this week was a pretty productive week. We led the zone in numbers for the second week in a row. its pretty fun challenging the other elders and sisters to see who can do the most. This sunday, we had great success at church. we had 10 investigators come.. it was really really nice to see them all. Brother P. is sick so he wasnt able to attend. but he is still doing amazing. We shared with him last thursday and it was a really enjoyable event. We are still awaiting approval from higher authorities for his baptism. but we do have a few this next saturday. Whoo!!!

i was able to talk to Sister Jinky G. (usually I take out names but her name is sooo cool)... she went to manilla to work. Im happy to say that she is still going to church every sunday and participating in all the Relief society activities. whoo.. that makes me happpy to hear that my converts are still going strong.

Today we had a great zone activity. we went to the beach again and played beach volleyball, soccer, and a dodgeball game.. it was super fun. i found a little starfish that looks like an alien.. i  took a picture of it so hopefully next week i can send it home...

well for christmas, i want snow... ha i miss the snow and the cold. sure being warm and in sunny weather is great, but its just not me.. i need the snow. well thats about it for this week..

Love you

Christian

Questions:

Do you have your glasses?  

yup still have em..

Jensen wondered about how many discussions or contacts you have per week?

uhh... i think our missions use different lingo.... im not sure.. hahaha

Do you think it would be good for us to come pick you up?  Are there places we could stay?  or would you say we shouldn't do that? if money were no object.

well i think it would be fun.. there are nice hotels in Tacloban for very cheap... not like american nice but like a suite room here is like 2000P like 50 bucks a night... there would be lots of fun places for us to visit and stuff. but its only to bad that i couldnt be released when you come... so we could swim and stuff...

We are going to Josh Ostlers homecoming in 2 sundays...can you believe he's done almost?  He comes home on thanksgiving.  Last Sunday we called him mom to find out when he was coming home and she told us.  Is there anything you'd like to tell him when we see him?  Also Josh's mom told us that she saw him in your pictures that you sent last time.  I didn't even recognize him.  We went back and looked at all your pictures and saw him there.  She said some pretty nice things about you that Josh told her in his letters.

Me and him are really pretty close now.. i think we will hang out a lot after the mish.  yeah.. his looks have changes so much on his mission.. he looks old now.. but yeah... im excited that you get to see him.. its super weird that he is going to be able to talk to you face to face in like two weeks...

When is transfer day?

Next week!!! hopefully i transfer! i love this area and all but its always nice for new scenery..
