Alright so i have been a little freaked out since it has already been a year since i opened my mission call! feels like it was yesterday... anyway i  need to give a shout out to mom and cam, because its their birthday's, and a shout out to 9/11. how is cam going to be? like 27? he is getting old...Still trying to calculate the loophole in which mom constantly has a 22nd birthday, her kids are getting older than her! sorry i couldn't write any handwritten things, for one it takes time and such, for the second reason, all my envelopes have been sealed closed by the humidity. to answer dads question, i have not yet had any health problems other than LBM's for as long as i can remember haha. its been raining a lot here, but you can still be sweating at the same time, its quite the phenomenon. the mission work is going pretty good, our ward clerk mentioned to us that he heard from one of our ward missionaries that we "walk hard... i mean work hard."  me and my comp are doing good, but i liked it better when it was just 2 of us in the ward, but i guess it will help the work with 4.

we just got back from our district activity for the transfer, it was nice just to go out and relax, things can get pretty stressful on a mission. i am also going to go get a haircut later tonight. also next item of business, our next transfer day will be on September 25, i will be a little sad if i get transferred out of the area right before my birthday! but we will see what happens.

i am going to be 20 years old...i am getting to old...

oh yeah Maddy we were walking down the street and saw the movie "house at the end of the street, made me think of when we went to see it haha.

aAHH, we are going to the temple on the 17th! i am super excited for that! you Should know Why. also just so you know we go to the temple once a transfer. 

alright ill start seeing if i can upload some pictures from earlier today. 

. the internet here is super slow so i will keep on writting.

so this past week my companion wanted to play volleyball, so on our way to one of our appointments we saw some people at a covered court playing. so i sat down and he went and played. but he now knows that for the most part, volleyball in the Philippines is closely associated with transvestites. good times...

well i am all storied out... hopefully i can send more pictures next time, the internet is too slow here.

 

oh yeah one last good story, we went shopping last week (Sept 2nd) and we heard our first christmas songs! it was a little off because the supermarket is usually playing un-edited rap songs, but it was a good change. I am going to miss the snow, thankfully i come home right in the winter!
