<span style="font-kerning: none;">There was a crazy thing that happened yesterday. I was walking to a recent convert's house, Algene, to say goodbye to him (because I'm coming home on Wednesday) and I said to Elder Ahn, "it smells like those mini pizzas made out of english-muffins." then he was like, "Wow! I used to make those all the time in college! Man I want some of those right now." skip forward about 2 hours. We finished visiting Algene and also just finished teaching our recent convert, Michelle for the last time (because I'm coming home on Wednesday). The closing prayer just ended and Michelle stands up and says, "wait lang kayo." then she goes into the kitchen and brings out a plate of little mini pizzas made on little english-muffin-like bread. How crazy is that?!?! I haven't had those in probably like 4-5 years, and haven't even heard about them existing in the Philippines! Then Michelle says something to the effect of, "<b>Masarap ba?”</b> [It is delicicious?] I haven't ever tried making these before. I just wanted to experiment. I am 100% sure of some divine intervention here. :) Moroni was right. Miracles really haven't ceased. haha</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Something weird happened today. We woke up at 5:15, and went to the airport to say ingat to Elder McCauley. He is leaving us to go off to bigger and more time consuming things. He's the new AP. As we said goodbye Elders Isla, Ludlow, Ahn and myself all got into formation and performed a haka we had been practicing. It was intense, and we got a lot of stares, but it was fun! </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">On Saturday afternoon we went on a trip to Narra to view a baptism of one of Elder McCauley's previous investigators and as we drove past Aborlan a lot of memories came flooding back to my <b>utak </b>[brain] from when I was assigned there. I didn't get to stop and visit anyone, but it was fun anyways just to drive through my old stomping grounds. :) That was a nice area. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I went on some exchanges with Elder Nisperos and Elder Mickelson which was really fun. They are fresh--starting and Elder Mickelson is still in his training, so that was pretty fun. We did a lot of finding. That evening we were walking down the road and a group of people were gawking at my height like they always do, so I started talking to them about basketball and stuff, then told them we were missionaries and asked if they were up for us teaching them right then. They were just nakatambay (hangin' out) on the side of the road, and sort of far daw from their houses, so we just taught them right there. It was pretty fun. I haven't had a side of the street lesson in quite a while. We just shared real quick about the restoration and got a return appointment. It was pretty cool. OYMing people is fun. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Today was pretty fun too. Remember last week when we had a super crazy awesome beach party? Well we did it again, but with the Narra zone this time. The Porteouses invited us to come with them, so we had another budol fight, played more football, ate loads more banana graham cake, and I wore my sweet new hat Elder Porteous gave me the whole time. It was a blast. There should be some pictures of it on the mission facebook page. Go check it out!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">This week has been pretty nice if I do say so myself, which I do. Probably the best thing that happened was when we had hot dogs for dinner last night. It was pretty great. They were not just the cheap Tender Juicy ones that are not very good. We got the way good brand that makes your mouth explode with flavor with every bite. Not many things can top a good hot dog. Except for maybe the 2 baptisms we had last Saturday. I guess the hot dogs got bumped down to a close 2nd place for the best thing that happened this week. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><b>Kanina</b> [a little while ago] was fun too. Elder Ahn and I put our violin skills to use and played a song in a necrological service (I still don't know why it's not just called a funeral here), then we quick changed clothes and went to a beach zone party where we all played volley ball, foot ball, and ate loads of food in vudol fight form. That's when you put a bunch of <b>kanin</b> [rice] on some banana leaves and then you put a bunch of ulam on the banana leaves, then everyone goes crazy and eats all the food with their hands like wild animals. It's probably the funnest way to eat in the whole world. Too bad Utah doesn't have any banana leaves, otherwise y'all could try it too. Oh well. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Monday was super fun though up until the evening when the goose bumps mentioned above started kicking in. We went to the Crocodile farm here in Puerto and it was sweet! They don't actually grow crocodiles out of the ground like I was expecting. It's more like a reserve where they take them if they are found in areas where they could be a threat.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">That's about all we did on Monday that was very exciting. Actually that's not true. We also ate at Mang Inasal. That's always exciting. :) Once we got home Monday evening I started to feel the <b>lagnat </b>[fever] coming on. The entire night was full of me rolled up into the tightest ball possible, probably similar to a rolly polly bug, shivering under my sheets not sleeping. It was pretty rough. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Once Tuesday rolled around I was feeling a little better, so we went over to the Porteous' to do something important I don't remember what, then I ate some poached eggs and toast then the Porteous' left to pick up President Fermanis from the airport. Once they left my goosebumps came back and this time it came with some regurgitated egg. Lets just say the next hour and a half was spent knelt on the CR floor vomiting into the toilet. Once that was over we went to the church to help with interviews because President Fermanis wanted to interview the entire Palawan in one day. We were there to keep order, but I figured my companions had it covered so I just laid down on a bench and tried to not die. That's pretty much all I did for the rest of the day. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Wednesday was our zone conference so that was fun and I was feeling loads better that day. Good thing too, 'cause I was conducting the meeting. :) At the end of the meeting I realized when President Fermanis asked me to bear my testimony that that was my very pinaka-last zone conference of my mission. That was weird. I talked about how the Book of Mormon is true and how God loves me because of toothpaste. It was really nice. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">The only things worth mentioning on Thursday is that we did service at a recent converts house, and we had stake coordination that evening. The service was fun though. We did a bunch of pagdadamo (weed pulling) in her front yard and made it look all nice and beautiful, then Elder Ludlow and I built a super <b>matibay </b>[strong] bamboo fence. After all our kasipagan (hardworkingness) we went inside and had a vudol fight. That's when you get a banana leaf (the really gigantor ones) cover it in rice and ulam and other food, then everyone just turns into wild animals and starts eating everything with their bare hands. (Good thing it's not with their bear hands or things could get a little out of hand. hahaha) As we were leaving it started raining super crazy hard and the roads were all flooded and it was wild. It's always awkward when the roads all turn into rivers. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Saturday was fun. We went to Roxas for another baptismal interview. It was with an investigator that I had been teaching for a long time when I was there. His name is Lester. I don't know if I ever told you his <b>kwento</b> [story], but to sum it up, he is 12 years old, has been coming to church consistently for the last 9 months and every week used to ask me, <b>"Elder Fawson, kailan ang binyag ko? Gusto kong mabinyagan."</b> [“Elder Fawson, when is my baptism, I want to be baptized.”] And I would always respond, <b>"Pag hindi ka na nagkakape, pwede kang mabinyagan."</b> [When you’re not drinking, you can be baptized.”] The only problem is that he didn't stop his pagkakape (drinking coffee). Now I got to interview him and he's going to be baptized this Saturday. I'm so happy for him. He is one of the coolest 12 year olds I know. When he prayed during the interview he basically bore testimony to Heavenly Father that he knows the church is true, Joseph Smith and Thomas S. Monson are true prophets, the Book of Mormon is true, and everything. It was so cool! I'm sad I won't be able to attend, but I'm just happy it's finally going to happen. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Sunday was cool, because after church two of our investigators got interviewed too for baptism and they both passed. Remember Amalia and Kier, whose sister I taught in Aborlan? They're getting baptized also this Saturday at 2:00 pm at the Malvar chapel. You're invited if you want to come. :) I guess if you wanted you could just stay up ‘til midnight on Friday and then acknowledge that it is happening at that very second. That might be fun. :)You'll get some photos of it next week, so be excited for that. