well this week was pretty good we went to Allen Monday evening and didn't get to go home until Thursday morning so not the most fun but was still a great week we had awesome exchanges in Allen i worked with elder crockett who actually lives really close to Bakersfield in Visalia and we got absolutely drenched i haven't had an umbrella for like 7 months now but its been ok we have been able to avoid the rain but we had to walk in their area because there are no rides anywhere but we had a good day and taught some good lessons but i wear rubber shoes they are like crocks but they look like dress shoes so they just filled up with water and my socks and shoes were full of water when we got home i actually poured water out of my shoes and the next morning we went to calbayog for zone conference and our cloths were still wet so i had no socks on and then i had to explain to president Andaya why my cloths were dirty and i had no socks then we took a picture its kind of blury but ill send it to you me and elder myers are sitting on the floor and our shirts are just super yellow compared to everyone else but then we had an interview to do in allen so we slept there again and then went home thursday morning and had to go to catarman immediately to send money to the office because they sent us 14000 pesos to buy a refrigerator for some other missionaries because they don't have anywhere that sells refrigerators and we just had it delivered to there apartment ,but we already bought it and got it reimbursed so then we had 14000 extra pesos that we had to send back to the office.
well then Friday we had exchanges again with the other allen elders and had a great day then Saturday and Sunday we taught our investigators and we are hoping for 2 baptisms this march 9 but some of the members told us they saw one of our investigators smoking again so we may need to give him some more time but he is awesome and he told us he wants to go on a mission he is 19 super awesome he invited all his group of friends to join the lesson on Sunday so we have a few new missionary aged investigators and they are all super interested because of our investigator ian its funny because he had been coming to church every Sunday for 9 months and we didn't know he wasn't a member. so now all we have to do it teach him and help him quite smoking and he will be baptized so cool and hopefully his friends will follow one told us he would come to church on Sunday even though we just met him and he said he has been trying to find a church that will help him change so cool.
and something i wanted to thank you for that has been really helping our work lately is you sent me with my family pedigree chart and recently we have been using it in lessons and that is just an amazing thing when we teach temples we always use it and its like i can feel all of those peoples ancestors and all of mine helping to convert these people it is so amazing to feel the power behind such a simple thing as my families names on a piece of paper and i love it so much and i cant wait to go to the temple again. i read an article recently about a Chinese man who was the only member of the church in his family and he lived in America so he had no record of his family for the temple so then he called some family members and found a distant uncle who had something so he got a book full of names and some one in
