I Just Adore Their Family. It Will Be Hard to Leave Them.

Hey guys what is going on?!

   This week was cool! We had zone leader counsel on Wednesday which was sweet. We learned about having a vision, or goals, planning to accomplish them, and accountability for what we do. President Pagaduan is the one who taught us. Then we ate steak, chocolate cake and vegetables, it was amazing! Sister Pagaduan is the third best cook ever (behind you mom, and you dad, of course).

   Elder Naylor and I were able to have another baptism as well. It was junior and he completed the Maximo family! They also got the Aaronic priesthood and two of the boys passed the sacrament. I just adore their family. It will be hard to leave them.

   We also had stake correlation on Saturday night where we correlate all the missionary efforts to our stake president. It went well. We report on less-active work, how our wards are doing on home teaching and lots of other stuff.

   We also now have a firm appointment for when we can visit the mayor, it is on September 20. We are excited to do that and President Pagaduan is also coming with us. We have a small Christus statue that we will give him as a token.

hhhmmmm...I am out of words...

   Sounds like you had a good time in Mexico. I am jealous of you haha. The weather was probably the same though. Did you love it? This week we don't have much going on. Just work and that's it.

   That is cool about Jeff and Cambria. I am excited for them, and that I will be able to go to their wedding!

Well, that’s all from Iloilo,

Love you all,

Hey dad wassup wichu???!!

   Things here are going well. We had another baptism which went well. I love the photos from Cabo. You guys are so gwapo and gwapa! I am so proud that you are my parents.

   Now maybe you know a little about how weird it is to change foods haha! I feel the same. Sometimes when we can get McDonalds I just feel like I am in heaven for a few minutes haha. except I am now hooked on Filipino food so don't worry, I am not complaining at all!

   I can't believe that Utah got beat by Utah State! Lame....

   Time is flying by and we can never get it back! I can't believe we are in the 20's now of my total days left. CRAZY. Scary but exciting.

I love you dad.
