Hey Kumusta po kayo pamilya? Everything out here is still amazing and we have finally hit the month of September WAHOO!!!! In a couple a weeks I will be able to get out of the states and go to the Philippines. All my teachers that we have had have told all of us so many things that so good about the Philippines and I have had a couple of teachers who actually went to Quezon City and they talked very highly of it. They told us about all the kinds of things in the Philippines that are really awesome one that really struck me was the fact that they have MANGO ICECREAM!!!! and thier mangos are out of this world. Belive it or not I actually have started eating bannanas here at the MTC the apples and oranges are never looking ripe so I never eat them and actually have been able to down multiple bananas at a time. I have had multiple experiences out here one especially dear to me was when we were actually able to ask our progressive investigator(teacher), convert to baptism and we have after been teaching him the Sampung Utos(Ten Commandments) , Salita ng Kanurungan(Word of Wisdom), and Kalinging-Puri(Law of Chasity). We have been able to feel the Spirit so strongly everytime we teach him. We just got a new guro(teacher) and we actually start teaching him today which I am very looking forward too. We plan on teaching him the first lesson and getting to know him very well. All the things that I do here are so amazing you just cant help, but feel the Espiritu Santo(Spirit) all the time. I am really excited to teach the Filipinos, I have been told they are exactly comparable to Tongans and Samoans which really excites me even more, because some of my really good friends are Samoan and Tongan. I have really enjoyed seeing many friends from school around here its awesome. Seeing Christiaan around is a daily basis, its so awesome to see him and the happiness he has for the work. I would really appreciate it if you guys could send me Tanner's and Preston's email addresses I really would like to hear from them and the progress that they are having out in the field since most likely I will be emailing most of my mission. Alam ko po na totoo ang Aklat ni Mormon at Simbahan ni JesuCristo ang mga Banal ng mga Huling Araw. Alam ko po na totoo ang Pagbabayad-Sala po si JesuCristo. Alam ko po na perpekto po si JesuCristo. Nagpapasalamat po ang opportunidad ng misyon at ituro sa tao sa Philippines. Nagpapasalamat po ang pamilya namin. Nagpapasalamat po ang Espiritu Santo sa buhay. Sa pangalin ni JesuCristo Amen. I love you guys and wish you all the best in your endeavors. Dad, I know you will do good in school and will be able to pass and be able to provide for the family. Mom, Im so glad that you got the hours that you did thats a blessing in its self. Addy, work hard in school and dont get senioritis its my biggest regret and dont get married before I get home. Ethan, kick butt in football and in wrestling, work hard and make sure to go over what you can do. Push yourself and always try to impress you coach in everything DONT GIVE UP!!!, and work hard in school as well dont let your studies fall. NG, you work hard in school as well and do more than what you teacher asks of you, and work hard in your sports. I love you guys again and miss you all tons.
