Thank you everyone for your amazing letters. I want you all to know that it means SO MUCH to hear from family and friends while your out on the mission. It really is a breath of fresh air. Mom, thank you so much for sending those pictures!! I couldn't help but to bust up with laughter seeing that cute little Spencer back in the day. Holy cow has he changed. For the better ;) 

Marianne, could I get a list of the Merrills emails? Mom, maybe some other emails from you of who wants to be added on. Thank ya much.

I will hurry and tell you about my fun thing that I ate this week. Ready for it....?? Cow tongue. Masarap siya!! (so good!) ok, not really... but Its the attitude that counts. Right?

This week has been really good with the work. We had so many people that were able to make it to church. It's really hard out here for a lot of people to make it because they live so far away and don't have money to travel so they have to walk. Which for a lot, its hard to walk that far with all of their kids... or if their older... but it is amazing the faith of those who come every week despite of no money or their 5 little kids. They walk to church anyway because they know that the things that their Savior has done for them and they want to give back all that they can. So inspiring! 

It is amazing to see the miracles that are around us everyday. Not just for us out here in the Philippines. But for all of you guys. We are given so many blessings in our lives. Please take that time to recognize them and then thank our Heavenly Father. 

I want to add pictures for you guys so this letter will be short so I can figure out how to upload ;) 

Thank you again for all that you guys do for me. Your love and your support and especially, Your prayers!!! Maraming maraming salamat. Mahal ko kayo!!
