Things are going pretty great! Today we had a district activity. The Ap's are in our ditrict so we got to take the mission van instead of having to rent a jeepey which was 10x better! We went to a dam that is about 40 min away. We took a boat ride and went hiking. It was a good time and I will send pictures next time because I forgot my card reader.

We havent had any baptisms but we have got new investigators. A family who has their date for Nov. 22 and then 2 others that will be baptized soon as well. Things are going pretty great and I am learning so much out here. Everyday we will get about 5 to 6 lessons.

This week we had splits with the Zl's. The Zl's here in Cauayan are also the housing elders so they have a truck. I had splits with elder Bangal and we had the truck! It was a great time and I am doing way good with Tagalog. By the end of my mission hopefully I will be fluent. I am however forgetting words in English haha.

Next week we have Zone conference so that will be good! Time is just flying by and I am not looking forward to coming home.I think I may just live here mom.

Love you guys!

Oh and I dont really want to be picked up because I feel like I wont miss it here and I would rather come back when I actually miss it like the summer of 2016.

General conference was great! I really liked the 2 talks by Uchtdorf. We watched it at the stake center here in Cauayan with all the members and missionaries. It was a great time. On Sunday between sessions we had lunch at the mission home. We had pulled pork, chips and salsa and some brownies. It was nice eating something different for a change but I got LBM later that night haha.

My week has been good. We are still working with the Edillio family. They are great and the mom is really getting all of her kids to come and be taught. We will have a baptism when our investigator from Mindanao gets back. Right now we are teaching her husband who is one of Nanay Edillio's kids.

Time is just really flying by now. I am loving my time here even thought a lot of the time is just eat, sleep, study and teach but everyday flies by and is a blur haha.

It sounds like you guys are having a great time! We will have to party when I get back haha. Love you guys!

Things are going great!

Ya we are going to watch General conference this next weekend. I am pretty excited for it.

This week has been pretty busy. We always have teaching appointments and most of the time have dinner ones too. This weekend was our District conference so we were busy with that saturday and sunday.

We havent really had too much service projects here in Cauayan. I hope we get the opportunity to do some service soon. It would be a nice break from teaching every single day haha.

The members here are super great though. I am really close with a lot of them. Today we played basketball and volleyball with them.

I absolutely love it here so dont be surprised if i dont come home mom hahaha

Love you guys
