Lots of Newbies

Well we had transfer and our zone had a lot of changes.

So first off President decided to white wash 3 areas in our zone and in 2 of them they are training so we had a crazy couple of days trying to figure out how to get them in their areas and how to show where their apartment was stuff but luckily we got it all figured out.  

It is pretty fun to see all the new missionaries.  They were all freaking out and it reminded back to my first few days.  It's been fun to talk with them and see what stuff is weird for them and I have realized how much I have adjusted.  

While this has all been happening we have also been traveling around the zone to help out with baptismal interviews.  We had to go to Libagon and St. Bernard and they are both having baptisms so I am happy to see that areas are progressing.  

Rainy season has officially hit so we are getting rained on almost every day.  As for the work in our area we are still working with the same investigators and they are still progressing we are hoping they will all be baptized in October.  We have also planned a missionary fireside to train members about how to help us and give us referrals.  

One of the best parts of the week was celebrating Family Day.  It's a big celebration here in the Philippines and our branch threw a big party.  We played games and had a talent show with lots of members singing and performing dances.  We were in charge of the games and we did this relay race thing that was really fun and everyone was laughing so we had a great time.

Anyways pretty crazy week but also really great:)

Love you tons!!

Oh and I did the package with shirts and socks Daghang Salamat!!