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">This week was crazy! We had so much stuff going on it was ridiculous. Monday was fun. We had a birthday party for me. It was super awesome. We bought a 1,300 piso brick of real cheddar cheese (none of that fake Eden cheese nonsense) cooked up some macMoroni noodles, melted the cheese on the noodles and had homemade macMoroni and cheese. It was pretty tasty. Then there was lots of noodles left over and I'll tell you what we did with those later. (Suspenseful music)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Tuesday was crazy too. We went to the airport to catch our flight to manila for MLC and our flight was delayed pala. <b>Dapat</b> [must be] we left at like 2:00ish, but we didn't really leave until like 5:00. It was okay though, because we landed in the correct terminal and got some delicious Wendy's Bacconators. MMMMM BOY!!!!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Wednesday was MLC and it was super great. We learned about how to have the spirit poured out upon us and our areas, then talked about how to be effective leaders and then we ate some tasty MLC brownies and stuff. It was quite a success in my opinion. After MLC we were able to go to the temple, so that was of coarse a sublime experience. The temple is always nice. I was sitting in the celestial room and remembered the chandelier that used to be there. I think it was really just too great for this mortal sphere and is now hanging somewhere in the eternal realm of the celestial kingdom. The new chandelier is really nice too though and has lots of <b>kulay</b> [colored] rainbow sparkles. Yeah. The temple is the best!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Thursday was another miracle day. I went on another Crest hunt, because my toothpaste is almost out again and I was so worried that it wouldn't last on more month. Fortunately God listens to all our prayers and I was blessed with success once more. After I got my toothpaste we went to the airport and flew back to Palawan where we got home, had a short nap (because the previous days were full of gypped sleep and other super <b>nakakapagod na</b> [fatigue] things) and went out to teach a couple investigators. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I have to tell you about a couple of our investigators. Their names are Amalia and Kier. They are <b>magkapatid</b> [siblings], and super amazingly progressing. The coolest thing is that they are a part-member family. Their sister, Armalyn, was baptized a little more than a year ago in Aborlan by a couple of Elders by the names of Elder Corpuz and Elder Fawson. Yup. How much radder can it get? Well let me tell you. Amalia and Kier are only 14 and 16 years old and have already read the Book of Mormon through Alma. They're getting baptized on the 30th of this month. Let me just tell you now, this is the epitome of ASTIG!!!!!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;"> Friday was busy too. We went and had to look at some bikes with the senior couple here for the Elders in Taytay, then we had weekly planing, so that took up almost the entire day. We did get to work for a few hours that evening though, so that was happy!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Saturday was way cool. Elder Andersen came to the Philippines to organize the 100th stake here in the country, the Mandaluyong stake, and last Saturday he did a priesthood leadership conference and we listened to a 4 hour broadcast of his teachings. It was really awesome. He taught about keeping the gospel simple. There are so many things and expectations and stuff that it can be overwhelming and hard for people to get it sometimes. It's important to keep it simple and easy to understand. There was some other stuff too, but this was my favorite. It was great!!!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">yesterday was pretty much just the average Sunday except that we did some creative stuff for dinner. Remember the left over macMoroni from my birthday? We decided we needed to get it out of our fridge, so we created a new food. We whipped up a couple eggs, stirred in some hot sauce, put the noodles in it, then tossed it on the frying pan so it was like frying an egg, but with lots of noodles in it. Then we sprinkled some cheese on top and covered it with pepperonis. it was like an sunnyside-down macMoroni pizza. That's what happens when you don't prepare food for the sabbath. You just throw random stuff together, but it was honestly super <b>masarap </b>[delicious]. We called it the Ahn McFawsonley. Pure genius. :) I'll include a photo so you can sort of imagine what it was like. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Who wants to know about a a cool miracle that happened this morning? Syempre everyone! I was preparing for the day and was waiting for Elder McCauley, my new guwapo companion, to finish ironing his shirt. He finally finished and I started my own then after like 2 minutes I realized that the iron wasn't even hot even though it was plugged in. I was confused because it had worked so well for Elder McCauley, but not for me. Turns out right as I started a burnout started too and we didn't have any koriente. I decided to wait for it too come back, but after like a half hour we decided to have a kabahay prayer and ask Heavenly Father to please bless us with electricity. About 2 minutes after the "amen" the electric fans started going and we were back in business. Then we knelt down and gave another prayer of gratitude. It was super cool. Moral of the story, God loves us and wants us to be happy. It was really cool. Now I have a wrinkle free polo and am feeling oh so fine. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">It's been a crazy week. Transferring is always crazy, but this one especially because I usually have time to actually get familiar with my new area for the first few days, but not this time. We have been so busy doing so much stuff. Last Saturday we went back to Roxas for a baptismal interview (I conducted the interview which was fun because I taught the candidate a a couple times on exchanges before I transferred). We also had a meeting with the Porteous' about some stuff we needed to coordinate to combine the Roxas and Puerto zones, and then just a bunch of other stuff that abducted almost all our proselyting time. We'll probably go back to Roxas again this Saturday for another baptismal interview. This one is someone that I would've baptized had I not been transferred. I'll just have to interview her instead. :)</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We did get to teach a few lessons though. One of them was with some new investigators we found in a fun way. We were looking for this lady and we went up to this house to ask if they knew her, but before we could say anything they told us to come in and sit down. We just sort of played it cool and pretended we knew what we were doing, but really we had no idea who these people were. Turns out they were a family of previous investigators of almost a year ago. We taught them and are going back on Tuesday. Then we also found Saphia (the person we were looking for in the first place) and taught her too. :) It was cool. This week I'll be able to get to know the area and current investigators better... if we have time after MLC and all. We're going to Manila on Wednesday and Thursday, so that'll snip out a chunk of time to teach, but it's fine. MLC is the best!</span></div>

I'm still on Palawan which is nice, I have sweet companions which is nice, yesterday was my birthday which was way nice, and we're making some homemade macaroni and cheese for lunch later which will be super nice! Yup. I'm doing good! :) Hopefully you all had as great a week as me and have a nice upcoming week as well. I know I will. Mahal ko kayo!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Many of you may be thinking this is just an average day in the same computer shop I've been e-mailing in for the last 8ish months, but you thought wrong. I'm in Puerto right now in a computer shop I've never seen before in my whole 19 years and 358 days of being alive on this earth. We (Elder Tanner and I) left Roxas yesterday and stayed the night here in Puerto, then last night we had a most excellent spaghetti dinner, with some nice salad and a tasty graham cake in commemoration of Elder Tanner and Ullery's last Sunday in the mission. We woke up at 4:20 this morning to get ready and dropped them off at the airport. They are already in Manila right now. While sitting in this computer shop, the transfer info just came in. I'm going to lumipad to Puerto and be zone leader here. My companions (yup. that's plural, with an "s") will be Elder Ahn, and McCauley. They are both super awesome and this is going to be one of the greatest last transfers of my mission!