Hey guys!

So im pretty sure I have strep throat. Hopefully I get to go to the doctor soon because I feel terrible! The rest of the week was good though until friday night when I felt sick.

On tuesday we had zone conference. It was alright. It was nice to see some people I havent seen in a while. That took all day though because it was 3 hrs away in Cauayan city. We learned about the restoration though and why we had to have one.

On wednesday we had spilts with the other elders here in cabbarogius. It was way fun. I really enjoy working with elder cabaltica.

Thats about it. Nothin much happened this week. We do have a baptism next saturday though.

Love you guys!

This week has been pretty good.

On tuesday we had splits with the ZL's. That was a good day. I was with Elder Williams. He is from Cali and is pretty cool. Its always fun working with another american. We were able to get 7 lessons that day. Plus we were in Santiago city which means we got to eat out for dinner.

We finally got one of the brothers we have been teaching to come to church. He said he enjoyed it and could feel the spirit. Hopefully next sunday both of them will come. We also found a less active family. The parents are sealed but their daughter hasnt been baptized. She is 10 and they came to church. The daughter has a baptism date for Aug 23. We also have a baptism this next saturday.

We have zone conference tomorrow so im pretty excited for that! Its about the restoration so it should be pretty good.

My leg is doing fine. We went to Mcdonalds haha the only american food here! And our soonest baptism is in 2 weeks.

This week has been a pretty busy week...

We have had about 5 to 6 lessons a day! Except on saturday...but its been a great week!

One of the recent converts in the ward, Pitong basco, is awaesome! He is so hard to teach but I love going over there. He has to have ADD haha but is a funny kid. He is only 11. We just found out that he is a drummer. They have there only little music room so before one of the lessons he showed us. He is really good for being only 11.

Our investigator, Kevin is doing great he has been to church 3 times now and has also said he wants to serve a mission. Im excited for his baptism in 2 weeks.

On saturday right before our very first appointment I got bite by a dog. It just ran up from behind, barked once and bite my leg. Then I turned around and kicked it but it freakin hurt. It broke the skin and tore a little bit of my pants. So that pretty much ruined our day. I had to go get it cleaned and stuff. So we worked later that night.

On Thursday the Family history President or whatever of the Philippines was in our area and treated us to dinner! It was great and we got to ride in his fancy truck!

Thats pretty much it! Love you guys! and sorry I frorgot my camera at the apartment so I dont have pictures to send.

Things have been rather boring this week.

Lots of walking and not being able to teach. Its alright though. One of our investigators has come to church twice in a row so he will be able to get baptized after two more. He is really cool. His family is less active and he was to young to be baptized when his family was. So 10 years later we found him and he just loves the Gospel! He is such a great example for me and I love being able to visit him.

During our walking we did come across a monkey in a cage though...so I decided to share the gospel with him haha. He was rather nice and really liked the pictures in the pamphlet.

My companion is starting to joke around a little but his jokes are still horrible and he laughs at the weirdest things haha. He tries to be a good missionary so thats good. I think I will be transferred after this cycle though.

I really love the ward im in. The people are so nice. The other week before we got support one of the families that has a tiny store gave us some food because they knew we were out. They are just really great people.

Love you guys!
