02/28/2011 HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Jason!!!
I think that kid's scripture is my favorite too! Haha! (An 8 year old in primary shared this scripture in closing exercises … Jonah 2:10 "And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.") But anyways so everything is good here. We do have a baptism this Saturday. We should have a ton coming up soon if I’m not transferred. We had 7 investigators at church this week. It was awesome and that’s usually the hardest for them to do is to go to church so I think we’re gonna get a bunch of baptisms soon. It’s so much easier now that I can actually speak Tagalog it makes it a ton simpler.
As for my birthday … it doesn’t feel like my birthday at all! Haha! It just feels like any other day for the most part not to exciting! I can’t believe I’m 23 either. Scary.
I want to see Brad’s truck. It’s probably like my dream truck haha. But that’s way cool.
I bet we will all be going to a wedding soon. Charles swore he wouldn’t get married again until I get back and I have a feeling it’s gonna happen when I get back haha.
Still no package. It’s probably stolen or on its way back to you! haha I’m just joking I’m sure its sitting at the mission home waiting for me! I don’t know too much else to tell ya.
Last week was stake conference and although I’m in a district and not a ward we got to go too. There was a speaker from Manila that is part of the 70. He was awesome. He told all these corny jokes that made everyone laugh a ton. It was good - especially his talk but he said one thing that was so awesome but everyone probably got mad at him. He talked about the Proclamation to the Family and how the mother is supposed to preside in the family. He said in order to preside you have to be present then he said how many mothers are abroad working in Samaria or China or other parts of the world. How is it that they are presiding when they aren’t present? It was good because here wives always go abroad to find work. I would say 30 percent or more. But anyways he said that he is Filipino and he knows it’s tough but mothers have no purpose leaving there family. It was way bold. The whole congregation was silent. Thank goodness that’s something we never had to worry about thanks to my lovely hard working parents!
I don’t know what else to tell ya! Everything’s good!
Love ya, Jason

Well sorry mother I don’t have much to say again. This week was the same as last. We were really really busy this week and taught a ton of people which is awesome. Normally we have way too much time to tract which isn’t very fun in the sweltering heat!! It is so so so hot. But this week was better.
Anyways so sounds like everything there is the same as usual. One thing I can’t wait for are the new movies. There are a few I really want to see that I’m pretty sure have been out for a while now. I really really want to see the new Robin Hood and Prince of Persia so I’m expecting a whole collection of movies to watch when I get home so better start now. Haha!
I need you to send me the littlest Bible you can find. Just a cheap one cause I have a tiny Book of Mormon. It’s nice to cut back on the weight I’m packing all day. I usually have a Tagalog set of scriptures and an English set then one to give away so it’s heavy.
So what did you get me for my bday. I really don’t feel like it’s almost my birthday or that I’m going to be 23. it’s kinda weird it’s just like huh whatever.
I’m pretty sure if mercury was around the floor here they wouldn’t care whatsoever. I don’t have much else to say.
Love ya Jason