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">The only problem now is that all my <b>damit</b> [clothes], <b>gamit</b> [stuff], and other Kwan is all <b>naiwan </b>[behind] in Roxas. Looks like I'm making a road trip up there tonight to pack and stuff. My recent converts are going to be super bummed. I'm going to miss the Rublez family so much. They were the very first people I taught when I got to Roxas last February. I helped baptize them, and am now working on teaching the sister of Sister Marissa. That's going to be a hard goodbye! There are lots of people we were working with that are progressing super well. I think next transfer there could be 8-10 baptisms in that area. The people we were teaching were super solid in everything. I know the missionaries that are taking over though, and they are way awesome!!! I'm sad to go, but I'm still going to zone leader of Roxas too, because the Roxas and Puerto zones just combined, so I'll still be updated with everything. Also I'll be going back at least once this transfer to do exchanges, so I'll be able to see everyone again then as well. :) </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I got my itinerary sent to me today too, so that was sorta weird. I'll be arriving in St. George around 11:10 PM. That's pretty late. I hope Subway is still open at that time! That's a good idea about seeing Claire and Jon in Salt Lake. I think that would totally work out. I will be able to hold baby Margot, and see if Eevee still knows who I am before I even get home. I'll have to teach some Tagalog to Mila too so next time they come to visit home we can have secret conversations about My Little Pony and no one would ever suspect us. hahahahaha</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Kind of a lot is going through my mind right now after hearing about transfers, and getting my itinerary and all that I can't really think about anything very interesting in comparison to talk about. We paid the electric bill the other day. that only happens once a month. It was about 1,400 Pisos. That's about the equivalent of $30. Does electricity cost much more than that in America? I don't really know. If you add the water bill on top of that it may be about $35. It's a good thing we split that between the two of us. I don't know if my support could handle paying all that on my own. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Another cool thing happened on Saturday that may catch Heidi's interest. We went to visit our recent convert Jocelyn so Elder Tanner could say farewell, and when we got to their house there was a baby monkey that Tatay Sanchez found and caught. Now they have a pet baby monkey and he is oh so very very cute and I pet him, and hawaked him, and played with his baby monkey ears. It was so awesome!!! I didn't have time to copy the pics to my flash drive, so maybe next week you can see his <b>kaastigan</b> [very good]. Yup. Fun stuff. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Before I get into the everyday goings on in my life, I have a story to tell you. I woke up Wednesday morning and thought it would be just an average morning, but little did I know there would be something very different. It all happened when cooking my breakfast. I put my bread in the toaster oven thing, then turned on the stove to heat up the pan for my eggs. I grabbed a couple eggs from the fridge, and cracked one onto the pan. It was perfect. The yolk didn't break or anything! I flipped the egg. <b>Perpekto pa rin</b> [perfect still]. I spatula-ed it onto my plate. I cracked the other egg onto the pan and much to my surprise, the egg whites wasn't very white. I think we could call it egg greens. I cooked it just like a regular egg and it turned out alright, except that it was green. I debated on not eating it, but then said to myself, “walang sayang!” [‘no affection!”] You may be thinking that's super gross, but I remembered Dr. Seuss' book, Green Eggs and Ham. That guy didn't want to eat the green eggs, but thanks to Sam I Am's persistence, he figured out that green eggs are actually really good. I can now testify for myself, that green eggs are not the best, and not nearly as good as the normal egg, but it didn't kill me either. (I included a photo of my green egg) Later on in the week we learned that almost the entire carton of eggs we bought that week were super bad and not suitable to be eaten by humans. We tossed them out and the neighbors dog went for them. So much for walang sayang. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">A crazy thing happened yesterday. We got home in the evening and were super hungry so we made a huge thing of spaghetti and ate ourselves silly, then later while Elder Tanner was taking out the trash (sometimes he likes to do the Rob job) and the neighbors were having a birthday party and were like, "<b>Kain tayo!" </b>[Let’s eat] That's the Filipino way of saying hi if they just so happen to be eating at the time. They don't really want to share their food, unless they say it 3 times. That's the magic number daw (There goes that school house rock song again! haha) the first time he was just like "sige po" like we always do. Then they said it again, "Kain tayo." He started explaining we had just filled our bellies to the brim on spaghetti when it happened the 3rd time. "Kain tayo!" (Notice the explanation point on this last one) He couldn't refuse. We went and they loaded up a couple plates for us. It was good food, but we were already oh so super duper busog. Somehow I managed to get it all down. Then it was like 10:25 and time for sleep. I still haven't eaten anything today and I'm still not hungry. Fun story huh. Yup. Filipinos take their birthdays pretty seriously!</span></div>

Next week is transfers and I have reason to think that there is a good chance I'll be transferring for my last transfer. It's not <b>sigurado </b>[sure] yet though. We'll see what happens. So yeah. Mahal ko kayo! Have a good week! I know I will. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Another weird thing I just remembered is that this morning we went to the palengke (market) to buy some beef for our tacos we want to make before Elder Tanner goes home so we bought a kilo and as we were walking home we noticed it was almost all bone. They basically gave us a kilo of cow bone with a little bit of meat on it. That was disappointing. Now you can be thankful every time you go to the store and buy preground, boneless beef. :) <b>Mahal kita ulit! </b> [I love you again] :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">This week has been pretty awesome. We were OYMing last Tuesday and we Tao-poed [knock knocked] this house and they gave us the go away hand, so we turned around just in time to see this guy across the street look at us then shut his door in the jiffiest way possible (even jiffier than peanut butter). We went and tao-poed his house like any good missionary would do and he pulled the old I'm-going-to-be-really-quiet-and-wait-for-them-to-go-away trick on us. We debated on camping out in front of his house all night so we could catch him on his way to work in the morning but opted out and finally left. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Then we went to a house next to a tree covered in Bowser spikes and they let us right in. I like it when that happens! They were a super nice family and the dad already knows a bit about the church. We were like, "We're missionaries." and he was like, "Oh, Moroni, right?" "Yeah. that is right!" They seem super prepared. His wife was sorta sad that day because her mom had died the week before and she was doing some funeral thing later, so we've got a good Plan of Salvation message for her. :) The gospel really is for everyone! That was just one of the miracles we saw this week. Life is good!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Guess what. Elder Tanner has only like 2 weeks left in his mission and then I have only like less than 2 months. Then Elder Wilkes who just got here last transfer has only like 2 years left. that's three twos. If I was playing phase 10 I would only need one for set of 3 to pass the first phase. Cool huh? Wait!!! We had an investigator family come to church yesterday "and there were 3 in the family (School House Rock, 3 is a Magic Number)." That's my second set! Phase 2, I'm ready for ya! The only problem is I don't remember what phase 2 was. :(</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Elder Tanner shared with me a discovery he made in his personal study the other day. I want you all to read D&C 38:28. Read it and think really hard how to apply that to your life. If a giant snake doesn't come to mind, I'll be sorely disappointed! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">You may have noticed from the subject line that there was an earthquake a few days ago. Our phone told us so. it was a magnitude of 6.1 daw. I don't know if that's super big or what. We didn't feel it at all though because it happened in Batangas, which is far from my Palawan paradise of Roxas. It would have been a bit closer had I been in Manila, but Uncle Ed and Aunt Elaine would have had it far worse than me. I haven't heard any other news, so probably it's not a gigantor deal. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">This week was our zone conference, so that's always fun. We got to learn loads of cool stuff from President Fermanis, then teach loads of cool stuff in the break-out classes. Elder Tanner and I taught about using the Book of Mormon in </span><span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">EVERY</span><span style="font-kerning: none;"> aspect of the work. Not only in teaching, but in finding, asking for referrals, answering questions, resolving concerns, studies, and anything else that you can think of that a missionary does. I want to reiterate real quick what President Monson said about the Book of Mormon at the last Conference, that if you're not reading it every day, "please do so." I think that's his nice way of saying, "thou shalt do so!" In this regard I stand with Nike. "Just do it." I am. I'm learning about faith this time through, and this morning I just started into the Isaiah chapters of 2 Nephi. Fun fun fun!