January 19, 2014

Hello,
First off, I am super jealous that Kelly ran a marathon. But now i'm over it. This week was super awesome but it also kicked the crap out of me. I have been so tired and the other day I had a girl in my branch take my blood pressure and she said I was gonna die if I didn't start getting more sleep. Or at least thats what I think she said. Who knows, I am still learning this language. I really wanted to watch those two videos you sent but I couldn't open them up and play them for some reason. Elder Tallano work super hard this week but on Wednesday we ate lunch at this place that apparently didn't cook their chicken and we both got sick from it. We worked anyways just because we are B-A like that but we always tried to stay close to the house or a bathroom if you know what I mean. haha I finally got to put some pictures on drop box. I just hope they stayed on because the computer shut down as they were downloading. Life in the Philippines... So on Saturday, we had the Baptism of sister Jessica Colache which went great. I have started to kind of earn the love of the members here and I have a long way to go but I know Ill get to them... haha We also moved from our church to a small meeting house which is really just a tent because they are gonna build a real chapel in La Castellana. We are super stoked but this is the Philippines so it will take more than a year to be finished. Other than that good news, the work is going well. We had eight investigators come to church yesterday and they all have baptismal dates. I suspect that about 3 of the will actually be baptized but I still pray for all of them. ha The Lord really is behind this work. It's interesting that the more I am humbled in the mission, the more susceptible I am to the promptings of the spirit. I love this work, and even though its hard, it is all worth it. I hope that you can feel some of the blessings of my service but I also pray that you will have some of the same experiences and feelings. Always be looking for those that the Lord is preparing you for. There is always someone who needs help. I love you guys and miss you like crap. DUECES
