day 327

This week in the pines.

I gave my first District training. It was legit. i loved it. It was bout Jesus and why he is our chosen saviour and all that great stuff.

work is continuing as usual. nothing really amazing or really horrible.. I went on splits with Elder Ostrich. (thats what all the members call him.) We had so much fun. My mission is changing again. instead of the rescue mission, we are going back to good old knockin doors.(well in my case, yellin at em) :) i dont remember if i told you, but we dont knock on any doors. they would break. we just stand outside and say "Good, Good" or in waray "Maupay" haha its funny.... we have a baptism this week. Her name is C.. she is 12. she is pretty darn cool. she asked me to baptize her so it should be fun.

Brother P. is still doing stellar. he is coming to church every week. He needs to be interviewed by President, but other than that, he is on his way to being baptized. we had a ward home teaching day on saturday. it worked. who knew, that if you do your home teaching, People will come to church... we had two huge families that we (the missionaries) have been working with forever come to church. it was really nice.

well thats about it. hope you have a great week.

Love you

Christian

Jens wondered about the earthquake if there was any damage to clean up?  

i emailed him bout that.

And I wondered if you didn't have any residual damage with a tsunami...where did the earthquake move? just in the ocean?  won't it do some damage sometime else? or maybe the next earthquake will be worser...am I making any sense?

i dont know any of the specifics, i dont get to watch tv... haha... oh.. speaking of tv. a lot of the members are discussing mit romney and the other monkey guy. its kinda fun to stay semi updated on that...