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">A crazy thing happened just before zone conference started. A few of us were sitting in the gym with one of the senior couples, and he started saying he wasn't feeling well and asked President Maskera to drive him home. Then he got super pale, and passed out. A couple people caught him before he fell out of his chair and he was just limp for a little bit then started to make weird sounds in his throat. after about 20 seconds or so he woke up and we gave him a blessing. Someone anointed him with oil then they all looked at me and I went to seal the anointing and give the blessing. It was super all of a sudden. After the blessing he was taken to a car and driven home. His wife said he would be fine, but that was the last I heard from him. Then the next day when we got home that night we got a text that said he was all well again and able to go about his normal missionary duties that day. So let this be a reminder to you that the priesthood is real. Don't take it for granted, and if you are a holder, always be worthy to use it, because you never know when the time will come that you'll need it. That was a cool spiritual experience that happened this week. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We found a new investigator couple this week too. They're Muslims and right in the middle of us sharing about the restoration the guys prayer reminder alarm went off and we had to cut it short so he wasn't late for his prayer. I guess they have set times that they have to pray every day. They are super nice though, and I was able to eat my first Nutella sandwich since my arrival here in Roxas more than 6 months ago. What a blessing that was! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">That's a conversation I have almost on the daily, but this week it didn't even happen once. Wanna know why? Syempre you wanna know! Because I had almost 0 time in my area. Last week was crazy! We had Pday on Monday, then Tuesday after lunch we went to Puerto, then on Wednesday we flew to Manila and our plane was delayed like 4 hours, then on Thursday we went to MLC then our flight to Puerto after MLC was delayed to the next day so I worked with Elder Zesiger in my very first area of my mission which was super fun and Elder Zesiger almost got killed by a super <b>makulit </b>[troublesome/ demanding] kid waving a toy gun around, then on Friday we flew to Puerto and came back to Roxas on a super <b>masikit </b>[cheerful] shuttle, then we did our studies for the day then it was time for bed, then on Saturday we did weekly planning and were able to work a bit when <b>tanghali </b>[noon] rolled around, then we had a baptism to attend in our district that evening then I woke up and it was Sunday and I finished the Book of Mormon again then we went to church and after church I got to interview a couple people for baptism and they both passed, then we did our studies for Sundays then we worked a bit that evening and found a couple new investigators named Robin and Hellen who are Catholic (just like almost everyone else) Then we came home and ate spaghetti and followed up our district leaders then I got followed up by Elder Zesiger, then I slept, then I woke up and started reading the Book of Mormon again, then we made a plate of Fibonacci pancakes now I'm here. I think I just won a reward for the longest run-on sentence ever. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I really did finish the Book of Mormon again. It was super cool. What I did this time is underline all the different names of the Godhead, then made a list on the back cover. Every time is said a name of Jesus Christ I underlined it in green ('cause that's my favorite color), then Heavenly Father was blue, and the Holy Ghost was red. I had no idea there were so many names for Christ. By the time I finished Moroni 10 I had a total of 95 different names/titles for him. Apparently someone at BYU said he found 101, so I guess I have to read it again and find the other 6. haha It was super cool. You'd think after you finish Alma or something they just wouldn't be able to think of any more, but they just keep coming! You should try it if you want, then tell me how many you find. The Book of Mormon is so cool!</span></div>

We are going to Puerto again for zone conference, but that will just be a 2 day affair, not 4. We get to stay in a Hotel again. That means another one of those hot showers that are oh so nice. The only thing that could make it better is if they had one of those frog bathroom mats that are in the bathroom at home. That's a cool frog mat!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Hello my friends! (remember that one movie we watched for ward youth conference like 5 years ago? I think it was called "Unitards." That's what I was trying to quote) :)</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I'm glad dad had such a fun time with the Mila and Eevee and that all was well for you this week too. My week was super great! We had a half-day mission with the ward last Saturday and we worked with this <b>lolo</b> [grandfather] named Tatay Sornito. He is so awesome! we got like 7 new investigators in only 3 hours. That's the power of member workers! :) One of them was named Nedi and at the very start she was asking about modern day prophets. We were like, "That is exactly what we wanted to share with you today. Let me tell you about this guy named Joseph Smith..." It was an awesome lesson and at the end she said she would come to church the next day. The only bummer is that she didn't come to church. But that's 'cause her son got super sick. The good part is that we saw her about 15 minutes ago on the <b>daan</b> [way] coming here to the computer shop and she apologized and said she would come "next week na lang." <b>Tatay Sornito</b> [Daddy Sornito] is a champion! One time when we went to his house we heard from above us, "elders!" Then he climbs down this tree he'd been in collecting fruit. He's like 60 years old and still climbing trees like a modern Filipino Mowgli. He's our most dependable member worker by far!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I had a dream the other night that I think might interest you. I was in a super huge family history library doing some family history work. It was interesting. Every generation back I went, I had to go another level down stairs. I slowly made my way down to dungeon level 2 to 3 until finally I made it all the way down to level 7. While working on my great-great-great-great-great grandparents (that's 5 greats) I was stuck and didn't know what to do. I said a prayer that I could figure out my problem and when I opened my eyes, a glorious vision opened up before me. If you want to read Joseph Smith's account of when Moroni appeared to him in his bedroom, that's what it was like. A super white bright portal opened up above me and an angel slowly descended down from the portal. When he was completely visible the portal closed and he spoke to me. He said, "My name is Merlin. I'v been sent to help you with your family history. From that point on he answered my questions and helped me fill in all the information that was lacking. I was almost ready to go down to the next level, dungeon level 8, when suddenly the alarm went off and I woke up. It was an awesome dream and I can still visualize it really well if I think about it. It was awesome!!!!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I had another dream that was pretty good too. I was supposed to sing a solo for general conference, but my accompanist couldn't find his music and was looking for it for minutes and then I guess Elder Holland got sick of waiting, so he went up to the organ and played a crazy organ solo instead. That was a nice dream too. I think it's interesting that the things you do every day affect what you even dream about. I don't think I ever would have dreamed of me performing in general conference, but now that I'm a missionary stuff like that happens. It's pretty fun. Being a missionary is fun! If you haven't done it before I highly recommend it. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">This week is MLC so that means I'm going to Manila. That means I won't have any work in my area for almost all week. We leave Roxas on Tuesday and won't be back 'til Friday. Rough stuff! MLC is fun though. They always have these super tasty treats afterwards. :) So yeah. Weeks like this always go by so fast. When I go to Manila time is supposed to pause here, but it doesn't, so when I get home it feels like Wednesday, but it's actually Friday and time to do weekly planning... again! Weekly planning always comes around so fast! Time is weird! </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I was just looking at my family history...seeing if Merlin was in the 7th generation back and I noticed a green temple on the name of Cyrus Bates. He's from your side. Open up the arrow above James O Gamble, then the arrow above Appollos Lambson.

