Good morning!
I can't believe Elder Mataútia showed up in Carlsbad... That is so random! I was his zone leader in La Carlota before he went home and yeah he is a super cool missionary. He is from American Samoa. But anyways, this week was awesome here in Aguisan. We were able to find a couple new families and one of them is so prepared for the gospel! It is always nice to be able to see God's tender mercies. He is always helping us, whether we choose to realize it or not. Dad, you made a great Mormon, that's for sure, 'but I think you should have showed off the arms a little more. Well it still sounds like a party back at home, everyone is busy and I hope no body forgets my b-day coming up. I am expecting letters, pictures, videos... We got to go all out for my last b-day in the mission field. But I am super scared because that week is transfer week and if I get transferred before my b-day I will probably cry. We have so many progressing investigators here and so many baptisms coming up. But only 5 of them came to church on Sunday because of the rain... again. But there is always next week. Or at least there will be for the next 11 weeks. Time goes by so fast. Oh yeah, I wanted to ask you guys if there is anything you want from the Philippines? If not I will just keep my eyes open on p-day for cool stuff. I love you all so much and there is no doubt in my mind that this work is true. Get involved! The missionaries need you!
