Hey T,

It sounds like you have had a fun week. This week was crazy. So on Wednesday we went on a split. I was in a far area. Then at 8 pm my companion calls me and tells me I have to get back to our area because he has to go to the mission home. It was going to take me an hour to get back then the bus ride to the mission home is 4 hours. I found out that they called him at 5 and told him to call me because we were suppose to leave right away because we were so far away. He didn't call me till 8 so I was way mad. He made it hard to figure everything out. Then we were not able to leave that night so we had to get up at 2 am so we could get a bus so he could be to his meeting on time. Oh he had a meeting because he is going to get a companion fresh from the MTC. It's called training. So that's why we had to go, but it was a crazy week. Then on the way back from the mission home it was another 4 hour ride and we had to stand the whole time because there was no room to sit down. So I would just say it was not a very fun day. So I am transferred but I don't know where to yet. I will go on Wednesday to my new area.  We watch Conference this Saturday and Sunday. Well I guess that is it for me hope that everything is going well back home.

Love you,

Hey T,

First off make sure to wish Reagan a happy birthday for me. It's fine to do the flat Stanley I don't know what it is but sure it will be really easy. I always speak Tagalog, they cant speak English. They try but all they can say is whats your name and hey Joe and that is about it. When you go to like a nice store they can speak it and when I say nice store I mean McDonald's. That is about as nice as it gets here. This week was okay I found out that a member here knows Kit McMullin so that was fun to find out. That was about the highlight of my week. Other than that we didn't do much. Today for p-day we played basketball and that was fun. We don't play way hard so it makes it a lot more fun. Other than that we don't do anything. So that was the extent of my week. Well I don't know what else to say. Hope things are going good back home sure miss you guys.

Love you all,

Hey T,

Nope this week was the same. Well we did get a lot of new investigators so that was good. Before I go on ask Gary what color of a belt he would like brown or black. So I know what color to get him. So now that I got that out of the way. I don't have anything else to say. Well I guess there might be a little bit, but not much nothing has really happened this week just the same old same old just doing the mission thing.  I have been trying to learn this new language called Ifugao. It's crazy weird and I can only say like a couple sentences, but I am not trying that hard because no one really speaks it around here only in one area in the whole mission. I am just having fun. I have been slaking on the picture taking. It's just hard to get the camera out to take the picture, so sorry about that. I will try to do better but I am not promising anything. Oh, what temple did you and Gary get married in? It was the Logan right? Well i don't have anything else to say hope things are going good back home sure miss you guys a lot.

Love you all,

Hey T,

Disney on ice sounded fun and it sounds like you had a lot of fun. Did Mike and Gary go and do something while you were at the Disney store or what happened there because I bet he didn't want to go there. Nothing really happened here just missionary work and that is about it. I do about the same thing everyday. Walk around for hours trying to teach people. Well I don't really know what else to say. Hope things are going good. Miss you all

Love,

Hey T,

Things are going good. Yeah it sounds like you spoil your kids, but it's all good- you should. They are growing up too fast tell them to stop until I get home. I think I have told you about all the people. I don't really remember. Nothing really happens here so I don't really have much to say just doing the mission thing. Well hope things are going really good back home.

Miss and love you all,

Hey T,

It feels like I have been out longer then a year. Haha, no it has gone by pretty fast. I am still in the same area and I am staying here for another 6 weeks. It actually gets cold sometimes, well not that cold but I don't have to always have a fan on me when I sleep so that's nice. I have 2 sets of the nativities but i can get more. They are 800 pesos so around 20 dollars. I don't really see too many wood things but there are some. I guess my area right now is the prettiest. I found a little area out in the fields and I like it a lot. I took a picture it's cool. Well I don't know what else to say nothing has happened just missionary work. I like the pictures you sent. Averi looks so much bigger. She is going to be totally different when I get home. Miss you all.

Love you,

Hey T,

Things have been going good, nothing really happens. They had some parties for Valentines day and the school had a dance, but we didn't do anything. We don't really do anything on p-day and the rest of the week is just walk around and try to teach people. My new area is okay, it's big so a lot of walking but that's about it. The members really don't help us, but we do have some that feed us so that's always nice. So I guess that is it for me I don't know what else to say. Hope things are going good.

Love you,

Elder Doney