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I hope you all had a grand time playing and doing all the fun things you do. I did! It was a pretty average week with lots of time to work with our people. the only thing going on was stake coordination on Thursday. We left that afternoon after lunch, spent two hours in one of those <b>masikit </b>[cheerful] torture shuttles, went to the mall to buy some light bulbs, headed to the church, did our reporting, two more hours on a torture shuttle, and got home before 10:00. That's a new record. One time it was past mid-night when we got home from stake coordination. All went well though, and we now have our new light bulbs working so our <b>bahay </b>[house] is way brighter now! </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">The craziest thing happened. Two Sundays ago Elder Tanner was asked to give a talk for sacrament meeting, but he used his vain flattering words to weasel his way out of it, but at the same time weaseling me into it. He was like, "Next week is transfer week, and Elder Fawson has been here for like 6 months now so this will be his last Sunday in the ward. He should do the talk." Bishop was like, "Yeah. Your right. It should be Elder Fawson!" So I gave my talk (which was most superb by the way!!!) and now the entire ward is ready to see me off, but then when I logged onto my E-mail today the transfer announcement was there and I'm not even leaving. I'm going to be here for at least 7 months. I'm so happy! but Elder Tanner so should have given that talk! Oh well. I'm so happy to be with him still. It's so sweet. This'll be my 5th transfer here! Life is good! Paradise, Here I stay!!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">This week is super awesome! We had almost nothing to do to distract us from working in our own area. This is the most full week of work I've had in the past 2 transfers, so that was cool. Our 20 new investigators we found are proof of our kasipagan (hardworkingness). :) 4 of those investigators are a new family we found. It all started last Thursday. We had been punted for a few hours (which I wish happened a bit less often) and were on our way to a birthday party of a member we had been invited to, the Orio family, when we decided to stop by this house just a few houses away from our destination. We said "Tao po!" and this lady walked out and started talking to us. I could see inside this bald guy sitting facing away from us and he didn't have a shirt on. Usually shirtless bald guys have this impression in my mind as super stern grumpy people, but as he heard us talking he started putting a shirt on and told us to com inside. Turns out he's not grumpy at all, but super friendly and nice. We had a nice first lesson with them and taught them about temples because he used to live in Quezon city right close to the Manila temple and had some questions about that. It was great, and the next lesson we taught them about Joseph Smith and they were super cool about that too. Brother had to work yesterday <b>kaya hindi sila nakapagsimba </b>[so they an not go to church], but I feel they are super prepared and ready for the gospel. I like it when stuff like that happens. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">That's not the only thing that happened that was crazy cool this week. Just yesterday evening we were teaching this girl and she has had some bad experiences with some other churches she's been to (I won't go way into it) and she started saying to us "I wish I had a Mormon bible so I could see what it has that could help me." Then we were like, "well sister, we have a Book of Mormon with us that we could give to you if you want." Then she was all like "Wey! (that's the Filipino equivalent for "your joshin' with me!") Talaga? (for reals?)" Then we were like "Syempre! (Of course)" and gave it to her. Then she was like 20 seconds straight of "Salamat! salamat! salamat! salamat! salamat!" It was so cool. Then she gave the closing prayer and actually started crying. I've never had someone so excited about receiving a Book of Mormon before. It was awesome! What makes it even cooler is that during the whole lesson Satan was blasting Babylonian music super loud, but it was to no effect. The still small voice of the Spirit conquered the blasting speakers of evil and I felt like Satan took a spiritual round-house-kick to the face.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Those were the highlights of my week. We also made good use of our oven and baked like 30 cookies for us to eat all by ourselves. Maybe sometime we'll give some to the members as bribes for more referrals. hahahaha We just have so much brownie and cookie mix that we found at a mall in Puerto a few weeks ago and feel a need to ubos it before I get transferred. It's rough stuff! It really is. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">President Fermanis came to visit Roxas last week to see what it's like up here so we had the whole zone meet in the Roxas chapel and had a little zone meeting when he got here. It was way cool. Before he got here I was thinking to myself, "I hope he likes it here!" Then I remembered a nice movie quote and tweaked it a bit for my situation that brought peace to my soul. "I think President Fermanis will be most pleased with the world of Roxas. I know I am!" (If anyone lacks wisdom of what movie that derives from, let him ask of Heidi)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">This week was so crazy. I did so many fun things that you all probably do anyways, but are fun and no longer common in my life and may not seem to interesting, and also a couple things that many of you have never done and may not believe I did them. Let me assure you; I did!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">It was a super busy week. We had hardly any time to work here in Roxas because Tuesday afternoon we went to Puerto, and didn't get back until Friday night. Tuesday as many of you all know was the 4th of July. WOOT WOOT! Our opening hymn for district meeting was the Star Spangled Banner. We all put our hands on our heart and looked at the super astig american flag drawn in my planner. That's not all we did to celebrate the occasion though. When we went to Puerto that evening we stayed at some other elders apartment and they had prepared like 50 hot dogs and some fries we could munch on pretending there were some fireworks going on. It was most excellent!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Wednesday we flew to Manila for MLC and it turns out at the airport there is a Wendys. Syempre I ate my first Baconator in like 20 months. "Happy? You bet I am! (someone from my Pokemon game that I haven't played in like 20 months either. I think that's a record!)" </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I met President Fermanis last Thursday. He's super awesome and way funny!!! He is so knowledgeable about the gospel too. Any time someone would ask him a question he was just like, "well lets all open up to D&C section ...." It was crazy. Someday I'll know the scriptures like that too. I've learned a lot on my mission so far, but I've got a long ways to go to <b>abot </b>[reach] his level. I think he looks a lot like Papa (from what I remember Papa looking like) which makes me naturally like him that much more. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">One of the things many of you probably haven't done, but should do, that I did this week is finish the entire Old Testament from Genesis 1-Malachi 4. I read it all. In my Pokemon game I caught 'em all. Now in my bible, I've read it all. All I have to do now is finish the New Testament again and I'll have read the whole bible from "In the beginning" to "the end." Cool stuff. You should try it some time. It's pretty fun!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Another thing that's pretty fun is sharks. Not only are they fun to look at, but to eat too. I did that this week too. We did it Wednesday morning before going to the airport. They bought it in the <b>palengke</b> [marketplace]. Only 85 pesos for almost 3 kilos. It takes forever to prepare, and it smells super gross, but it was fun to eat! We chopped it up into little bits then deep fried him. The finished product looked a lot like chicken nuggets (but it was Shark nuggets) and tasted a lot like fish sticks. :) I'll send some photos for you.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I've been having a good time too. We found a bunch of new investigators this week. Most of them are <b>magasawa</b> [couples] too which is always fun. teaching families is so much more fun than individuals. Hopefully they all work out! That sneaky serpent has been trying to sabotage our current investigators. One family decided to go and live in El Nido for a long time. They didn't even tell us. We found out from their not super polite uncle. The other family we have, the Tulbo family is the one with all the chickens. He already had 2,500 and then one of the people in charge of the other chicken farm across town quit so now he has 5,000 chickens. He never is home anymore for us to teach them and they didn't make it to church yesterday either. :( I have faith though that the wisdom of God is far greater than the cunning ways of the devil.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I'm excited for the 4th of July. I like how America makes such a huge deal about independence day. The Philippines independence day is super boring. they don't do anything to celebrate. We are going to have hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner. Too bad fireworks are bawal for missionaries. Maybe some fun ceiling decor will have to suffice. :) I also made that page in my planner into an American flag. It's pretty patriotic if I do say so myself. If you can remember my St. Patrick’s day planner, you can picture that 4th of July style. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Yesteeday was way fun. It was Elder Tanner's birthday and the whole ward found out somehow. Our opening hymn for coordination meeting was Happy Birthday, so that was a first. Later we were called into bishops office and the whole PEC was there consulting the important matter of how much spaghetti to make for an FHE/birthday party for him. We have a fun ward! :) Last night we had our own spaghetti dinner with some brownies supplied by my wonderful family (stay tuned for the cool brownie miracle), and some ice cream. It was just us two, but it was fun none-the-less. