Best Man

From January 5

This week was awesome. We had a wedding/baptism (I wasn't able to get any pictures on my camera, so I'm working on borrowing an SD card from someone else. Sorry) for Reuben and Rochelle. I had the honor of being the Best Man and Elder Medios sang as the procession moved down the hallway. The baptism only had a dozen or so people attending because it was on a weekday, but I think it was just right.
Earlier today we had our district activity on the beach. That's where the pictures came from. Lots of fun. Sorry, time is short, and so is this email. Love you all!

From December 22, 2014

Weeks Highlights:
Wednesday-Christmas Conference. All missionaries in the Legazpi Mission in a single room. Absolute blast.
Friday-Zone Training, after the meeting was over we had a white elephant (it was kind of funny watching Filipino missionaries figure out the tactics of the white elephant for the first time) I ended up with a pretty well made knife with a carabao horn handle. After getting home felt sick. Pretty sure I picked it up from one of the missionaries at the Training.
Saturday-Sick... Blech. We weren't able to go to the baptisms of two investigators from Malilipot or the Branch Christmas Party. I felt bad for Elder Medios, cooped up with me instead of having a good time with the branch.
Sunday-still kind of sick, but had no choice but to go to church, take a trip to Tabaco to get my blood tested (labs weren't open, wasted effort) administer a special sacrament to a member who lives really far away, and figure out the baptismal interview for two of our investigators... Yeah, I felt miserable last night trying to sleep.
Baptismal Interview: Reuben and Rochelle, our super awesome investigators, both passed their interview. They'll be married between now and January first in preparation for their baptism no January first (the date was at their request) I'm super excited.
