Hello from the future!

How is everyone? Things this week have been very bland believe it or not. The only thing that was really different is that transfers happened this week. What a difference! We lost three missionaries (all of which were the only sources of arguments and contention in the house) and got three new missionaries! Elder Prado, a guy from West Valley, Utah. Elder Roberts a Samoan from Riverside, California and Elder Siga from the Philippines. The Spirit has come back into our house as we all love and enjoy each other's company and willingness to obey the rules of the mission. Just a little switch changes so much!

The only new thing that I ate this week was chicken feet. It was pretty good! And no, Mom. That isn't saying that your food that I say is "pretty good" can be compared to chicken feet. It was pretty good as far as chicken feet go. hahaha.

I spent the last 2 days with a cold. I know. A cold in the Philippines. I think our AC was up too high and my hair was still wet when I fell asleep. Thats my story. But yesterday I stayed home. It was not something that I would want to do again. I missed being out there! I got really homesick! I started reading letters that I had saved, looking at pictures, wondering what was going on at home. Not good. So I threw together a rigorous study schedule and spent 6 hours of straight study. Wasn't homesick after that! Then I went outside when I was feeling better and played a little basketball with my temporary companion. I felt REALLY good after that.

Just got done bowling. Didn't do so great. Basically terrible.

Glad to know that Brian stepped up to the plate (crap. no pun intended) and told his coach about pitching and 2nd base. Have Courage! For the Lord is on our side! That's what I always say out here.

And Ben! Nice job dishing out Book of Mormons left and right. There is great power in that book. You can't read it and NOT feel something different. Remember that...

Well, my time is almost up. We waited tooooo long to come and email today. We spent all day cleaning our apartment. It went from really dirty to SUPER clean. OH! Story time. So last night I go to do my laundry and I see these two really big rabbits by the dryer. I turn on the light and they aren't rabbits. They are rats. Nice huh? Rats. That are big enough to snuggle with. Just huge.

Alright. I gotta go. We have to show a new member family how to hold Family Home Evening. They asked me to sing. Great. I don't even know what to sing.

Alright, take care!

Peace, love, turtle power....it's morphin time.
