures of the damage because President told us not to take our cameras with us to get pictures of the damage. But I will send a couple pictures of the stuff close to my house. I think the couple missionaries have taken pictures and put them on facebook for you to see. As for food and stuff, we are pretty okay. We can still get clean water and I don't know why that mom freaked out because canned foods and rice is all we eat here anyways. We can still get pretty much anything we need here so you guys don't have to worry about us. I just feel super bad for the missionaries and people in Tacloban, they really got wrecked and I am not surprised that a lot of them are going home. Sorry I couldn't get you a letter on Wednesday but we just didn't have time to find a computer shop and email while we were in Bacolod. The place was packed with people. The last package that you sent wasn't there when I was in Bacolod but other missionaries are still getting theirs so I think the mail service is still okay. Most of the Philippines is still okay it's really just Tacloban and western visayas (us) that got hit. But we will all recover and life will keep going. I don't know what will happen with missionary work in Tacloban though because they closed the mission and I think its gonna be a long time before they can reopen it. Anyways, I love you guys so much, keep praying for the people of the Philippines, they need it. Tell Amy "good luck" with her job interview and tell everyone at grandma's how much I love them. And I am super stoked to get your christmas video and pictures. I hope that you are all doing okay and I can't wait to talk to you all on Christmas! Let me know if you want to skype or call because I don't have a skype and I don't know your username or anything. But, I love you guys, and I love missionary work. My trainee and I are killing it and hopefully we will see some baptisms here soon. Love you
