Sorry I have not written in a while. I've just been busy. There have been a lot of changes here in the mission since We are now having the mission split. My address has now changed only from Baguio Philippines mission to Urdaneta Philippines mission. I have now served in 2 missions. Sweet! My companion went home. Makes me feel old in the mission since it will only be 6 months till my return. It's crazy how time flies... I don't know how I feel about it. Well, anyways, I'll write more about whats been going on next week. Just know that I love you guys and hope you have a great week.

Mother's Day Post

Well, I got transferred! It's nice as I no longer have to take care of contracts. That was way stressful. I'm now in Urdaneta mission side of the boarder. Meaning I most likely will no longer be in Baguio mission by the end of next transfer. My address WILL be changing. So keep your eyes out for when it does. Do not send me letters during June until I give you my new address or it may never get to me. I got a letter from Skylar this week. Thanks! Rainy season has started over here meaning I'm taking a shower almost all day everyday. Yay! It's not super hot anymore. Well, that's about it this week. Love you guys, over and out.

This week was extremely busy. We had two days where we could work due to meetings in Baguio and meetings in Urdaneta. It was crazy, but nice. I received letters from both Art (thanks for the artwork!) and Suzy this week. I'll send out replies next week! We've been working hard due to the mission split coming up. We have to get it ready for the new mission president in 6 weeks. That'll be quite a task! I'm pretty sure that will be my last transfer in this area. As a heads up, if you have a letter to send me, do it now. If you receive a letter from me in June, wait to send a reply until July, my address will be changing and I may not get you letter. Anyways, love you guys! I'm way exhausted! Take it easy and have a great week! Happy early mother's day. Remember the words of Mr. T "Mother there is no other like mother, so treat her right!"

I'm sorry first off for not writing anything for the past couple weeks. I've been pretty busy. For the last couple weeks we've been doing service projects, teaching, lots of meetings, finding apartments and houses for new missionaries and preparing the area for the new incoming mission president. Needless to say we've had a lot on our plate, so sorry for the delay, but there is my excuse! I got letters from family, B3 primary/Finigans, Shannon, and Brandon. I will try to send out letters as soon as I can, but please be patient. Also I'm sorry for the delay in uploading photos. I'm starting to get on it right now. There should be 20 up hopefully by the end of today. Anyways, I thank all you guys for the love and support I really appreciate it. The other day it kinda felt like I jumped 3 days into the future when I saw the date. I've been gone 16 months now. I can't believe it at all. Know that I'm working hard, healthy, happy and all that other good stuff. Love you guys and have a legit week!

Easter 2013

I have a new companion this week. His name is Elder Matthews. He's a really nice guy. Nerdy like me which is great! The week was pretty busy. We did a service project building a house for a recent convert. We also had a baptism this week. It's starting to get to be summer over here. It's way humid and hot over here right now, like when I first got to the Philippines. Pretty soon after this we get back to good old rainy season! Walking through waist high water and all that good stuff. Anyways, have a happy Easter, I love you guys!

Woo! It's been a full week. We've had a meeting about everyday. We've found out that the new mission home area will be located in the area I'm currently serving and thus we've had a lot of things to take care of this week in terms of finding larger housing, preparing the ward, along with teaching and doing service projects. In simplest terms, BUSY. However, it was nice. I enjoyed it and I'm always glad to be working hard. I got a letter from Jason this week, thanks dude! This week will include transfers, I'm pretty positive I'm staying in the area I'm currently serving in. But with how many changes are going on with the mission split in July it's VERY hard to tell right now. I'm sorry I haven't uploaded any photos recently. My USB drive has kinda acted up a bit. I'll try to upload again sometime soon. Anyways, I love all you guys. Have a great week and hope to hear from you guys soon!

I'm sorry I didn't write last week, I didn't have to much to say! I've been busy as always and time is flying SO fast. First off thanks Suzy, Tony and Burbank 3rd ward for the letters. It means a lot to me! I'll send out your replies as soon as I can. Probably next Monday or so. I'm pretty busy now so it's harder to write than usual. I'm hoping all of you had a great St. Patricks day. I'll be eating some corned beef somtime this week in order to celebrate my Irish pride. We did a lot of community service this week. We worked with cement and made stairs and then worked a marathon. It was pretty busy! But it was nice and enjoyable. Had 5 baptisms this weekend. At the moment I'm completely exhausted. This week will be even busier however, we have a meeting everyday. It's all good! Well anyways, keep writing, I love you guys and listen to some Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly to celebrate being Irish!
