Crazy... to Even Think of Being Really Cold

Whats up family? I had a really good week here in Roxas City. Elder Price and I are working hard and doing okay. We aren't quite seeing the results we hope for but we aren't doing bad so it’s fine. Maybe we are being hard on ourselves. We are finding a lot of people, but they just don’t seem to be "the elect." They will have us in their homes but won’t do things to progress and learn about the truthfulness of our message. I am shocked about my bank account being so low. I feel like I haven't spent anywhere near that much but I have had a lot of things I had to buy so maybe it’s correct. Plus, I forgot the packages I have sent that are each like 5000-7000 or like $120-180. Sorry! I have been trying to be better with my money. That is crazy that Desert Hills and Hurricane are in the final for football. Did Spanish Fork go 3A this year? I bet Doug is excited about that haha. We had a pretty regular week. We found an indoor gym here that is wood floor and everything so it was way fun to play basketball on. We rented it out for two hours and played this morning from 10-12 so that’s why I am writing later than normal. That is crazy for me to even think of being really cold. It is always so hot it will be a crazy shock to go back into cold weather. That is way sweet about Nate Binks being home and talking. I like the story too. It is sweet how crazy things happen like that on our missions. The times we are the most frustrated and down is when crazy things happen and help us out. I bet his life is crazy adjusting back to home life. I got a letter from Evelyn the other day and I bet Brad and Emily are doing well. That would be rough to live so far away from where they are comfortable. Things here are going well and we are doing our best. I am loving life although I was a tiny bit sick this week. I had "sipon" which I think is like a "sinus" or something like that. I had a sore throat and a little cough and stuff but it didn’t affect our work at all so it’s good. I love you all and thanks for writing! Elder Garrett Christensen Hey here is Elder Christensen from the real "God's Country" How are you doing dad? I am doing well and we are working hard. To start off, this week was a boxing match of Manny Paquiao who is Filipino. So on Sunday the entire country stops and watches the fight. It made the work hard but was cool. He won after 12 rounds, is what a member told us, so everyone was happy here. That is cool that Nate Binks is home. That is coming up faster than I can even imagine! I will try to make the best of my time here. That is cool you got to go hunting for some pheasants. Elder Adams and I were talking just last night about pheasant hunting and Elder Colling said "Whats a pheasant? Like a squirrel?" Haha we were laughing, but he is from L.A. so I guess he would not know. We have a good friend here in the mission from Nebraska that said he will hook us up for pheasant hunting after the mission. That is also cool that the Utes are doing well. I hear they have a good defense but their offense sucks. Is that true? Anyway I love you lots dad and hope you are loving life. I love you and miss you akon tatay. Halong gid!
