News :)

Hey Guys,
  To all the Fathers out there i say HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!! :) i hope its good for you all :). This week was was kind of rough just cause like nothing was really happening but on sunday i received some relief and so that was nice. A blessing of going to church :) Cause a lot of cool things happened like people came who i didnt expect and so that was awesome. It was great and i was very thankful for it :) I want you all to know how very grateful i am to you for doing your best to always be apart of your families and i hope you always try because that is what the Lord expects...always be good righteous Priesthood holders, lately a lot of talks in conference has been for the men and what they need to do as Priesthood holders. Study that and apply it. It is important and it seems to be a trend. Also thank you for your prayers in my behalf and all the missionaries :) they are greatly appreciated and needed. I am learning a lot out here especially about cooking and being a smart financial planner which is going to be very helpful. Thanks for always reading this and emailing me when you can :) Thank you all for being good fathers and good examples to me..Ive gained a testimony of family and really how important they are to God and how important it is for them to work together under the principles of the gospel. Anyway thanks for all of you who read this :) and hope all is well with you in your lives. Stay strong in the gospel..it truly is awesome :)
Thats all i guess.

hey

This week has been alright. Right now though its been raining a lot and so we have no water...so we've showering with the buckets that are filled with water and so thats fun lol but very cold and the weather is already cold lol. So its medyo (somewhat) trying...but thats ok lang( alright) cause its a learning expereince :) and its normal to shower in shorts outside here too :)....Um Guimaras is way cool still although its very wet and so you have to have fans dry your clothes cause its too cold for anything to dry lol. But its still fun :) and loving this cooler weather...two nights in a row now i havent needed a fan cause its been like perfect sleeping weather lol so thats been nice. The missions going good, still learning a lot and the language is coming along great :) and on June 11 ill have been here 6 months so im at my 1/4 mark already lol...crazy. I hope things are well with you all and i hope your lives are going well. Thank you for all your reading :) So turns out the Philippines has two independence days June 12 and July 4 ironically lol so its pretty exciting...there are so many holidays here its crazy lol. Oh and i got to experience my first funeral March...there was a dead guy that had passed away and was being driven and so it was no big deal..the big deal was the numberless concourses of people behind him...like trikes...jeepneys...people walking, people riding on motorcycles in the POURING RAIN...for miles and i mean miles like we waited for like 15, 20 mins before we were able to move again in the van it was crazy...so many people...so yah that was interesting...i mean i thought Micheal Jackson died again because there were so many people all following this dead guy in the car that carries dead people. It was so weird..just when you think you know the Philippines...something like that happens..and you realize...no i dont lol. But anyway yah that was mainly it. Just doing work for the Lord and ive really been growing :)
Its fun. Loving it :)
Hope all is well with you all and Washington's not too cold lol..it feels somewhat like Washington here...with the no sun and the rain lol.
