*They got to go to the Manila Temple!  

*Her companion, Sister Gaspar who goes home in 2 weeks

*Even in the Internet Cafe, she's a celebrity.  This boy, Pipoy, just stared at her and at her screen.  HaHa Funny fact, the old rule was that missionaries could only Skype twice a year, Mother's Day and Christmas.  That rule has changed and we can Skype every week if she wants to.  Yesterday, her camera and the headphones at the internet cafe didn't work.  She could only hear and see us, but we couldn't hear or see her.  She had to take this picture on her camera to send it to me.  HaHa I am soooo glad it wasn't my twice a year chance.  I would have been heartbroken!  

Hello beautiful people!!!! And guapo haha. Welcome to the Philippines through email! It's hot as ever, but it's rained a couple times. The streets are so busy because it's election day. We have had a crazy week filled with all sorts of activities. Zone conference, temple trip, Sister Gaspar had to get her departing chest Xray, we had a service project, etc! So many times this week we had to wake up at 4 or 5 am. Tiring for sure! 

I love the mission. There are some hard things, but I find so much joy in the work. I love that there's a temple in our mission! For those of you that have a temple recommend, go!!!! Go as much of you can. For those of you that don't have one, get one!! Whatever is holding you back, don't let it. Do what you need to do to get to the temple. "Do it now. Time is running out," as our living prophet, President Russell M. Nelson said last conference. If you're just not old enough yet, stay worthy or get worthy. God has so many blessings right out in front of us and He's sad when we don't just let him bless us. 

I hope that you are all happy. Sorry, we didn't get to proselyte that much this week so there's not much that I have to say. Something that President Koster told us at zone conference was that "you get what you go for." You're the only one that holds you back! Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.

I love you and pray for you!!
