Called To Serve in the Philippines Angeles Mission: This week was great

This week was great, we spent a lot of time with the Bamban Elders, Elder Revillio and Elder Bell. On Wednesday we had a zone practice for a song we never ended up singing. Thursday morning we had a zone conference with Elder Teh (The Philippines area president), so the Bamban Elders slept at our apartment Wednesday night. Thursday night they slept again at our apartment because we had exchanges on Friday, so Elder Revillio and I worked together. Then Saturday morning the four of us had a service project. The zone conference was great, but sister Martino kept falling asleep, it was kind of funny. On Friday we had three baptismal interviews for three of our investigators, they're all getting baptized on Saturday. One of them is the girl I told you about last week.

I also got mail from Alex and Caroline last week, look what they wrote:

"OH, here's something cool....the Indoor D1 Nationals are being held HERE in the NAMPA at the indoor track. And guess what team gets to help out?? US!!! So we get to help out and see and meet all of the insanely fast famous people :) It's so great and exciting. "

p.s. what are people saying on the blog? And did Kenzie and Kelsie find the music?

What an amazing week! That is really exciting about the little girl and the other baptisms. I have actually thought of her often this week. Are you sending any pictures this week? We would love one of you and your companion. Did you guys feel the earthquake or hear about it? Not many people leave comments on the blog but at least 2 or 3 times a week somebody tells dad or I how much they love your blog and that they appreciate us keeping it up. We are not sure we can get the sheet music.

That sucks about the music, but good people are still reading the Blog. Transfers are next week, which means Elder Revillio is leaving, everyone is so sad about that.

The other day I walked into one of our less actives home and was reminded of how poor they are. At this point, it’s natural and not even a surprise when I walk into a house with a dirt floor and no electricity, but for some reason I really noticed it that day. I also miss running a lot, even though those two are not related. But I almost never think about home or worry about anyone not in San Clemente. I heard about the quake, but that was on the other end of the Philippines. nothing happened to us here the Philippines is a huge area. I'm doing just fine. I'm sure if something happened Sister Martino would tell you right away. I love you!
