Hey sorry about last week. We really just ended up not having much time which is lame but then again not a ton of super interesting things happened last week either so it is all good. This week went by pretty fast. Monday we got to work with the ZLs from Iriga which you may remember was my first zone. They are super fun and we had a great time.  Tuesday we worked with a member and extended to an investigator that we found by him coming to church. Apparently elder Brown had taught him almost a year ago and then missionaries after that dropped him. His wife is a member and he finally decided that getting baptized would be a good idea so he came to church again. Anyways we are pumped for him. We also had interviews with president and he said by our next interview he wants me to be Filipino. So fluent. I for sure have some work to do but hopefully I can do it. Working in Camaligan has been super fun and I hope I will be here for another two transfers which would put me in here for 6 months. Of course some days I feel like I have walked my entire area just about 100 times. We had dinner at a member's house and we were able to give him a blessing for some chest pain he has been having.Then the next day we got a call from a sister who needed a blessing so we went over there and helped her out as well. In a perfect world we would be able to have her home teachers give a blessing but that is something that the branch still needs to work on. So I guess it isn't too different from America. We got invited to a less active members birthday party Saturday which was awesome. Sadly he got in a motorcycle accident a few days before so he was all scratched up. They gave us so much food it was totally awesome. Saturday we also went out to our furthest area and there just happened to be a member out there who was in some pain and asked us if we could give her a blessing. Lots of blessing this week it was great. The weather here has been either hot and sunny or rainy. Not a ton changes here. I have been eating really well. They just put a big mac in by the church which is a little stand that sells burgers and hot dogs. They have an awesome chili dog that I have been eating a lot of.  about the de-worm pill.  It was just maybe possible that I had a worm so no big deal really. I took a worm killer pill but if I pooped it out I didn't notice it so it is hard to say if I really had one or not. of course I named it. I have bought two pairs of pants but one of the pants I have been wearing ripped so I am back down to three pairs. I have a 72 hour kit I got it when I got to Naga. We are teaching a couple people but only Tony has a baptismal date right now. I have not taught an english lesson but that would be cool. The creams help a ton my feet are almost better. 

I love you all tons and hope you have a great week!!
