January 26, 2014

Hey Family,
I guess I am a little early today because I missed your other letter but don't worry because I know you love me mom :) This week was super busy and went by so fast. Uhh! Does it ever annoy you guys when filipino kids stand behind you and watch you email?... Because it ticks me off. Anyways, Elder Tallano and I had a great week even though we weren't able to teach quite as many people as we wanted too. We are also struggling with our zone a little bit because we are the only ones with baptism and their numbers don't come anywhere close to ours. The problem is that they are all former leaders so I feel like an idiot trying to council them. Any Suggestions? On saturday we had the baptism of Sister Jonah mae Sumugat and sister Gloria Esmedia and it was awesome. Sorry I cant put the pictures on dropbox today because the computers here aren't compatible with usbs. I don't know why.. But hopefully next week I can update some pics of my appartment, the baptisms and the other stuff. Word on the street is that our next baptism here while have to be in the river because they just closed the church for renovation. Sweet! Yesterday after church we had to go to La Carlota to meet with the stake and mission presidency to talk about how the missionaries in our zone can help La Carlota district become a stake. My companion decided to leave everything to me even though I still suck at this language. Oh well it went good and they understood what I was getting at. But the hard part about Filipinos is getting them to act. Other than that, I have been sick for the last couple days and it has not been making working in the rain any better. But it will pass soon, I'm sure. I love you all so much and I miss you like crazy. Can't wait o talk to you next week. Peace out!
