03/27/2011 - Transfers!

Transfered to Ilagan.

Okay mom – don’t panic I’m sorry I didn’t email. I was at the hospital with my sick companion. He is okay now. Actually he was okay after they gave him medicine he was fine in like 15 minutes so we just hung out and played with the gadgets haha. But we didn’t get a chance to email.

But anyways everything’s great here. I did get transferred. It’s a bit different but it’s okay. I am now in Ilagan. It’s actually a ward so it’s so much different. Nothings changed except my area this is probably my second to last area crazy huh. Time goes by so fast. Matthew will be home in 3 months – that’s crazy! He will be home before we know it.

When you get home and aren’t touring the whole world without us would you find out what I have to do to apply for school in January? I want to go to school January and summer and have fall off. Let me know what you think.

Anyways everything’s good here. I wish I had something more interesting to tell you. Sorry my emails are getting so lame I just don’t know what to tell you cause there is nothing too new.

Love ya Jason

PS: I almost forgot … me and Elder Dahlin live right next to each other haha as in our houses are connected!

03/13/2011 - Moved to Higher Ground!

Hey mother!

So sounds like you guys are excited for the vacation. It’s been getting really really hot lately but its okay I think I’m used to it now and have accepted it, haha! But anyways not a whole lot is new. At our baptisms there usually is nobody to play the piano so we just sing without one it sounds terrible. I think they could even give a Ward Family Reunion a run for their money it’s that bad! Haha!

Transfers are getting close. I’m pretty sure I’ll be transferred but I’m not sure. They are on the 24th.

So earthquake update … so we where sitting there teaching a lesson and I look down at the cell phone and we had 6 missed calls. We already heard that there was something big that happened in Japan and everyone was freaking out here in the Philippines so I knew after getting 6 calls we were getting evacuated. I called our Zone Leaders and they said go buy 72 hours of food and get to Tuguie so we took off to Tug. We hungout and played games then in the morning they texted and said false alarm go back. So I don’t know if something happened in other parts but nothing happened to us. I haven’t heard anything about it yet!

Here we have 7 endowed members so you guys have more than 20 times the amount we do. Haha we don’t even have a piano player, needless to say sacrament meeting is interesting but it really isn’t too bad. Lang Kasi the branch is getting way better and they will have a church all finished in April so that’s cool.

Anyways have fun on your vacation.
Love ya, Jason

This week we had a baptism. It was good! I got to be the baptizer and conductor because nobody really could go so there were about 8 people not including missionaries. But it was good we have a bunch of people that should be getting baptized in about a month so I’m excited for them the only problem is I’m pretty sure I’m getting transferred. I’m not positive but I think so. I’m kinda tired of getting transferred to areas where I basically have to start by scratch and then when I leave the other Elders get all the fruit of my labors haha! But oh well – I’m sure they will remember me either way but ya so nothing else really happened this week.But I did get your package thanks it’s awesome. I’m trying to figure out how to get music on the ipod. It’s harder than I thought because I guess the ipod has some protection so you can’t put the music from just anywhere on there. But I’ll figure it out. It’s way cool though it has some pretty cool features on it. Another problem is that my speakers don’t work with it but that’s okay because I can get new ones that will work for super cheap here so it will work but anyways thanks a ton I can’t wait to use it.

Well I don’t have anything else to say!
Love ya, Jason
