Hey guys Im on if you still are, Ill write a good long letter today..
How are you?
good! Things have been crazy, im in the middle of doing office work and trying to email you guys, we really dont get too much of a p-day, but Im learning so much each day, Im driving now here in the Phils. Its a little different, theres really no rules! Me and Elder Talanoa have taken over all of the office duties as the Hansens, the senior couple are heading out. Things are really busy, we dont teach to much, but its good to constantly be thinking of ways we can better serve the other missionaries..
I got your guys letter and pictures, I'll send some a little later, Just know im alive and well, Our tickets are scheduled for a flight out on December 30th Its coming up fast!
Technically, There should be about 6 missionaries at a time there is enough work to do, but its just me and Elder for now, there is another senior couple coming in in September, we share an apartment with the AP's, Its been an interesting change, President Peterson said that I needed to help ELder Farley for the 5 weeks I got with him, but he said before he left that he hand picked me for the office, One of our AP's is my batch, ELder Bodkin, he's a great guy, but I think President foresaw that he would need some help, its been fun to really help him out and have a say in the direction of the mission, Presidnet Mangum is an amazing man, full of humility, he is the perfect example of really working hard at something your whole life and as you stick with it you slowly rise to the top, he runs the mission like a business in a way, and its been really fun to learn how he managed Nuskin so effectively, and how he is applying and teaching us the same principles. Its fun to see him stepping into the role as president as everyone gets adjusted.
Yea the typhoon really got us. It was alot of money to give out, alot of fresh water to buy, We did a few rescue missions to far away places, bringing drinking water and giving money, We went around with president to each of the Zone Interviews and gave each companionship a workshop on Budgeting and Emergency Preparedness, It gave everyone a good scare, some companionships are still withoput power, we were without internet for 2 weeks here in the mission home, and everyone seems to still be recovering slowly each day.
Driving is fun! Its like rally car racing, It'll be fun to come back someday and you can give it a whirl if you want!
Ok LOVE YOU ALL!!
