Monday June 3rd 2013..... Times they are a changing.

This is Tatay Abner, our investigator. I had to leave him. He is my favorite person I have ever met in the Philippines. He is the one that wouldn't pray and though he still has a far way to go in his conversion I am proud at the progress he has made! I will always remember Tatay Abner. He is AWESOME! And VERY good in English! Also, the other Elder with me and Elder Datu is Elder Salas! He is awesome, I am taking his spot here in the office and I will be very sad to see him go. He is awesome and knows ALL! ALL! hahaha It will be scary to see him go!

A tad different that what he had become accustomed to.

      So much has happened this week... so much! The training of my aki, Elder Villamor, is finished and he is now training!! Meaning I am a grandpa! My son is going from TrainEE to TrainER! He'll do awesome! I am so proud of him! This week has been super insane.

       If I could choose one word to describe myself right now it would be SMALL! I cannot even begin to tell you what has happened this week. I have a new assignment, I will be companions with Elder Datu, again! Which is awesome, we get along great! Also I will remain in Naga Mission with President and Sister Reeder, I am excited to meet them and show them around Naga. I am terrified of this new assignment. But ever since President Bliesner called I have just wanted to throw up. I miss just plain old missionary work SUPER BAD!

       I feel very incapable. I have now been in the Philippines for 10 months and I have a lot of responsibility to do, throw in a prayer... a lot of prayers! I will be in this assignment for a solid 9 months. I am praying I don't get fat, but since I have been here I have eaten more fast food than I have in the past year, and we have a car- not burning fat sitting haha. I am pretty daunted by this assignment. Pray for me, again!

        We have been so busy this past week, late nights of transfer planning and not much sleep, or regular missionary work, I miss it A LOT! But things will calm down next week, and then they will get busy when the new mission president gets here! I really don't have much to say, I am scared, not going to lie! I feel very SMALL! 

       Well I love you all. I am sorry I don't have to many stories or anything.... WAIT! I NOW HAVE A PHILIPPINES DRIVERS LICENCE! That is way cool. But I miss walking down the rice fields. I also now have a washing machine.... and believe it or not I MISS HAND WASHING! I am going to struggle when I get back to the states. Good thing I still have a year to serve. Love you all. PRay for me hard and I will pray for you hard everyday of course!

P.S. Driving in the Philippines is CRAZY!
