Hello there family!!!!!

How are all you beautiful people doing?!?! It sounds like your all awesome, which is just fantastic. So, once upon a time, it was another totally awesome week here!!! Sobrang astig yung lingo ko! Pero, medio mahirap sa martes at mierkoles dahil masaket si Elder Packard. Kailangang namin stay sa loob yung bahay namin... medio dissapointing yan...

So, yes, Tuesday and Wednesday we had to stay inside because Elder Packard (companion) was hurt. Basketball.... tut-tut rough yan! Poor guys ankle... "Last night, my toe... was as big as my face!" Yup, so we were inside. But Tuesday we had bishops wife check it out, and while we were out we went and taught a lesson, and then the next day he was feeling well enough by night for an appointment. So thus far my record is perfect. Even with sickness and injury I have been out proselyting every day of my mission... yeah. That's whats up son! Just because I said that I am gonna end up breaking my ankle next or something....

So, this week was a good call though! We taught lots of good lessons, and Adrian! Man that boy is a stud! He still wants to go on a mission.. last week while we were out walking he had a session... it was pretty bad. It took us several hours to calm him down. But man he is a stud. Because of that we knew that returning was gonna be really hard. I didn't think we were gonna be able to go back for a while... but the very next day he went back with us!!!! He is still improving like crazy! Love him. He still teaches with us when we teach Ryan. And now Ryan is improving well too! Tonight we are gonna have a FHE with him. I am super excited for him. He is gonna teach the lesson. What would be really cool, because of his fear of leaving far from his home, if he overcomes his fear enough to mission, maybe it would be possible he would get called to the Naga mission to keep him close to home... and then get this, I train him! It would be super tight! And very unlikely, but possible!!!

So our favorite family, the Santillan now has two new members of the family (well, kinda....)! Their dad went and picked him up from Manila this last week. He is 11. Way tight! Their family is amazing and they are progressing way well! Only hold up is the marriage... the children might have to get baptized first because the marriage might take a while. They were waiting to start on that till sister had her baby, and this morning, she had her baby!!!! And she is super cute! We went and saw her this morning at bishops. The scary thing was that sister didn't do well and they were actually afraid that she might not make it, but like... two minutes ago we found out she will be ok. So we are super excited! There family just went from 5 to 7 in like... 7 days.

This morning we had a district activity on the beach. We played volleyball... It was super hard to resist the urge to jump in the water and jump in the waves.. oo, that was rough. But I did it! I'll try to get a pic for ya.

Haha, we were teaching Leo this week about Adam and Eve... haha, we were like, "so, what happened when they ate the fruit?" Cause he said he knew the story... he was like, "uhhh.... they turned to stone?" Hahahaha, not quite. Close, I think your thinking salt, and that would be Lots wife. Or maybe Medusa... Hahaha, it was funny though. He is still doing awesome. But he has lots of work so its hard to teach him.

So the other week we found Ten friends hanging out that are all way interested. Gloria is the nanay that lives there.... so Gloria and company.. Yup, they are super awesome. Lots of them already want baptism... its just hard to teach them all together... but they are leaving on a trip today (some of them), so I probably won't be seeing them again. But they are super dope!!!

Anywho, that's all I can remember for now. Peace out! Love Ya!

The First one is us on the Beach.. playing Volleyball.

This is part of our area... by the way that green grass is the path we were walking on... its super gorgeous... be jealous!!!

Oh, and I invented a rat trap.. that's what that last one is... Here are the ingredients:
1 medium sized bucket
Water

Instructions:

Fill the bucket mostly full of water.

Yup, that's it. We had 4 rats commit suicide in the bucket. I think they were trying to drink and then fell in. Tight!!!! Yup, that's our lesson for today on how to get rid of rats! Love you all! Peace Out!!!
