New things

Wow, another week has come and gone in the mission field, and it's been a pretty interesting one. The best part is we got to go to the mission home this last Tues. for a meeting. It was kinda funny 'cause I felt like I was back in America. American food, Air conditioning, and the best part hot showers. We ended up staying the night there, it was pretty good. One kinda funny thing happened. I guess all the missionaries in the whole world, or at least here in the Philippines are getting DVD players, the portable kind. So they gave them to use this last Tues. We get to use videos that the church has made for missionary work during Comp. and Personal study. Kinda interesting. It's been kinda weird being able to watch something at the apartment, but I guess it's just how the missions are moving. They say in a few years they think every Comp. will have a laptop. but I guess will see.

Then on wed. we came back to Cabanatuan. It was a pretty long bus ride, and they only played one song the whole way. I don't know if any of you have every heard of Charice, but she's a Filipino singer, and because she is Filipino she is really popular here. Anyways they played one song the hole bus ride, and it was really really hard not to yell or scream in pain or something like that. It was really dramatic, which is probably the reason I'm writing to y'all about it.

Other than that, the week has been really pretty normal. we worked hard. We actually should be having a baptism this up coming week which means next week I'll hopefully be sending pictures to you all. It's a nanay, and she's really cool. In fact in two weeks we should be having another baptism too. One investigator that has been coming to church for the last 2 years is going to be baptised. She hadn't been in the past 'cause she isn't married to her husband, but this last week she got married, so she should be getting baptized in the coming weeks.

This past Sunday we also got to go to church twice, well I guess it'll be like that every week that I"m here in Cabanatuan, 'cause we hold two areas, which means we go to church twice. It makes for a long Sunday at the church, but it's actually really awesome. It's fun to see how different the wards are, and the best part is you get to take the sacrament twice, which means twice the blessings, or at least that's what Elder Burog told me.

Well family, that's about it. The church is true. If there is one thing is one thing I"ve learned on my mission it's that. We are so blessed to be members of it and to be led by a living Prophet.
