hey! thanks so much! i love the update! sounds like everyone is doing great!!! wow, the gospel sure blesses families!!!! thats one of the things i've really noticed since i've been out! countless are the blessings he has given us! and kourtnee will do fine, you are right, she needs to study! we gotta do our part before god does his. (even tho there were alot of times where i didn't do my part in school and i guess i just got lucky! haha) and about olivia and porter..i haven't heard anything???what song? i'll look thru my emails.. also, this week on wednesday, we'll have Leadership training, so thats when i'll get mail and stuff. so thank you so much for advanced! if i don't get it this week i'll get it next week. just cuz we're in the farthest zone, we don't get mail alot.  and usually the mail gets to manila and then it takes forever to get here cuz...they go by filipino time! which means everything is late! i can't believe i'll be 20 tomorrow and in two weeks i'll be out for a year and then it all starts counting down! im never going to be trunky tho , 'im only going to pass thru this place once". never again as a full time missionary. so i'm loving the mission!
so thanks so much for the update!
this morning we played ultimate frisbe on a white sand beach in Northern Samar, Bobon. it was awesome! it was really tempting to get wet cuz it was hot and the water was probably too warm! but it looked refreshing!! so im having awesome experiences here! as for the language, its going good. in my area, it has 3 langauges. its fun. i like it cuz i get to use both waray and cebuano and then i get to practive tagalog. but man, there are still those days where i feel like i can't speak at all!! but i've been blessed with the language.
so hows the waggamans?? hows your side of your family?? we need to get them all back into the church! we need them to return! once they truly understand the doctrine of jesus christ, they will truly understand and never be less active! their spiritual roots will grow deeper by the understanding of the doctrine. thats what i'm learning here! there is so many Less active! but they are coming back...slowly! ha but really how is everyone??
tell everyone hi!
Love you!
