These are some random pictures that I got off of the blog that Sister Rahlf kept for the missionaries.

This concludes the written record that Jaden sent to us from his mission.  I am so proud of him and how hard he worked on his mission.  He is a man, mature and grown up and I can really tell the difference of what two years of good hard work serving the Lord can do.  I love you Jaden!

Yes we had a baptism this saturday! She got baptized and it was a great experience. She gave a wonderful testimony at the end of the service.

Soooo im sick again. I have a bacterial infection thing in my throat. I have white patches and its a little swollen. I might have to go to the mission home for a couple of days. I do have medicine i am taking that will hopefully help. I do feel pretty horrible. It sucks this happens my last week!

On tuesday we had a good zone meeting. That was the last time I have to teach district or zone meeting! I am going to miss the elders and sister in my zone right now. We are all really close.

The activity last monday was fun. A bucket of balls was only like 40 pesos which is like a dollar haha and there was a guy to tee up every ball. except the tee was some dirt hahaha

Oh and President Rahlf and Sister Rahlf attended our baptism that was on saturday so that was nice:)

Our branch president has also planned a FHE/farewell for me on monday:)

Love you guys

My week was good:) and I am starting to feel a little trunky.. my companion from the MTC went home on friday. He got realeased early to make it back in time for school.

On tuesday I had to teach district meeting. My companion and I switch off teaching. It is because we are the zone leaders and the district leaders for one of the districts. It went pretty good. I just recycled one of the lessons that I had already planned.

On Wednesday and thursday we focused on getting our investigator ready for the baptismal interview. Her interview was saturday at the church and she passed so her baptism will be this saturday. Her husband and her youngest have later dates. She didnt want to wait for them haha.

On friday we had our weekly planning and we went to the computer shop to do it. My companion did it on like word or something. It was pretty nice not having to write it all out but just print it.

On sunday during church the branch president gets up and at the pulpet asks me how many days I have left hahaha. Then while working we were just going around talking to people because we went to an area we have been to yet and it was funny to see the people running away when they saw us.

Love you guys!  Oh and then today we had a zone activity.. we went to a driving range haha... this is me and my companion.

Things are going good.

This week went by really fast. On tuesday after district meeting we had a zone lunch and one of the other elders paid for everyone so that was nice. I didnt have to teach this past tuesday. It was a nice break from teaching district meeting. I do have to teach tomorrow tho.

On Thursday we had splits with the ap's. It was good. I was with elder waldron who is my batch. We had a good time and taught some good lessons. And being able to use the truck was nice haha. At the dinner appointment we had, the family still remembered who I was and were happy to see me. It wasnt in my area but they were part of the branch I served in when I was assigned in cauayan.

On friday morning after the splits President Rahlf gave us a ride home. He said he had to go check on some sisters.

On saturday we had to go to Gamu for a baptism interview. After that we were able to go to Mcdo for lunch. The cordova family is doing well. They have their baptism interview this saturday and we also have several baptisms to attend.

This week is elder larson's last week! He goes home on Friday. He was my companion in the MTC and it was nice being in the zone right next to his. We were able to play ball and hangout today.

I also got my flight plans!! I got them on thursday when we were on splits in cauayan. See you guys in 23 days!!

Mahal ko kayo!

Things are going pretty good. We had a super busy week.

On wednesday my companion had new leaders training in cauayan so we were there pretty much all day. I was on splits with some of the elders that are assigned there. I was with elder Enuake. He is a poly and i wish that i had a poly companion haha.

On thursday we had Elders conference. It was pretty good. We talked about being worthy priesthood holders, planning and setting goals. That was another all day things in cauayan.

On saturday we were eating at mcdonalds and I saw some people from my last area. That was a nice surprise:)

Our investigators that have a date for aug 15 are doing great! They are probably some of the strongest members in the branch.

I love you guys!

And i am going to banawe soon! use to be one of the 8 wonders of the world. Lots of souvenir stuff so any money would be appreciated:) 

Things are going good! I have a new companion now. Elder Treyes. He was just called as a zone leader. He is from Bocolod city. He is 22 and is pretty cool.

The area is pretty tough. We have a TON of less active members. Our branch president isnt very strong. His first counselor is less active and the second counselor was just baptized in february. We are doing the best we can. We do have baptisms coming up for aug 15.

This week my compaion has new leaders training in cauayan. I have to go with him so i think I will be able to work in my older area there in cauayan. Then we have an elders conference on Thursday. That should be cool.

Thats pretty much it haha Love you guys!

Things are going good! This week went by really fast.

We had MLC on wednesday which ment we were in cauayan all day. It was good. Sis. Rahlf talked about "If there is a will there is a way." It was good and then presidnet talked about "to do and to be". so these are the things that we have to teach tomorrow to our zone.

Then on thursay we went to cauayan again so my companion could take his CLS test. Its an english test so that he can get a certificate and help him get a better job. So we were there pretty much all day again.

Our time for church got changed to 1 pm. Not really excited for that. And not very many came to church. There were about 20 of us. It might have been because there was a typhoon just north of us. It is hard working in such a small branch.

1. What has been your biggest challenge this week? Church. We pretty much have to run everything.