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">About the Brownies, a miracle occurred similar to when Jesus turned water into wine. I was mixing up the mix, and it wanted 3 tablespoons of water and 1/2 c. of oil, but I accidentally added 1/2 c. of water so we decided to do just 3 tablespoons of oil. "It's all just liquid anyways." we justified. "It probably won't make much difference." Then we put it in the oven to bake while we did personal study. During my opening prayer for personal study I prayed for the brownies that they would turn out normal and when we took them out of the oven they were perfect! then they didn't even stick to the pan when cutting and scooping them out. It was like a loving Heavenly Father fixed the brownies, then added some sort of celestial PAM to the pan so it would be real nice to cut and stuff. If any of you wanted to be positive, let me tell you. God does hear our prayers, and he does care about our problems. Even if it is just something so seemingly insignificant as some brownies. It was definitely a testimony builder for me! Hopefully this story helped someone! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"> This is going to be a super short letter this week, but you're just going to have to deal with it. We went this morning to some super sweet waterfalls and explored around for a long time this morning. The only problem is that they were a lot farther away than we thought and the bus ride was over an hour and a half just to get to the trail. <b>Kaya, medyo ubos na ang oras namin </b>[Sorry, out time was a little out of date] . It was super great though, and I got some way sweet photos that you can be excited to look at next week. :)</span></div>

There is one thing I have to say though before I go that will make Heidi a little jealous. I totally high-fived a monkey. It was sweet. His little hand was so cute. What makes it better is that his name is Momoy. So yeah. Life is pretty nice here! I'll get a better e-mail next week, promise!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">This is Elder Uncle Rob, reporting in. It's so cool that Claire had her baby! Margot is a nice name. I'm trying to think. If she was born at 1:40pm, Thursday, then at that time I was in a lesson with a new investigator we had just OYMed. It was crazy! We had been "<b>Tao po"ing</b> [knock knocking] every single house up this road and everyone was not being very nice. they were all like, "Iglesia kami" (They're from Iglesia ni Cristo church), or they would just pretend not to hear us as they turned up the volume on the TV. Then out of nowhere we saw this ate outside and we were just like, "Hi Ate!" then she ran inside. We were like, "Oh. okay." Then the dad came out and was like <b>"Pasok kayo!" </b>[Enter it!] so we went inside and talked to them. They are from Ilo-ilo and his aunt is Mormon. He and his wife are so nice! The guy’s work is he takes care of a bunch of chickens. 2,500 to be exact! Then he has a friend who has 2,500 more! It's super crazy! They are the ones who supply all of Roxas with their chicken consumption needs. I'm pretty sure they're going to get baptized! And when we do, we'll party with a bunch of <b>lechon manok</b>! [roasted chicken!] MMMM BOY!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Another fun thing that happened was last Monday after I finished e-mailing you. We went and walked around the beach next to our house for about an hour looking for fun creatures and we found a bunch of crabs. Then we also found a lot of star fish. One of them was huge. He was as big as my face!!! He was cool. It was orange and had spikes on him. Sort of like a Bowzer star fish. Then as we were leaving I saw a little creature so I got a closer look and it was like a deformed shrimp of some sort. He was crazy! He had his shell thing on his head instead of his back and was super creepy lookin'. It was a fun adventure. We're going back later today too.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">This week has been super crazy and <b>masikip! </b>[crowded!] Crazy because we had to go to Puerto not once, but two times! <b>Masikip</b> because the shuttles we ride in to get to Puerto are built for Filipinos. Elder Fawson knees are not Filipino knees! Don't worry though. I survived and both trips were super awesome once we got there! The first trip was for zone conference. We learned how to use family history more effectively in our finding and got some sweet new tools to do it. Everyone has their My Family booklet. Mine is all done and is lookin' prime! I have lots of good pictures that I snagged off the <a href="http://familysearch.org/"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(18, 85, 204); color: #021eaa;">familysearch.org</span></a>. There's lots of cool stuff on there! I wish I had more time to explore the realms of my ancestors. I'll just have to <b>magtiis </b>[suffer] until I get home. It's pretty exciting stuff though!!! Also I finally got the long awaited OYMing umbrella. To bad it hasn't rained enough for me to have to use it yet. Don't worry though. I'm sure it'll happen soon and when it does, I'll be sure to tell you all about it. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">The other trip to Puerto was for a Philippines area broadcast. President Lynn G. Robbins, President Bowen, Elder Ardern, Sister Oscarsen, and Elder Bednar were the speakers. It was super great! If it's on <a href="http://lds.org/"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(18, 85, 204); color: #021eaa;">lds.org</span></a> you should definitely watch it. It was really cool because all of almost all of them have recently been here so they were able to share about their experiences they had. Elder Ardern was here for 5 years in the area presidency, President Bowen is still here as the area President, then sister Oscarsen and Elder Bednar both came here and visited the Philippines within the last 6 months. They had some really great talks!!! Believe it!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">It was sort of <b>baliktad</b> [reverse]. When Heidi and Dad went to Lake Powell on Monday they had no hot showers, but I did!!!!!!!!! When we went for zone conference we stayed in a hotel the night before and it was glorious!!! I just thought I should make known that observation. I haven't had even a lukewarm shower in the last year and a half. I don't expect it'll happen again until the day I can do it when I get home. Then I can dry my warm roasty toes on the cool frog mat on the bathroom floor. That'll be a day to look forward to. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">So that's basically what I've been up to this week. There is one thing I forgot to say last week. HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!! I actually didn't forget, but didn't know until it was too late. Sometimes I just don't hear important world events like that. It sort of weirds me out sometimes, but what ever. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">The craziest thing happened. I think I time traveled into the future. 2 Fridays ago we did our weekly planning, and had a baptism which was super awesome. Then on Saturday Elder Tanner was super sick and we didn't work, then it was Sunday and we went to church and stuff, then it was P-day, then on Tuesday we went to Manila and didn't come back 'til Thursday night, then it was weekly planning again!!! I was so shocked when it was Friday again because time just went by so fast. In my mind it was only Wednesday, but in reality it wasn't. Time is weird when you can't work much in your area! </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Saturday was our only full day of work all week. It was a good day though. in the morning we walked around and OYMed a ton of houses. It's always awkward when you walk up to a house with the door wide open and the TV clearly on, but nobody comes when you shout <b>"TAO PO!!!" </b>[knock knock!!!]They thought we wouldn't notice the sound of the battle cries of Encantadia coming from the television. We just shout "Tao po!" a few more times and then say, <b>"sige po. Sa susunod na lang!" </b>[Okay. Go to the next !] After 2 hours of <b>"pasensya. busy po ako." </b>[patience. I am busy.] and <b>"Catholic ako!" </b>[ I’m Catholic!] we finally found the right house. It was really cool. It was on a street I hadn't noticed before and Elder Tanner was like, "lets try down here." So we did. We went to a fun looking yellow house at the end and said, "Tao po." That was when the glorious sound came to my ears.<b>"Pasok kayo."</b> [Come in.] Those 2 words are the most glorious words in the dictionary to a missionary that's been punted all morning. Oh what rapture and bliss, there's no song can express the joy that filled our hearts as we crossed the bamboo threshold of that yellow kubo hut! There was a nice family and they let us share with them. It was a <b>lolo and lola,</b> [grandfather and grandmother] their kids and young grandkids at home. One of the grandkids was only 2 weeks old. I think when we go back to them they'll be ready to come to church and everything. They've already met some missionaries before so that's always a bonus too! It was awesome!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I restarted the Book of Mormon again last week too. I'm in 1 Ne 13 already. This time I am underlining all the names of Christ and making a list of all the different names. After reading only the first 13 chapters I already almost have 30 different names. It's way neat to see all his different titles. Most of them are "Lord" and "God," but there are some super cool ones too! You should read it to find out what they are. :)</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Our bishop is doing a super awesome job. Last week we asked him if he could call some new ward missionaries because there were only 4. Three of them were girls, who we can't work with if we don't have a 3rd <b>lalaki</b> [man], and the other one is less-active. Then yesterday in sacrament he stood up and was like, "I'd like to call the following as ward missionaries." then he read a list of like 10 super awesome members. Then after church we had coordination and all of them were there. Later that day each companionship had like 3 member workers with us. It was super sweet!!! Things are really starting to pick up a lot faster now that we're a ward. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Tomorrow is zone conference, so that's always fun. Surely if you check up on the mission blog soon you'll see some nice photos of me. :) We're getting these cool new umbrellas with pictures of the temple on them so we can OYM people even if it's raining. "Oh, you look drenched! Come stand here under my umbrella with me for a couple minutes so I can share to you about eternal families." (2 minutes later) "You should come to church some time. Well, I know it's still raining, but I got to go. bye." I got this umbrella thing down. We practiced for a while in MLC our umbrella OYMing approaches. I'm bound to have at least 1 baptism off this thing! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I'm glad you all had such a fun week celebrating birthday parties, weddings, and lots of other stuff! My week was pretty nice too! We went to Taytay last Tuesday for exchanges and it was nice. We took a shuttle which is usually a really squishy and uncomfortable 2 hour experience, but this time we were the only 2 passengers almost the entire way. It was sweet! Our exchange was fun too. I worked with Elders Petersen and Del Pilar. They are really awesome missionaries and we had several really nice lessons and a few new investigators to go along with it. Our travel home was made even better when the Wolcotts made a surprise visit before heading back to Puerto and offered to drive Elder Tanner and I back to Roxas. It was even comfier than the shuttle the day before, much better company because the Wolcotts are so nice! and <b>walang pamasahe</b>! [no fare]!!! Woot woot!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Thursday was our only full day of work in our area last week, but it was a grand day! We were sort of punted in the morning for all our appointments so decided to do some finding and we certainly did find. We taught a family that is really nice. There is like 8 of them total. Then right after that we went to the house of a previous investigator the missionaries taught a couple years ago. It turns out the people that used to live there have moved, but the new people were happy to listen to us, so we taught them too. It was super awesome! I'm excited to go back to these people and see how they progress. Finding new families is the best!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Friday was sweet because we had a baptism. Sister Jocelyn is now an official member of the church, so you can all let out a long held sigh of relief. Not only her either. 4 people were baptized that day. Every companionship had at least 1 baptism. I think it's the best way to get started on the path of ward-hood. They were all confirmed yesterday too! It was a really organized baptism. The font was filled hours before the program started, and the programs were already made up on the computer. We just had to print them out. It was grand! I think the members are trying harder now that they are a ward. I'm likin' it!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Friday evening was not so fun for Elder Tanner because he started feeling sick, then Saturday he was really sick and we just stayed home all day. He slept a lot and I read a lot of Bible. I finished Jeremiah and Lamentations. :) Reading the Bible is fun. Sometimes it's boring, but if you can endure, there are some really cool stories that pop up. I would invite anyone who hasn't read the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelations, to do so. It'll be a super good experience.I haven't finished yet, but I will. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Sunday was really hard for Elder Tanner too. We went to church, gave some on-the-spot talks in sacrament in which I declared to everyone the glad tidings of my sisters birthday (by the way, Happy birthday Claire!!!), and got our newly baptized people confirmed. When we got home Elder Tanner was still sick, but feeling okay enough to teach a couple lessons. It was a nice day! For me at least. He's still not feeling really great, but he does feel better than before, so we think his sickness is going away.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I got a cool piece of jewelry the other day. Elder Tanner had a PAT ring in his bag that he gave me. You may be wondering, "What's a PAT ring?" It's a cool ring with a green shield on it and says PAT on it. It looks like a CTR ring, but here we don't say "Choose the right." We say "Piliin ang tama". Hence, PAT. Every time I look at it though the first thing that pops into my head isn't "Piliin ang tama," but Mr. Fran from dad's school. hahahaha I think I'll get one for him when I come home. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">This week was faster than..... something that's really slow! I couldn't think of anything off the top of my head, but it was a really awesome week!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">On Tuesday we had a funeral and burial service we attended and it took almost the entire morning. It's so inconvenient when people die! I had a nice reminder of how different funerals are in the Philippines. We met at the church and had a bunch of speakers that talked about the plan of salvation, so that part was pretty much the same, but after that they put the coffin in the hearse and we all had a funeral parade from the the church on the way to the cemetery where everyone walks really slow in the middle of the road behind the car and holds up traffic like crazy. The Hearse always plays really loud music like, "You raise me up!!!!!" that one is a staple in a Filipino funeral, but I had my own music going through my mind. "The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out..." hahahaha When we got to the cemetery they took the coffin out of the hearse and carried it to the man's final resting place. You need to know that here they don't bury their dead. They just build a cement/brick box around the coffin. It's actually good in a way. Instead of being buried next to your loved ones, you can be put on top of them. This man's wife had already died so they build on top of her cement box another box, and put this guys casket on top. Some people go up to 3 or 4 stories. It's pretty creative, but sort of more creepy too! So that was an exciting thing that happened. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Also we went to Puerto twice last week. The first was on Thursday for our Puerto District Coordination meeting. The very last one ever! Because next month it'll be Puerto Stake Coordination. That leads me into the reason for the second trip to Puerto. It was on Saturday and Sunday for the first ever Stake conference on Palawan! Way awesome! I now am in Roxas ward, not branch. I'm so happy to be able to witness this historical moment! Elder Bowen was the member of the 70 that presided and he gave a talk at the end that was the coolest. He talked about how inside of the stake that was just created there is another stake that could be made out of all the less-active and prospective elders. He really emphasized the importance of member missionary work. The spirit was so strong. Elder Bowen gave a talk in General Conference about 5 years ago that was super cool too. You should find it and watch it, because he is so amazing! After Stake conference, Roxas zone had interviews with Pres. Ostler which went until about 6:00, so we didn't get home until almost bed time. We basically got home, changed into our Pajam-jams, ate some peanut butter-jelly sandwiches and went to sleep. It was a long day, but a great day none-the-less!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Between my trips to Puerto on Friday we had our investigator, Jocelyn, interviewed for her baptism, so that'll be happening this weekend. Our ward has 4 baptisms this Saturday, so we are way happy for that. I can think of no better way to celebrate our new-found ward-hood than a few saving ordinances!!! So yeah. All is well in Roxas! Roxas prospereth! All is well!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I don't have a lot to say since we just spoke a few hours ago, but I do want to share a miracle that happened since we last spoke. About a half hour after our skype ended we were in our apartment about to start our personal study and then the power went out. You may be thinking, "What kind of miracle is that?" the miracle comes from the fact that it didn't go out during our Skype. Do you want to know why? <b>Syempre</b> you do [of course you do]. Because as we were leaving the house going to the church before the Skype I prayed that there wouldn't be a burn-out during our skype so Heavenly Father postponed the burnout 'til we were done. Cool, huh. I already told you pretty much everything about this week about the baptism, and how I touched a Kalabau, so I'll just send you a part of my letter to Pres. Ostler that covers most of what I said earlier. That way you have something to put on my blog and all my fans won't be mega-disappointed. :) Your welcome, fans!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">On Wednesday we went to Puerto with Jomar, one of our investigators, to meet with Pres. Caduada. I was so happy when Jomar passed the interview. 4 hours of sitting in an uncomfortable shuttle was all worth it! :) His baptism was just last Saturday. It was really stressful as first. The baptism was supposed to be at 5:00 but when we got to the church at 4:00 the font was empty and we couldn't figure out how to turn on the water because there was a burn-out earlier that morning and that always messes with the water. finally we got the water going but it was going to take like 3 hours to fill up the font so we decided to start the baptismal service at the church and then go to the ocean for the actual ordinance. It was my first beach baptism so that was really cool. Also we found a starfish while walking out into the deeper water. Jomar's dad was the one to baptize him which was great too because he had just been baptized last month so he had an opportunity to use his priesthood. When Jomar came up out of the water he was smiling so big and we were all just so happy! I love baptisms! The only thing that could have made it better is if he had been confirmed yesterday. Now he'll have to wait 2 more weeks because next week is the District Conference. It was a way nice baptism though!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Thursday was supposed to be a normal day, but had a plot twist and the branch said that there was this Roxas festival happening and all the religions in Roxas were invited to say an opening prayer to start the festivities and bless Roxas. Of coarse the branch chose a missionary to say this prayer and the lots fell on Elder Tanner. It was really cool though. There were probably 10 different religions that prayed. Some were really intense, shouting with all energy of heart, most were written down and had obviously been practiced many times. It was nice when Elder Tanner prayed though. it was just really simple and sincere. </span></div>

We had her start doing the highlighter method and it is working wonders. We asked her how her reading is and she just started quoting the Book of Mormon. She was like, "I really like what Lehi said to his son how he should be like unto this river, continually flowing into the fountain of righteousness." Then she bore testimony of how she knows the Book of Mormon is true. I was so amazed at her. She is going to be baptized in just 2 weeks on May 27th. I'm so excited for that!"</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">This week was super busy and full of lots of traveling. On Tuesday morning we got the news that Elder Cortez was transferring. We spent a few hours that day saying farewell to people, then around 5:00 pm, hopped into the Wolcott's car (they're the senior couple here on Palawan) and headed to Puerto where we would spend the night. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Wednesday morning we woke up around 5:00 am, got ready, and headed to the airport. It was a fun flight because I got an emergency seat. Someone is really watching out for me because every single flight I've been on I've gotten an isle seat, or one with lots of leg room. I said thanks to Sister Jacobsen (who schedules the flights) for it but she said she wasn't allowed to choose seats and forwarded the credit to a loving Heavenly Father. He's the best! At the mission office I said my farewell to Elder Cortez and met my new companion, Elder Tanner. You may all be thinking, "what kind of Filipino name is Tanner?" Let me tell you, it's not. I officially have my first American companion! He's super cool and whiter than me. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I slept in Manila that night and then went to MLC on Thursday morning. We learned a lot about how to use our Family Booklets for finding and it was really awesome! It's a good thing my booklet is all filled out and has lots of fun pictures in it. I actually use it a lot to show people my family and they like it a lot! </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We went straight to the airport after MLC to we wouldn't miss our flight, but it was fine. The plane was supposed to leave around 5:30, but didn't really leave until after 8:00. I guess even the airports here run on Filipino time. :) It's a good thing I'm already accustomed to Fawson time or I might have been really annoyed. hahaha We got back to Puerto just in time to run to Jollibee before heading home. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">It's been fun working with Elder Tanner. We get lots of people making fun of us because we're both white and can speak Tagalog. We found a nice new family last night and we are going back to them mamaya. We also have a baptism coming up this Saturday which will be awesome too!! It's been a lot of stuff this week and I don't have enough time to say all of it right now.</span></div>

That will be fun and better for me because Saturday will be crazy busy with the baptism and some other meetings and stuff. I can't wait to see y'all!!! :) Sorry it's sort of a shorter letter this week! :) I love you again. </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Howdy y'all. That's not Tagalog, but it's still fun to say.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">This week was super sweet! I was able to go on exchanges last Wednesday and it was really fun. His name is Elder Evans. That's right! He's an Amerikano. He's the 6th Amerikano I've worked with my whole mission. I haven't had much experience with it because all my companions have been Filipino. He's only about 6 months in the mission so his Tagalog wasn't the greatest. He is pretty good though. Mostly he just needs to work on his accent. We had a pretty awesome day though. One of our new-ish investigators, Jocelyn accepted a baptismal date for May 27th so were really excited for that. She also came to church yesterday so she's progressing really well. It was a little hard teaching her with Elder Evans though, because her native language isn't Tagalog. It's Ilongo so sometimes we had no idea what she was saying. it was fine though. I am starting to figure that language out. I can ask, "what is your name?" It's like this, "Sino imo ngalan?" That's about all I know. hahaha It was a really great exchange!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Something really cool happened on Thursday! After the Rublez family got baptized a month ago we haven't really had lots of people to teach, so we started praying that we could find people to teach that would progress and get baptized, especially families. Then last Thursday we taught a lady named Sister Rom. She is a good friend of sister Marissa who just got baptized and she seems so prepared! She has like 4 kids living at home with her and her husband. It was a huge answer to our prayers. Also the kids of some members just moved here to Roxas and started coming to church a couple weeks ago so we are teaching them now too. One of them is the one I mentioned earlier that's getting baptized on the 27th. So basically, prayer is real. True story!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I got to use my umbrella a few days ago, so that was sort of fun. I went like 2 months without an umbrella and got really wet because of it more than a few times, so when I got here in Roxas I bought an umbrella. The only thing is that once I bought it, it doesn't rain anymore. What's up with that? I've had it more 3 months now and only used it for like 15 minutes total. It was only light rain the times I did, but I figured I should get my money's worth out of it. My 175 pesos are super sayang! It's got a fun pattern though with blue and green polka-dots. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We saw a turtle at the church the other day, so that was fun. He was just walking around in the grass. That's one of the cool things about being on Palawan. You don't just find turtles walking around in Manila. Roxas rules!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Something really awesome is happening on the 21st of this month. Puerto Princessa is having stake conference. Not district conference. STAKE conference. The very first stake conference Palawan has ever seen! And I'm going to be there to see it! That means that Roxas will be a ward. So yeah. It's a pretty big deal and the people here are pretty psyched!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">It's too bad to hear that Heidi can't fry doughnuts for a living. I haven't had a doughnut in quite some time. Maybe she can fulfill her dream of becoming a snowboard instructor with her huskies in Alaska. I'm thinking about going into the mail delivery business when I get home. Hopefully the post-office doesn't hold any lasting resentment towards me for almost destroying one of their vans. :) hahaha</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">That's fun about the Fawson family reunion. I wish I could join you all for Lake Powell and stuff! Maybe when I get home in October it still won't be crazy cold and we can take the boat out on quail for some water skiing and stuff. I can pretend it's lake Powell. I was actually just wearing my Lake Powell T-shirt <b>kanina </b>[a little while ago], so that was fun! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I must say I'm more than a little jealous about the brats. Not only are they a crowd-pleaser, but a tummy-pleaser too! I had some hot-silog for breakfast yesterday. And lunch. I think that brat-silog would be pretty awesome though too! Let me tell you how to do it. cook up some brats, fry up some eggs, <b>magsain</b> some rice and put it all on a plate. Tapos na! That's what I call Filipino cuisine! hahahaha</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #232323; font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I'm so excited for claire's baby to come! When is it expected to pop out? <b>Buntis</b> [pregnant] people here in the Philippines get lots of cool special treatment. It's pretty much a V.I.P. pass to the front of any line and cheaper jeepney rides. Cool huh? So maybe next time she gets pregnant she could just come to the Philippines. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I had forgotten your mission was only 18 months. That's kind of weird to think that if I had served 30 years ago I would be headed home now. WaCkY! Don't worry though. I'm going to work hard to the end. That's what I learned from cross country. I'm sort of like at the final sprint. It's going to be a successful last sprint too! We've got a baptism lined up for May 13th, so you can all look forward to that! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Anyways, that's about all I've got to say today. Actually there is one more thing. You probably are well aware that Mothers Day is coming up. You know what that means! You get some free chocolate after sacrament meeting! As Napoleon Dynamite would say, "Lucky!" Oh yeah, also we get to Skype. :) Elder Cortez and I are planning on using the computer at the church to do it. We are allowed to Skype on Saturday, Sunday or Monday. The best time for me would be Saturday morning around 10:00 a.m. That'd make it about 8:00 Friday night for you. Does that seem okay? It'll be fun on Saturday because I'll have a baptism later that afternoon. Hopefully that all works out for you, but if not, we can message more about it next week. :) I love you and can't wait to actually talk to you. E-mailing is fine, but sometimes it's difficult when the shift button doesn't like to be pushed. :) </span></div>
